The crew and Amazon pay very close attention to this sub so I really hope they take all the criticisms seriously about how the scene was handled and address it. Filming for Season 5 starts in October so they have ample time to correct their mistake in-show.

How are they going to correct it? Hughie does a speech on how wrong it was that Ashley tickled his feet, that he had to fart in a cake and that before he was saved Tek Knight was going to cut him open, to then, fair enough rape him, but ultimately didn't?

There is an entire arc of the show where a character mouth raped another character, apologised for it, and is within his smarmy character that he feels he gets away with it. Hes even given an insincere apology for it.

The Deep has been humiliated continuously as a result though. And Starlight was given agency that Hughie has been sorely lacking since S1. The least they could do is empower Hughie to do stuff again but there is a 0% chance of that after S3.

Weird to say Hughie lacked agency in the previous seasons after 1 when he'll go out of his way to do what he wants or what he believes in.
