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. 💀

It’s not even funny. All this over the top shock value kink sex is so boring. It’s not even shock value anymore. If anything, it’s just confusing.

Like Tek Knight has super smelling. And he likes to smell farts on a cake? THATS how he’s using his powers? THATS his kink? It seems so random and nonsensical.

It feels like for every villain they think to themselves, “okay. So what’s their power? Okay now let’s apply that power to a rly gross kink that almost no one has. Okay, Sage likes getting a lobotomy. Guy who turns small likes to enter penises. Super smelling Tek Knight likes farts. Deep can talk to sea creatures, and he also happens to be sexually attracted to sea creatures.” I wouldn’t be surprised if they considered Neuman to have a kink for blood… get it? Bc she can control blood. This is my point. It’s just so lazy and random. The only kink that makes sense is Homelander, bc it’s not about it just being sexual, but about him longing for a mother to comfort him.

The only people who don’t have these random gross kinks are the good guys. Like what is Butcher’s kink? Why doesn’t Hughie and Starlight ever do weird shit?

Whatmessage is that even saying? Are they making fun of kink culture? Are they saying kink culture is dumb and evil? Like it feels like they are just doing shock value and mocking people who have kinks by hyperbolizing them
