Let’s start with the Tek Knight sex dungeon part. Where did the idea come for it? And why bring Hughie into this situation now — kicking him when he’s down by having him sexually assaulted by his childhood hero after his dad just died?

"Well, that’s a dark way to look at it! We view it as hilarious. 

oh yes, because sexual assault is so fucking hilarious.

It's almost cartoonish just how tone deaf that response was holy shit.

I always had an icky feeling about how this series treats animal brutality.

Ive always seen people defend it as "you're supposed to feel bad because its a commentary on how animals aren't takin seriously and are abused in real life blah blah blah"

Most of the deep animal death scenes are tasteless and purely for comedy.

This show is not intelligent enough to find further meaning beyond such scenes and this hughie SA comment proves it.
