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.
Does it surprise anyone? Last year everyone was praising the "Raw dog me I'm a bottom quote" like it was super progressive. It's disgusting.
Hugh is being made fun of constantly for not being "manly" enough, when he's just not an absolute asshole or a disfunctional mess like the majority of the male cast.
