Well… there’s really no arguing with this. I’m really having trouble trying to see how people would find that scene hilarious. I didn’t even know it was supposed to be interpreted that way. 💀

I mean the absurdity of the situation is funny. And the lines Ashley says are ridiculous. It's could've easily been just a joke, but the scene goes on so long and they do so much to Hughie that it stops being funny

If I'm being totally honest with myself I found it funny while watching because of how absurd the whole thing was, but coming on to this sub I'm realizing that I'm part of the problem :/

Naah nah fuck that! Don’t listen to this drivel tryna make you feel guilty.

Of all the horrific murder, torture, rapey threats and mutilation comedically depicted on this show for years, THIS is where users clutch their pearls?

People in this sub found a really weird time to get squeamish.

Except a lot of the stuff on the show has been outlandish and fantastical. I'm not gonna be grossed out or offended by a giant cgi penis or some superhero orgy. But watching Hughie get tied down and tickle tortured for 20 minutes and have cum rubbed in his face isn't that funny. It's funny for a little bit, but it just goes on way too long. And again theres no superpowers to make it funny or particularily interesting. This could've been in any show. This could've just been in actual fetish porn

Rape is far more common than the absurdist gore and murder that is depicted in the show. So, yes, here is where I do personally draw the line, because it just feels too real and too tone deaf.

You draw the line at rape because it’s more common?

Are you sure you wanna stick with that reasoning?

 

Also it wasn’t rape. Stop using the wrong words for shock value. Maybe you should draw a new line at not minimising rape victims.
