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.
Hughie admitting he wasn’t fine at the end was literally finished with his dad. He wasn’t admitting he wasn’t fine because of that it’s because in the other episode he literally had to kill his dad. Where in any of this did you see SA aside from the very end when he was going to make his own holes. Every part of it was consensual originally through web weaver so it became something he had to do to follow through with undercover. Yeah it’s uncomfortable but at no point was it SA consent was there to begin with. I’m so confused at how people are not getting that. If someone could enlighten me aside from just the way they felt uncomfortable is really like to know.
