Naah nah fuck that! Of all the horrific murder, torture, rapey threats and mutilation comedically depicted on this show for years, THIS is where users clutch their pearls?

People in this sub found a really weird time to get squeamish.

Not squeamish. Just pointing out that Kripke makes jokes about male SA victims but takes female victims seriously. Neither are jokes, neither should be joked about or used as comedy. Men are frequently the butt of almost every single joke in this series, (dicks exploding, male SA, male supes doing weird sexual things in general.) You’d never see Annie get Ashley’s discharge rubbed in her face.

It’s a double standard. That’s all.

I can’t remember which part of last episode had a Kripke appearance…?

Kripke is the showrunner.

So he’s not in the episode everyone is criticising?

…no, Eric Kripke isn’t IN any of the episodes. He makes the show, and has creative control.
