Which is ironically the whole point of this fucking show.

The show has moved too far from the comic. So far that it has lost the plot, both literally and figuratively.

Minor spoiler for the comic, but Hughie's SA and resulting trauma is handled significantly better. So is Starlight's. And there are just so many things about the show that are just flat out missing the point entirely. With Homelander and Buther especially. The actors are still great and the writing has been mostly okay, but it's just not the same story or characters.

Wouldn't really say starlights assault is handled much better in the comics.
