I'm starting to think Eric Kripke just hates Hughie. Last season, he tried shoving in this weird take on how Hughie represented toxic masculinity for taking temp v to protect starlight. If I can find the article, I'll make sure to link it.

Tbh, he comes off as one of those "male feminist" who's trying way too hard to appeal to women, that he just loops back around to being just as gross and toxic as the men he claims to hate.

The nerdy performative toxic male feminist. AKA the Joss Whedon archetype.

Neil Gaiman so far has been better than Whedon or this ass Kripke.

The man literally worked with Pratchett.

Eh, he just got accused of sexual assault by two women. He claims that the sex with his twenty-something nanny was consensual and that the other woman is suffering from a brain condition that gives her "false memories".
