>It's comedic exaggeration - funny *because* it's way over the top. It COULD be funny. But considering there's no evidence Helen doesn't love Bobby, or that she views Bobby as a burden, a mistake, or any other comparable negative? I don't see the humor in completely 180-ing her character just to do the inverse of that "POOR BOBBY NEEDS ALL THE PITY EVER" bullshit.
>And if you can't see any cruelty, intentional or otherwise, in a mom taking her son to watch her get gang-banged by strangers on camera for some completely inexplicable reason, than I really can't help you. The fact of the matter is that, other than the distinct possibility of him being the punchline once again, there's no explanation as to why Bobby is there. If I had to wager a guess, he's there because he wants to make sure his mom doesn't get hurt or in over her head or whatever - in other words, he's there by his own choice rather than Helen's. Now, if she DID drag him along, yeah, that's just straight-up fucked. But you should also note that Bobby isn't watching his mom getting fucked. The chances that he WILL see it are high because that aligns with the gag character that he is. But if he wanted to see his mom get fucked, or if Helen wanted her son to watch her get fucked, I'm pretty sure Bobby would still be on set.
THE BROADER POINT IS: The whole "take a minor joke and turn it up to 11 every time" schtick is not funny, and doing this shit in every fucking comic thread after every fucking comic page that gets posted is tiresome to the point where I would want to beg the mods to lock comic threads between pages. I'm all good with some mockery of Eric's writing; this EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME bullshit makes you no better than a 12-year-old edgelord. Go back to saying slurs in open-mic gaming lobbies if you're going to keep doing this shit.
