it was kinda funny in the moment imo, and I think that’s okay.
it was framed very differently than Annie's situation with The Deep, context and tone are everything. the mistaken identity, the BDSM bit, the sheer absurdity of it; it was funny.
treating the scene after it, with Hughie having a genuine moment of reflection and grief, as a joke is what isn't okay. I think I'll just choose to interpret the art differently than what it was intended to be, because I detest the idea that the situation- after the fact- doesn't fuck with Hughie.
Damn thanks. As a man who was sexual assaulted as a kid I should have just laughed at it all instead of being traumatized by it. I mean shit why treat the subject matter with any kind of respect when you can make a big joke out of it like %99 of the depictions of men being sexually assaulted in media.

That’s fucked up. None of that was funny.
