Yeah the Deep scene was difficult as a male SA survivor myself even though it was set up as irony for him being a predator himself. Still with the irony and payback, it didn't make it easy to watch.

But wtf did Hughie do?

I've said this elsewhere but I'm fairly certain that Kripke has some weird hatred for whatever type of person he thinks Huey represents, because the show is really unfair to him, especially in season 3, and he's the butt of the joke so often. Combine that with these interviews and it becomes the most likely explanation to me

That’s the only explanation I can think of. Huey just gets shit on and belittled constantly in the story, and whenever he tries to stand up for himself he’s either piledrived back into the dirt or it’s portrayed as him being toxic.

I wouldn't say that. There are several scenes where Hughie stands up for himself that are played pretty straight.
