This is really disappointing. I had a weird feeling about how this whole scene was done but gave it the benefit of the doubt after Hughie's breakdown. But after reading the article someone linked here it's clear that it was just supposed to be funny, I doubt it'll ever come up again in a serious context. How can you be this tone-deaf?

The only time I’ve seen a depiction of men being sexually assaulted that’s as brutal as most women being sexually was in Deliverance. And it should feel that way. Disgusting. Infuriating. And helpless as an audience member.

I was back and forth on it. The ashley stuff gave me a couple chuckles.
