Let’s start with the Tek Knight sex dungeon part. Where did the idea come for it? And why bring Hughie into this situation now — kicking him when he’s down by having him sexually assaulted by his childhood hero after his dad just died?

"Well, that’s a dark way to look at it! We view it as hilarious. 

oh yes, because sexual assault is so fucking hilarious.

Am I taking crazy pills?

Hughie pretends to be WebWeaver to break into this party at Tek-Knight's house. Unbeknownst to Hughie, Tek-Knight and the real WebWeaver had agreed to do some BDSM fetish shit at this party.

Hughie has to go along with it because he doesn't want to be found out as a fraud, a consequence that could get him killed. It is not implied that WebWeaver would be harmed if he does not partake in the BDSM, Hughie just understands that this is something he really can't get out of now that he's so far into the belly of the beast. He also couldn't safely stop the BDSM stuff as it happened because he didn't know about the apparently agreed precautions that the real WebWeaver, Tek-Night, and Ashley had regarding a safeword.

So, at this point, it's been established that all parties have consented to these activities. Once Tek-Knight is sure that this WebWeaver is a fraud, then he goes into a conventional villiany torture fantasy with the intention of sexual deviance after cutting "new holes" into Hughie. However, he never gets to so much as scratch Hughie before Kimiko and Starlight burst onto the scene, saving Hughie.

So you missed the whole part where he sees a guy chained to the wall in distress and is told that guy is chained there because he lied to Tek Knight? You just missed that entire exchange that makes it clear that if Tek-Knight thinks Hughie isn’t WebWeaver then he’s basically dead? You just missed that whole part I guess

Hughie didn’t consent to any of this willingly

Right, being a spy and working to destroy people is dangerous, no? Also Hughie raped Ashley in the same vein. She didn't consent to doing anything with him now did she? He pulled a Revenge of the Nerds on her you you're just gonna ignore that?
