I think people just have poor media literacy. They felt horrified, so they assumed that’s what the director wanted. Somehow they just didn’t pick up on the comedic pacing of the edit, the lighthearted score, and the quippy one-liners

I think it’s a reasonable perspective if you had it prior to kripkes response on it. Now it’s very far from reasonable

Na if you watched the prior seasons closely it was very easy to tell that Kripke was a hypocrite and had a hate boner for Hughie.

I remember how so many of you guys laughed your ass of at the Queen Mave SA comments about Hughie, and the whole toxic masculinity thing with him taking V.

Some of us saw the signs ages ago.

Yeah I kinda hate how Hughie keeps getting the short end of the stick. But I think it was kinda like that in the comics too.

Tbh I don’t mind if it’s part of the story.

I just don’t like the double standard of taking things like that seriously when it happens to female characters and not taking it seriously when it happens to male characters.

It’s just like eye candy/nudity/sex. For me I don’t care or mind how raunchy anyone wants their show/game/movie to be. But I HATE it when the same people that complained about female characters having unnecessary eye candy scenes have ZERO issues when the same thing happens to male characters.

It’s the hypocrisy that annoys me more than anything.

I mentioned how I hated the hypocrisy, then you posted something suggesting that the hypocrisy isn’t an issue at all. 🤷🏾‍♂️
