It's funny, hanging around in the kink community has sub-defined 'humilation' for me. I cannot stand to watch all those 'comedies' out there that basically depend on the unwiling embarassment/humilation of a character for humor/effect or whatever. I often have to leave the room when that sort of stuff comes on.
I don't mind, so much the hero being judged because I figure she's going to go 'fucke off, I'm right' and get on with it. (since I pretty much do that myself when people try and judge me). I also didn't mind Capt. JH because the guy chose to do that himself (Jack didn't instigate it), so he knew the concequences/felt it was worth it. I think it some way, that was kinda the point of that part of the episode; how exhausting and de-humanizing it is to live a life in the closet and how good it feels to finally stop.
What I've ended up with is ... I can't *stand* when someone is publicly (or even privately) embarassed or humiliated against their will or 'accidentally' or, basically, without consent.
People who consent to it (even if they're not aware of the details) and enjoy it (or feel its worthwhile) - that's a whole different thing, to me. And potentially quite enjoyable.
