Yeah, I literally did the same thing with that goblin anime
Sure, I know people get off to that stuff. I realize it's a kink. I know it's a shock factor.
I just don't want that to be the first thing I see when I want to sit down and just relax. Like bro, fuck the people that hype those animes up. If that's the only redeeming quality of that show, it's a fucking shit tier show
If that's the only redeeming quality of that show, it's a fucking shit tier show
That scene is definitely not the "only redeeming quality" of goblin slayer and there are plenty of shows that have on screen rape scenes in the west as well, but I can't deny that if you go over to r/goblinslayer, it's an absolutely depraved place.
Mind you I get the shock value behind it, but the portrayal is still excessive and intentionally weirdly sexualized.
Have you read the side story manga? If not i wholly recommend it, i'd say thay surpasses the main series in quality. It's about goblinslayers journey from a low rank adventure to a high rank adventure. You get to see him gain and accumulate the goblin killing wisdom that you later see in the series.
The action is good, it's like if Quentin Tarantino made an anime
The main thing is whether or not the city will corrupt Rock or not and how Revy reacts to that. The side characters fulfil their roles well in that fact as well.
Apart from the rapey first episode dandadan really is a banger. It's a shame most manga authors can't seem to stop themselves from getting all horned up when they are writing about 14 year old girls.

You mean like GoT? Also how come we can have have killing on screen potrayed as something dark and grim, but not rape? People need to realise both are very real, very bad, and can happen when fucky people gets their way.
I was just commenting to my roommate how season 2 feels better than season 1 because less naked/half-naked minors and then BAM... Jiji with nothing on.
Could be worse, though. I could be watching something made by Disney.
Nah I’m with OP, there’re a lot of series that love to throw it around all Willy-nilly, and it’s outright horrendous. Makes me wonder if having a rape fetish is a requirement to make manga/anime.
I haven’t seen Berserk but it’s supposed to immediately paint an image of how goblin slayer sees goblins and how evil they really are in a world that doesn’t take them seriously.
Then it's more or less like Berserk, in Berserk it is used as a resource to show aspects of characters, make the plot flow or to show how horrible the world is.
It is a part of the story. One of the things the goblins do is kidnap women to reproduce. I haven't read it all but there seems to be a hidden layer related to the color of the moon.
When goblins attack a town they kill the men and kidnap the women, take them to their lair and breed them until they die.
Yes, sure. As the other poster said, female goblins don't exist in GS so if he changed that it would work without rape. He could have given Goblins another motivation.
Yah, But the females goblins do exist in GS but are extremely extremely rare, I still remember a scene where GS sees a female kid goblin and immediately kills the kid on sight without a second thought. (I think I saw it in a manga panel, its been a year or 2 so don't remember exactly)
You actually made me look but google says that there are no female goblins. Still, it wouldn't make a difference. It's an important part of the story, if there are not enough females to sustain the population, goblins would still go for females of other species to survice.
maybe a fan manga or something, don't really remember sorry, I just remember that GS killing the kid while priestess thought he won't do it.
sorry if I wasted your time searching for it mate, wasn't my intention.
and yah I completely agree with you, its not sustainable ecology anyway whether female goblins are rare or not, they will go for humans for sufficiency.
Even if it's apart of the story, they don't need to portray it, it could be part of the lore that gets told to the audience. The content is 100% the choice of the author.
that's the whole point to the story, the story demands you hate goblins, and there's nothing more vile than rape to make the point that goblins are completely iredeemable.
Rape is one of the worst things we, as humans, can think of. Debatably it might even be worse than murder because the victim then lives on with the mental trauma.
As a result, rape is the perfect tool to use in a story for completely irredeemably evil monsters terrorising humanity.
The whole point of Goblin Slayer is that most adventurers don’t even think of goblins as a threat and ignore them to focus on the big bad demon lord, but in reality these tiny creatures are actually worse because of the heinous nature of their attacks.
Goblins in Goblin Slayer are literally incapable of sustain themselves biologically without doing that because there are literally no female Goblin. The author really wanted to nailed the point
Goblins are also known to murder, eat, and torture people depending on the depiction (with the authors 'revelling' in that as well), but rape is too fucked up?
There are plenty of manga and anime which absolutely revel in violence and dwell on it, and they definitely do bring up questions about the authors' mental state, and if their pc's should be searched.
A lot of this genre abd its authors really should be on a watchlist.
The way it's shown in anime and manga usually is. Rape scenes in anime and manga are often very pornographic, which is pretty fucked up. In berserk you can easily tell which ones are core plot elements that are treated with some degree of importance and others which are just creepy porn elements.
The point of it is to irredeemably demonize the goblins and make it morally correct to remorselessly kill all goblins on sight. Is it uncomfortable? Absolutely. But people really want to dog on Goblin Slayer wayyyy too often when there are infinitely more reasonable stories to latch onto.
It’s absolutely reasonable to not like GS for it, but using the scene as some kind of callout is a self-report more than anything.
Homeslice, you just reinvented zombies. And that STILL leaves room for pity.
It takes a truly heinous act to become so far hated that any reasonable person would be positively excited to see them die to get the point across. So there is no good “alternative” for the author.
I think you are lost. You might want to try some place like Tumblr, or perhaps even certain sects of Twitter. If you are not interested in having to relocate to a different platform, that is also fine, you may try other spaces within Reddit such as r/GamingCircleJerk or r/pics - but you cannot stay here. Goodbye!
You do understand the natural variance in preference around how layered or complex a story is?
And that the admittance that there would be room for doubt if it were a sickness destroys your point because it would then be a considerably less clear-cut example of “kill on sight” for Crime: Being a live?
I’m not saying it’s the best thing in the world to have them be rape goblins, but it’s uniquely, cross-culturally, and instantly effective at demonizing them to the most murderous extremes. And that’s what the author wanted. A narrative treadmill of infinite violence upon which write a story.
It’s no longer the same narrative if the infinite culling of goblins can be questioned.

For an incurable, transmittable disease that makes one erratic and violent? And "one" here is another reviled species, where a lot if us in reality often treat those of our own species as "not people" and trivialise violence against them?
I'm not sure if you're even trying to be serious, or are you just being contrarian for the hell of it. The latter I can at least understand.
I'm sure in thr second episode of Kill La Kill Ryuko is asleep at Mako's house, and Mako's dad finds Ryuko asleep and gets on top of her and starts humping her. The hyperactive pacing of the anime already wasn't my cup of tea, but I stopped watching then.
Isekai and Fantasy is rife with it. Romcoms and slice of life not so much. But if you go to r/manga pretty much half of the things posted there are just rape.
I've genuinely never seen rape in anime not being treated as a horrible thing, from the very few times i've seen it at all (only remember it from beserk where it completely broke 2 characters down and goblin slayer where its used to demonstrate how horrific the goblins can be and justify the protagonist's vendetta against them).
OP probably watched Goblin Slayer or Redo of Healer, and then had a genuinely reasonable reaction to it. Honestly, OP should watch Toradora or Kisekoi instead. Romcoms are the best anime.
Not necessarily rape, but like everyone else, I have heard great things about Dragon Ball. Since everyone likes it, there must be something different about it, right? Wrong. A few episodes in, though, and Goku has already tried to peek under Bulma's skirt and exposed himself several times. Never change Japan.
Goku is a sheltered child who knows nothing of the world at that point though, he was mostly acting confused because he wondered why Bulma was different compared to him.
Although all the scenes with Master Roshi being perverted is fair game, hate that fucker.
I usually avoid the ones with such material if I know about it in advance redo healer being an exception because I was told it had a compelling story aside
While actual rape scenes are rare outside of porn or softcore stuff like Redo of Healer, there is a worrying amount of girls being threatened with it just for shock value or as a cheap way to make a villain look worse. This sucks when you're trying to watch anime with someone that may have experienced this things for real.
Damn, I hope OP never dared to watch Game of Thrones then, or Law & Order SVU, or The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, or A Clockwork Orange, or Braveheart.
It’s almost as though it’s being used as a story beat that’s supposed to be shocking and for adults?
Why is it that anime is always singled out for plot devices that are accepted and used in every other kind of media worldwide?
You can't deny there is a ridiculous amount of weird shit in anime. I stopped watching them because there were frequent perv arcs and panty raid crap. OP has valid criticism. I love anime but ffs can we please have less depravity treated as if it's normal
Well, there are at least two such guides, although one is from no later than 2004, another one was updated last time in 2022, both are in Russian. I can give the links, of course, if you want.
The only show im fine with this kind of thing is Goblin Slayer. Cause it sets up How awful Goblins are to the point where even the audience can get some kind of satisfaction out of watching the goblins die.
This is true every single anime is like this with no exceptions. Its why evil messed up freaks like me watch the most disturbing shows like pokemon and spy family
Good weapon to use when someone says Anime is for kids and I tell them to let their five-year-old watch Ninja Scroll where there is a brutal UNCONSENTUAL COMMONALITIES within the first 10 minutes.

Hoplite1111@reddit
Many such cases
Dr_Brotatous@reddit
I usually avoid the ones with such material if I know about it in advance redo healer being an exception because I was told it had a compelling story aside
JustWolfram@reddit
While actual rape scenes are rare outside of porn or softcore stuff like Redo of Healer, there is a worrying amount of girls being threatened with it just for shock value or as a cheap way to make a villain look worse. This sucks when you're trying to watch anime with someone that may have experienced this things for real.

Baby's first piece of problematic media
Mr_Chr15topher@reddit
Damn, I hope OP never dared to watch Game of Thrones then, or Law & Order SVU, or The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, or A Clockwork Orange, or Braveheart.
It’s almost as though it’s being used as a story beat that’s supposed to be shocking and for adults?
Why is it that anime is always singled out for plot devices that are accepted and used in every other kind of media worldwide?
_sephylon_@reddit
People single out anime for being japanese cartoons and then make up socially acceptable reasons to do so
STMIonReddit@reddit
thats like assuming all live action shows are about glorifying serial killers because i watched dahmer
Orphano_the_Savior@reddit
You can't deny there is a ridiculous amount of weird shit in anime. I stopped watching them because there were frequent perv arcs and panty raid crap. OP has valid criticism. I love anime but ffs can we please have less depravity treated as if it's normal
That1DvaMainYT@reddit
There has to be like a "beginner's guide to anime" somewhere, where people can find shows to ease into the groove of things with.
On another note, this type of generalization makes me audibly cringe
Fanrail@reddit
Well, there are at least two such guides, although one is from no later than 2004, another one was updated last time in 2022, both are in Russian. I can give the links, of course, if you want.
F-Lambda@reddit
why not just drop them here?
Fanrail@reddit
Yes, I can drop them here. I was asking if I should.
Skafandra206@reddit
Thank god you didn't watch Cuties
Laxhoop2525@reddit
What anime is anon watching? What anime are you all watching that you agree with anon??
Akane_Tsurugi@reddit
It's the same for Game of Thrones and everyone was watching this shit
BlackestFlame@reddit
They can separate fiction from reality
Low-Complex-5168@reddit
Inaccurate, anon would've realized absolute PEAK was on the screen
PURPLEisMYgender@reddit
The only show im fine with this kind of thing is Goblin Slayer. Cause it sets up How awful Goblins are to the point where even the audience can get some kind of satisfaction out of watching the goblins die.
PeachesGuy@reddit
I hated when it happened when I watched Doraemon for the first time
RogerDCuck@reddit (OP)
Honest reaction to see Doraemon using gadgets to snoop on Shizuka bathing.
zaque_wann@reddit
Doraemon doesn't do that, that's Nobita. Doraemon actively don't like his gadgets used for that.
RogerDCuck@reddit (OP)
Istg I have seen an episode where Nobita catches Doraemon doing exactly that
Berkuts_Lance_Plus@reddit
Why are you censoring greentext?
Aromatic_Oil9698@reddit
/a/ is the only board that still does these public bans and I think it's detrimental that more posters aren't shamed publicly like that anymore.
Dioo0o0@reddit
This is true every single anime is like this with no exceptions. Its why evil messed up freaks like me watch the most disturbing shows like pokemon and spy family
bronzewillis@reddit
Anon sees bad guys doing bad things
Alex_13249@reddit
I personally even look away during many fanservice scenes.
RogerDCuck@reddit (OP)
The second hand embarrassment is too much to handle
SmoothPimp85@reddit
So, Anon doesn't like anime at all.
Anzire@reddit
Why is anon watching that kind of anime?
Avorius@reddit
>frogposter banned
good
Western-Ad-9669@reddit
When the Anime thats explicitly advertised as the “Murder Rape Show” has Murder and Rape in it.
LemonFlavoredMelon@reddit
Good weapon to use when someone says Anime is for kids and I tell them to let their five-year-old watch Ninja Scroll where there is a brutal UNCONSENTUAL COMMONALITIES within the first 10 minutes.
No-Play2726@reddit
Haven't watched that much anime but the ones I have contained zero rape.
colthesecond@reddit
Did people in this thread never see a show with a rape scene?
Tenko-of-Mori@reddit
MODS = GODS

OP is gay, but is not fake but actually right
