Starlight and Deep

Women like sex too but they have different considerations. In real life lots of women like aggressive males, at least in my experience, but they don't want to get raped either. Other women like a soft hand. You have to read the situation and don't act like a creeper. Generation makes a big difference. Women my age tend to be more coy, they want to be wined and dined, take things slow, afraid of being judged. But younger women are much more forward and will just come right out and proposition you, they might even get put off if you act coy. I'm told by young women that guys never ask them out, and if they do, rarely make the first move. Probably why young women are going after older guys. Works out best for both age groups really, they each get to just have sex without drama.

As for Starlight, it's a TV show with an obvious agenda in gender politics. In one episode Deep is supposed to be an intimidating bad guy and in the next he's getting his gills penetrated by some rando 90lb groupie. We are supposed to believe that the supe who couldn't defend himself from some tiny girl was able to bully the 2nd most powerful supe. Starlight is not some single mom with no options or teenager in a fast food joint, she's been fighting crime for years and has a contract with Vought. It's hamfisted. And the sex between Hughie and Starlight ... WTF was that? And we are supposed to believe she orgasmed from whatever it was they were doing.. LOL.

What I don't get is what you're trying to say.

Starlight was a small town girl with old fashioned values. She didn't want to move too fast, and certainly not be coerced into anything to achieve her dream of being part of the Seven.

She wasn't interested. She gave no sign of attraction. He just dropped trou when she was taking on a new environment. It's pretty gross without the power play. Add the coersion and it became completely inappropriate. I don't know which gay guys you hang out with, but my friends would probably tell him to f-off.

I mean, just whipping your dick out might not be the best way to entice a woman.

He may have been her teenage crush, but she only knows him from what she saw growing up which in this world is so skewed from who they actual are because they're all commercialized. Because of that she never knew who he really was and how much of a creep he is.

Pretty sure that's why the saying is "never meet your heroes." You think you have an idea of who someone is just to meet them and realize they're not at all who you know them to be, ruining your perception.

If I had the chance to meet my celebrity crush and found out they were a major asshole, I wouldn't want anything to do with them anymore.

What I didn't like was how the narrative focused so heavily on The Deeps sexual harassment/coercion of Starlight was but totally glosses over a male character being raped and blackmailed.
