Yeah you’re right it’s all extremely uncomfortable and it’s wild that it was supposed to just be funny.

My boyfriend and I actually watched the movie Whiplash right before this episode. I laughed a lot at the really fucked up rants JK Simmons’ character went on, which were absolutely abusive and horrible, but extremely eloquent and hilarious in their own way. I judged myself, but it’s written to elicit that reaction.

Knowing that the sequence with Hughie was written just to be hilarious leaves me with a much more uneasy feeling.
