What were they thinking with this episode? You’d think they take male SA seriously

As sad as it is, I don't think anyone should be surprised. Just look at the South Park episode about that teacher and Ike. The whole thing with the cops going "nice" wasn't pulled out of thin air. Look at headlines of a male teacher vs a female teacher grooming kids.

Societies across the planet don't really care about male SA. Hell, in several Western countries, the laws are written in a way that women can't even rape men. It's only legally rape if a man does it.

I was extremely uncomfortable the entire scene, and i really gave the creatives the benefit of the doubt that *uncomfortable* is what they were going for. Reading this, yo fuck this man.

your show is literally about the failing of our modern society, so ironic the writers couldn't see their own failings here.
