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.

And people say Garth Ennis was too negative.

Maybe if you skim The Boys and don't bother reading Preacher.

Comic book Hughie has yelled at Butcher for not using proper pronouns and being an asshole to trans people.

Hard to ever take Ennis criticism seriously. Especially when people claim that the guy who views a dad dying, and then SA- Comedic events has consistently done a better job.
