I love me some experimentation, I love novelty, but experimentation JUST BY ITSELF is not worth ANYTHING. It is only worth anything if the experiment TURNS OUT GOOD. It's a bonus on top, it's icing on the cake. You don't just eat icing without a cake and say "well, this is different from what I've used to. Therefore, 5 stars."

My mom read lots of fairy tales to me as a kid and I especially liked the melancholic and gruesome ones - and not out of a love of cruelty, either, it just 'rang true', basically. So I think Zeus-Anon is right, there is nothing inappropriate about having a god rape a mortal as a way to kick off the plot to a kids book series based on greek mythology, the punisher (nice freudian slip btw) just had a gut reaction of "ewwww, this is icky" because she - and yeah, it was a woman, you know it was - was conditioned into it.

Probably made up or really exaggerated. When Irish people are mean in a group setting I find its rarely that overt. They'll tend towards more snide comments and passively delivered jokes. And Ireland's a really neoliberal country, in a super commercial job like a Dublin bus tour you probably wouldn't get away with just bullying a customer.

There's one way it reads to me as possible, and that's if the bus driver was making a lot of tossed off jokes in general and a 4chan sperg took the ones directed at him personally, but nobody really thought it was crossing a line or anything. But if he leaves the bus early, the Irish or British people on board in particular might have done not so much a cheer, but an "aaaahhhhhh" sound of sarcastic sympathy that's common here when someone takes things too personally or is interpreted to be an oversensitive spoil-sport who's bringing the vibe down.
