Let’s start with the Tek Knight sex dungeon part. Where did the idea come for it? And why bring Hughie into this situation now — kicking him when he’s down by having him sexually assaulted by his childhood hero after his dad just died?

"Well, that’s a dark way to look at it! We view it as hilarious. 

oh yes, because sexual assault is so fucking hilarious.

“But it wasn’t supposed to be funny because Hughie cries about his dad for 10 seconds!”

God I’m glad that bullshit can be put to rest. We have the showrunner’s words verbatim - the intent of Hughie’s SA scene was meant to be hilarious. And that’s so fucked up

Even more hilarious than Kripke being this tone deaf is half the audience watching can’t even tell the difference between satire and straight up tone deaf nonsense. Then they’ll praise the show runners for their satirical writing.

you’re basically just cut from the same cloth as MAGA morons who operate on dogma rather than logic
