The Boys has never been a show not to dodge controversies thanks to its outrageous content and in-your-face politics, but the new episode of season 4 has seen to ruffle quite a few feathers. The episode titled "Dirty Business" had plenty of boundary-pushing scenes that left many baulking, the the sequence that riled many up is the Bat-Cave, sorry, we mean, Tek-Cave scene. ‘The Boys’ Season 4 Episode 6: From Homelander’s ‘Milk’ Fetish to That ‘Fight Club’ Twist, 7 WTF Moments From the New Episode That Left Us Gagged, Shocked and Stunned!

To give you some context, The Boys have to infiltrate an exclusive party hosted by Robert Vernon, aka Tek Knight (Derek Wilson), for some ultra-rich alt-right supporters and supes and find out what they are up to. Hughie (Jack Quaid), who has been mourning his father's demise, decides to go undercover, and he dresses up as Spider-Man, sorry, we mean, Webweaver (Dan Mousseau), who somehow got an invite. Little did he know the reason Webweaver got the invite was because Tek-Knight wanted him to be a participant in his BDSM session along with Ashley Barrett (Colby Minifie) in his secret Tek-Cave.

Not wanting to drop his disguise, Hughie grudgingly participates in what are some humiliating moments for him, like sitting buck-naked on a chocolate cake and farting on it, and then being tied on a pommel stand and having Ashley tickle his feet for sexual gratification while saying the most disgusting stiff, and then do something even a bit yuckier on his mask. And let's say all this is played for comedy.

Why Fans Were Angry With The Boys S4E6

This is what fans of the show are miffed with; they feel Hughie was sexually violated in the scene, and The Boys went extreme by playing it for comedy. It doesn't help that Hughie is shown breaking down and crying at the end of the episode in the arms of his girlfriend Starlight (Erin Moriarty), affected by the whole experience and then mourning over his father. The Boys Season 4 Censored by Prime Video India? Scenes of B*tthole, Orgy Either Blurred or CGI-ed for Desi Viewers.

Some have even picked up The Boys showrunner Erick Kripke's interview to Variety where he was asked if they went far with Hughie with the Tek-Cave scene right when he was down in the dumps. To which he had replied, "In the comics, there’s a great storyline where Hughie goes undercover disguised as a superhero. That was a story that Jack had always asked us to do. So part of it is, always be careful what you ask the writers for. Then we finally had this Webweaver character and the idea of Spider-Man going down to be kink tickled in the Batcave is just too good to pass up. I’m sorry, I just couldn’t leave that on the table.

Check Out Some Other Reactions Lambasting the Episode:

'Who Wrote These Episodes'

'What the f*ck is going on'

'Pretty Gross'

The Tek-Cave scene wasn't the most outrageous scene in the episode. Later, Homelander (Antony Starr) finds milk squirted on his face by Firecracker (Valorie Curry), and what's more, he likes what happens. Homelander is then shown suckling on her breasts like a baby while she coddles him. With two more episodes to go, we can't even imagine what more excessive scenes are awaiting us ahead in the sixth season.
