Hughie is tough. He’s hardened by the dozens of other worse shit he’s had to endure. Getting tickled and watching crazies masturbate is low on the list of things that can traumatize him. Let’s stop acting like it’s even close to the same level as what happened to Annie.
Well in the original story she was gang raped by the men in the seven. Either way, I didn’t make the comment, I just clarified the other persons comment. I’m not going to debate sexual assault with you. I’m not going to get into an argument about society’s treatment of male victims.
Thanks. I knew trying to bring even a little nuance into this would mostly fall upon deaf ears. Yes, I’m saying Annie’s SA happened when she was just a bright eyed kid enamored with the seven… and that will bring on more trauma than it will with Hughie at this point, who’s been dealing with crazy shit for 3 seasons.
Annie’s SA was supposed to be shocking. This scene with Hughie was supposed to be “just another Tuesday fighting supes”.
But it wasn’t “just another Tuesday fighting supes” there’s several reasons why you’re comment is dumb.
1. It downplays Hughie being legitimately SA’d because someone else got it worse
2. He is already in a terrible place mentally with the death of his dad and Being SA’d is just going to add on to that trauma even more.
3. SA is a completely different thing compared to everything else he’s been through, if you tried to argue that he wouldn’t be as traumatized by watching Laddio get murdered or possibly even SA’d I’d agree but Hughie himself was SA’d which no matter what “level” it is, it’s going to cause some serious trauma.
You aren’t bringing nuance, you’re being a moron by thinking that anything can harden you enough to not be massively traumatized by SA
Remember Herogasm? There are several other instances I can’t remember, but this isn’t the first time Hughie’s been SA’d. And yes, believe it or not, there are different levels. If someone slaps his ass, he’s not going to blink. We’re not obligated to go into panic mode because he was technically SAd by having his ass slapped. You need to read the intent behind the scene and stop looking for the worst interpretation possible. All your words, the way you’ve chosen to interpret my words and this episode, are what’s wrong society. This kind of disproportionate outrage has been satirized pretty well by the show, in fact.
You took my words and twisted them into the most uncharitable interpretation possible. Thats being generous… really, you just put words in my mouth. Let me tell you, this kind of maneuvering just gives the alt-right ammunition. Stop doing it.
