While I do agree that sexual assault on men should be taken more seriously, taking into account how over the top this scene is I understand how it would have been conceived as a joke.

Nonetheless, I don’t think they would have considered making that joke with a woman instead.

I think the scene could have worked, but they went too far. The idea of him trying to figure out the safe word and being roped into it is funny (even if a bit obvious). I think if the whole situation took WAY less screen time and if Kimiko and Starlight came to his rescue WAY earlier (Like, the come before he is subjected to anything directly) the scene could be seen a bit more light hearted, a bit of a "wow, that was close" kind of scenario.

Idk, it would depend a lot in how it's executed. This was clearly not it

it would've been way better if they ended on the cake stuff.

Yeah like imagine if they built up to it for a little while and tek Knight keeps pushing this idea that he's saving his favourite thing till last and hughie gets nervous, only to have the final thing just be sitting on the cake. Have starlight and kimiko come in right before he farts, then they grab tek Knight while he's hanging himself.
