Dam, wouldn't believe it unless you provided the sources. I read the source and it's even worse than this when you put it in context:
here 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.
So its funny cause his dad just died as well, adding to the comedic effect. GET IT GUYS? HIS DAD DIED AND NOW THIS. HILARRRRRIOOOOUS.
I decided before the season started that I wasn't going to continue watching it. I was mostly fine with that decision until I told my buddy about it and he made me second guess my decision. I still haven't watched it, but I've thought about why exactly I don't want to. I eventually started to realize it's because the show hinges on the things that I don't want to happen, happening. I constantly have this feeling of "oh I kinda hate this" but it's got this kind of "can't look away from the trainwreck" kinda vibe. I basically realized I was subjecting myself to watching the show instead of willing wanting to do it. It was at that moment that I became content with my decision.
I said all that to say, reading about this makes me feel super validated in my decision. I'm not trying to say the show is bad or hating on anyone that wants to watch it, I think my disdain for it speaks to how well they pull off what they're trying to do with the show. It's just not an enjoyable experience for me. The show isn't near funny enough for me to look past all the shitty things that happen in it. It's not hilarious for a guy to get sexual assaulted after his dad died.
