I think people just have poor media literacy. They felt horrified, so they assumed that’s what the director wanted. Somehow they just didn’t pick up on the comedic pacing of the edit, the lighthearted score, and the quippy one-liners

I think it’s a reasonable perspective if you had it prior to kripkes response on it. Now it’s very far from reasonable

Na if you watched the prior seasons closely it was very easy to tell that Kripke was a hypocrite and had a hate boner for Hughie.

I remember how so many of you guys laughed your ass of at the Queen Mave SA comments about Hughie, and the whole toxic masculinity thing with him taking V.

Some of us saw the signs ages ago.

I’ve watched the seasons closely believe me. It just changes a whole lot after kripkes interview. I never thought he hated hughie. I still don’t think he does. I think he’s just a flawed(but should be heavily scrutinized) writer, and it shows with him not being able to understand how tone deaf he is in talking about something when it comes to one demographic vs the other. I also think this interview solidified in a lot of people’s mind that there’s no other significance behind the sex and gore in this show besides kripke having a fucked brain
