AAARGH that is even worse than I thought it would be. Crocky and me had cynical bets going on how that subplot was going to end, but even we didn't think they'd go so far as to include domestic violence. Wow.

As for escapism - there probably has to be a place for those poor white/het/able-bodied/cis/misogynist men who want to escape into a world in which they are the heroes and all those pesky, uppity minorities are shown who's boss. *cue saddest song on smallest violin*
