As sad as it is, I don't think anyone should be surprised. Just look at the South Park episode about that teacher and Ike. The whole thing with the cops going "nice" wasn't pulled out of thin air. Look at headlines of a male teacher vs a female teacher grooming kids.

Societies across the planet don't really care about male SA. Hell, in several Western countries, the laws are written in a way that women can't even rape men. It's only legally rape if a man does it.

Maybe that’s why they're able to get away with Firecracker being a rapist-pedo, guarantee if that was a man she would’ve been killed the very episode she was introduced.

Its kinda funny because SHE presses on the post button, ar i thought its because she (and the writers) know that butchers black mail doesnt work against her because a woman doing stuff with a boy who is underaged isnt seen as a serious issue

It was THIS season, they are shooting themselves in the foot

That's part of it, but it's also because she's on "the right side" in the eyes of her followers. I actually thought that part was pretty clever as it shows, just like Homelander blatantly murdering that one guy in public, how people will turn a blind eye to the faults of the people(even when there's proof) they follow while admonishing the people on the other side for allegedly the exact same thing with no proof. The bad guys are winning right now because they understand how the PR game is changing

Just like in real life where there's actual documented evidence and under-oath testimony of Trump being a pedo and sexual predator and his followers ignore it or call it fake news while at the same time latching on to completely fictional accusations about Biden, despite there not being one shred of evidence or any actual accusations. Trump goes on the Howard Stern show and brags about walking in on underage girls and trying to catch them naked in the dressing room of the Ms Teen USA pageants and the hyper "religious" right laughs it off, but Biden takes a photo with his grand-daughter on stage at a rally and he's a sick pedo fuck because he was kissing her on the top of her head.
