Now don't get me wrong, overall I still like the series, but it's always bothered me how sexist it was. The show portrays abuse towards women as completely disgusting and terrible yet worse things that happen towards men are brushed aside and are often played for laughs. In the latest season, there's an episode where Hughie basically gets raped and degraded for a large chunk of the episode and that's meant to be funny. Later in the season, he gets sexually exploited AGAIN by a shapeshifter and his ugly cunty bitch of a girlfriend gets mad at him for it.
The show would NEVER in a million years have a female character get sexually assaulted and play it off as a joke. The few scenes where female characters do in fact get violated are taken quite seriously by the story and other characters but nobody cares when a male character goes through worse things. It's hard to recall a single scene from a popular recent television show or film where a main female character gets raped as a joke, but I can think of quite a few of theses about men.
It should be obvious to anyone with a brain that people naturally have a shit ton more empathy for females than they do men. Writers are aware of this fact so they don't waste their time showing the detrimental effects that this kind of stuff has on men since they know their audiences frankly won't care. I'm so fucking sick of women having it easier in almost every facet of life. Females go through things that are LESS bad than what men go through (and less frequently too) yet they receive MORE sympathy than men. Anyone who genuinely thinks women have it harder than men in life or thinks society "hates" women is a braindead fucking retard. The media still won't shut up about the Brock Turner case where this guy wasn't punished that harshly for sexual assault, yet multiple times a week there are stories about women raping underage teenagers and getting away with it with little to no punishment. You have to be blind not to see how society clearly favors women and couldn't give less of a shit about men.
