Not really on me when you say rape can exist in an utopia. That's the definition of glorifying rape

The reason why I mentioned it that you don't talk about the other forms of rape is because you are obviously turned on by it, as seen in your post about the fact that you'd prefer it if the female being raped is hot.

So discussing this context in a serious manner with you is out of the question.

I can enjoy fictional 'anime-rape' and still talk about serious rape as part of a serious story. If you want to make this about me, I'd tell you that rape-fantasies are the absolute #1 on any hentai-website, meaning it's neither rare nor fringe to enjoy that type of scenes. Ofc we live in a society that is still very puritan in terms of sex, so most people wouldn't publically admit to liking these doujins - since I want to live in a world where creatice freedom reigns supreme, however, I do.

But again, now we're talking about h-content meant to arouse. Any debate about rape in GS or other serious anime has completely different connotations. It's not there to arouse. Ofc, due to the character design and the shown face during the rape, GS's rape walks a thin line. Really, you could argue either way. My stance: actual rape victims experience orgasm, too, so it's fair to show a moaning face in GS. But since rape is such a rare occurrence in fictional media, it's unfortunate that the one time we get rape (which we should have more of, in relation to all the killing) it's kind of sexy in how it's presented.

Edit: Wow, you guys really keep giving me these new page-top-postings xD

It's not about freaking representation in numbers..

oh my god, I believe we should have more people eating bread in anime, because that happens far more often than people dying.

The rape scene in GS was there because it added another level of cruelity. It has been used as a plot device to get the viewer ready to *hate* goblins and to understand MCs motivation.

Again, name a reason what rape has to do with shounen or even most plot lines we see in anime that would justify the use more often.
Aside from the fact that sexual assault is already pretty common in anime, there is hardly a reason to go as far as rape, let alone to animate it.
Not to mention the target audience doesn't need/want it and all kinds of moral question pop up since this would certainly not be used in such a way as it is currently in GS.

It's bad enough that assault is already used as "fan-service" in many shows

Bread isn't a controversial theme (outside of Yakitate Japan!). Violence and crime are core themes of thousands of games and anime, yet somehow even the worst criminals seem to have signed a contract saying 'We wot rape, only murder'. :/

[KrayZ33]

Which is how you think it is portrayed in anime, but actually isn't

And it's also not "unrealistic" or whatever you want to call it, because not every murderer is interested in raping (sexxing) his/her victims.

Take note that crunchy has a lot of sexual and violent anime, but this is a first. Akame ga Kill comes to mind. Attack on Titan is also there, where people get eaten alive my monsters.

And of course there is Berserk.

[MFauli]

That's so ridiculous.

Episode 2.

[KrayZ33]

Another awesome episode.

The bard scene was a really, really nice touch.

And I loved that goblin that threw a rock on Goblin Slayr-

GS was like: *dong* "hugh..... go fuck yourself" *shoots arrow*

[NeoCybercoin]

Well it's easy to see why she is called Cowgirl.

[shinta|hikari]

Was she ever called that in the episode?

And I loved that goblin that threw a rock on Goblin Slayr-

GS was like: *dong* "hugh..... go fuck yourself" *shoots arrow* "7."

Fixed that for you.

[Buffalobiian]

Besides Cowgirl's knockers, I'm impressed with that impeccable customer service.

Nothing phases the receptionist. Not even goblins.

[NeoCybercoin]

She was named Cowgirl in the trailer where they shown all characters I believe.

[MFauli]

Um, I guess I'm the only one who found this episode terrible then?

The tone deafness between murder and rape on one side, and happy-go-lucky adventurerers was insulting my intelligence. WtF?! Everybody knows what goblins do, yet everyone was happy when talking about them. The quest giver-bitch especially irks me, repeatedly sending newbies on dangerous quests - even in games I have to go collect mushrooms before fighting my first jaggie.

Speaking of games: is or isn't this a vrmmorpg isekai-anime?! The quest board scene was TERRIBLE. "I neef a dragon, is there one with a dragon?!" :/ Look, random adventurerer, what are you gonna do when you meet a dragon? Considering how realistically this anime treats goblins, a giant lizard with impenetrable scales, sharp teeth and claws, fire breath and a whipping tail is a murder machine par excellence. Unless you're an experienced silver-rank group, I don't believe you can handle a dragon. BUT YOU'RE SO ENTHUSIASTIC, SO OFF YOU GO, CHAP! HAVE FUN! Yeah, have fun dying, right, quest giver-bitch? 🐧🙋

It's hard to stomach. I enjoyed the scenes where GS rought goblins. Seeing other people look down on him was interesting, too. But the rest ... ugh. And then we absolutely needed cow udders-girl, huh? Oh man ...

I'm afraid this anime might be a dudd. Expected more than non-sensical shit.

[shinta|hikari]

Off you go then.

[KrayZ33]

What is MFauli even talking about.




Quest giver girl is awesome, hoping for a romantic relationship with GS right there. Seems very likely too considering how she's happy whenever GS shows up and seems to think highly of him since he doesn't do the quest for payment, but for slaying goblins.

At least one sided affection seems within the realm of possibility.

You're one of those who thinks a girl loves you when she's nice to you, huh?

[Ryllharu]

She was named Cowgirl in the trailer where they shown all characters I believe.

The character pages name her as Ushikai Musume. She's literally, the cattleman's daughter. Like Maoyuu Maou Yuusha, none of the characters have real names, just referred to as their title.

[KrayZ33]

No, but I know I'm watching anime, you do not, huh?

That aside, when someone is genuinely happy about you walking into the room, there might be the possibility that this person likes you a whole lot.

Or do you need to see red cheeks to tell someone's thoughts and feelings?

That + a little tsundere behavior.

[KrayZ33]

Well, that's fair I guess.
