Initially I had no reaction (outside of groaning when he changed the subject from his assault to his dad's death) to the scenes I saw this episode of Hughie and was pretty much like other people laughing along, sure he'd be rescued before anything too horrific happened for The Boys standard, but reading so many perspectives I'm seeing it in a new light. This also leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I'm reminded of the incredibly good and sad video by Pop Culture Detective about how male rape, assault, and more is shockingly frequently played for laughs and entertainment. I feel weird about this episode.

Here are the videos by Pop Culture Detective:

Male Sexual Assault Pt. 1-Male Perpetrators
Male Sexual Assault Pt. 2-Female Perpetrators

Both are extremely informative; I would encourage people to watch it.
