    If you were tricked by someone shapeshifting into your partner then

    CW: SA

    were you really able to give consent? Weren't you actually r*ped?

    Everything about that whole plot line felt disgusting. Then they had Annie get mad at Hughie for it??

    I'm sorry but ::: spoiler spoiler how the fuck was Hughie supposed to know that it's not actually Annie?! People can have sudden changes of mood, no? :::

    But to answer your question - if the partner knew about it and went with it anyway, then I might consider that cheating.

    edit: I don't know how to do spoiler on Boost ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

      I mean sure, but it's also a valid human response, especially when you've just escaped captivity, to be upset as an immediate reaction.

    Honestly it feels like character assassination for Annie. I feel like earlier portrayal of the character doesn't seem like a character who would be so callous and cruel to her partner cw

    spoiler

    after he discovered he'd been repeatedly raped.

    Honestly I think the creators are complete pieces of shit, they've made it pretty clear that they consider this a laughing matter. Saw someone suggest that they wouldn't be surprised if a couple years down the line the show runner turned out to be a Joss Whedon type, and it seems within the realm of possibility.

    Reading all these comments I'm glad I haven't watched the show since like season 2. Like maybe I would if had nothing else to gawk at.

    Antony starr is better off if he did more shit like banshee.

      I gotta say, I enjoyed it way less after season 2. This season was barely enjoyable.

        They abandoned the most of the major points and started to make it some deep commentary like west wing. I would've liked it if they stuck to keeping homelander close to what he was in those comics. A self aggrandizing PR face who also is a true believer in bizarre way. Or any of the cia nazis plot.
