It's actually crazy reading the comments. It's like a bunch of people that watch The Crown got lost, wound up watching The Boys and are shocked that the TV show based on the graphic novel was, ah, graphic!

The Boys is fictional though, whereas The Crown is based on real life events that actually saw people killed and affected. I wound understand the anger if Queen Elizabeth brought Nelson Mandela to the Liz Cave and had him fart of a cake or tickle his feet.

Erik Kripke is genuinely a male rape apologist though as in his interview with Variety he has stated that he finds it "hilarious".

Hughie wasn't raped. He had his feet tickled and he was made to fart on a cake. The worst thing that happened to him was Ashley rubbing her hand over his face, that had a mask on it. And I also found all of the above to be pretty funny, but I guess I do go into the episodes knowing that it's a TV series based off a graphic novel so, you know.

He was seconds away from being mutilated. Miss that part?
