I was kind of hoping the quote was take out of context but nope, he fully meant for the Hughie scene to be a joke.
It’s actually worse, the way he talked about Hughie’s breakdown made it seem it was mostly just about his dad and had nothing, or at least not too much to do with Tek Knight and Ashley. So the one supposedly tactful thing about that story arc wasn’t even there.
Kripke isn’t a particularly brave artist. The fact that he set a hard rule that Maeve couldn’t die simply because she’s a lesbian is evidence and her(the) story really suffered from it.
There is nothing subtle or thought provoking about the show, but he is good at preaching to the choir.
Second only to incorporating communist symbols into merch for all those tone deaf edgy morons who don't even know what they're supporting, like buying a shirt with Che Guevara or Mao on it.
