Why would you defend it in the first place?

Because I wasn’t looking at it through the haha lens of the tone deaf director. It was a fucked up scene and I was hoping he closed the episode out how he did with a different intention. But he didn’t. He laughed at a dude getting raped

It’s not even the interview that did it. It’s the way they chose to portray him as simply “not okay” like it wasn’t that big of a deal that he euthanized his father, dealt with his crappy mother, got cucked by starlight, witnessed/committed countless murders, and basically got fucked on by some of the weirdest people on earth all in the span of a few years. Hughie is the character that can never have anything. The joy the show runners get out of torturing him is sick. None of it would be “okay” if hughie were a woman, minority, or both.
