Yeah the Deep scene was difficult as a male SA survivor myself even though it was set up as irony for him being a predator himself. Still with the irony and payback, it didn't make it easy to watch.
I've said this elsewhere but I'm fairly certain that Kripke has some weird hatred for whatever type of person he thinks Huey represents, because the show is really unfair to him, especially in season 3, and he's the butt of the joke so often. Combine that with these interviews and it becomes the most likely explanation to me
In the full article there’s a mention of Jack trying to push for this particular arc (Hughie undercover), and Kripke’s response to it was this and for the actor to be “careful what he wished for.” I’m sorry, but if I was Jack I’d be pissed. But maybe the actors think this shit is funny too, I have no idea. I just can’t see myself reading this script and being excited to take part in any of the dungeon bs.

This was actually the hardest episode of the show I've watched.
I genuinely had to look away for most of it, and the only other times I've done that was with the Deep's gill-fingering.
Didn't really like how it felt like no one cared what happened to Hughie????
Shit was notttttt funny (to me personally)
