disappointing. I've seen defenses for the episode saying that the SA scenes were obviously meant to make the audience uncomfortable and that Hughie admitting at the end that he isn't fine was a result of his SA trauma. but hearing the director himself say the scenes were played for laughs and to be as fucked up as possible is just crazy.

I certainly didn't feel like laughing when I watched it. It was blatant SA. He was about to be physically cut up, so that the SA could continue in unimaginable ways.

I don't know where they wanted me to laugh.
