Hi so. So what do you mean they literally use "you were the dom" as the reason Stolas is the victim and Blitzo isn't. What do you mean they just unironically made that a plot point. What.
The very notion that bottoms/subs can't be abusive literally is used by groomers to free themselves from the guilt of their actions or so they can manipulate victims into believing they aren't being coerced. The writers can't be fucking serious right now! This is genuinely gross
Can I just say HB genuinely defending Stolas' sexual coercion of Blitz with "well Blitz was the top so he was obviously in control" might genuinely be one of the most poorly written and generally just overall fucking gross things ive ever seen a tv show do like what the fuck man
its so funny that this is a ACTUAL thing stolas says. "yeah i may have trapped you in a deal that jeopardizes your entire life if i pulled away but you wanted to crack first" like. hooooolyyyy yiiiikes
Also, the implications that Blitzo couldnt have been coerced bc hes a top, and the overall handling of more extreme kink as not a valid way of expressing oneself but as a way of self harm is very very weird in a way im not articulate enough to explain
The tone being serious when the episode focuses on Blitzø taking accountability for his actions and Stolas being upset, but comedic when Blitzø is rightfully upset
@theshebinator@wispiicoatl No, it pisses me off when Comedy/Drama shows are awful with writing the mix of the two. You can't make a joke we're supposed to ignore because it's still something that happened. Both the comedy and the drama are there for characterization. you can't pick and choose
@wispiicoatl That whole scene is just a mess. Literally the only thing the writers can do to make Stolas more "likable" so they can still pretend the blame is equal is for him to feel guilty 😭
blitz was raped, had his abuser bring hookups into his house, all his friends are somehow on stolas' side, his business is getting ripped off, gets humiliated and cucked by rich people AGAIN and somehow he still needs to be "more mature" GET OFF MY SCREEN #HelluvaBoss
