He's the main character, it's easy to write the main character into hell so you can pull them out later

He's been a punching bag for 4 seasons. When is he getting pulled out?

Last episode of season 5, if he's lucky.

Ok maybe but rape doesn’t have to be part of it, especially with the showrunner who admits he finds it funny

Finds it funny if it happens to a male.. starlights SA had to be treated seriously, Hughies was treated as a gag reel

I wasn't defending rape. I was explaining why allot of writers put their babies through the wringer.

I got you, don't worry.

My writing mentor always phrased it as, "Kill your darlings." No story if there's no suffering.

She needed to get him to sleep so she could steal the evidence out of the lockbox, and there's one sure fire way to achieve that

The showrunner allowed a scene where their version of Spider-Man shat his webbing in fear. These are dumbasses who didn’t even know they did two rape scenes in two episodes.

Co-Main character

Butcher is the main character

They each get to hold the main character stick but clearly someone is hogging

99.9% Hughie gets more screentime, so I’d say main character fits him and Butcher is the co-lead

I donno about it, especially after the double standard of the last season with him and Kimiko use of V and the latest interview. Guess we'll see

Uhm his dad died and he gets raped twice in a span of a few days. That’s about as low for him I think

Don't worry, they'll find a way
