Quote:"just threatening to castrate him like when she was in Jr. Rodeo still would have been funny."
How on earth is that funny? That's horrifying, and I would say that even if Howard wasn't my favorite character. I'd say that even if the character in question was one I disliked.
Would it be funny to joke about mutilating a female character's labia or ovaries? It's the exact same thing. Castration literally means surgically removing the testes.
Is "I'll cut off your clitoris" funny? No? Would kicking a female character in the vulva be funny? No.
That's not "feisty" or "sassy", it's horrifying, and so is breaking someone's nose and giving them two black eyes just for being slightly annoying.
I think I'm done here.
