| It's hard for me to be offended by anything nowadays, let alone anime. |

| I like when an anime doesn't pull any punches. If you get offended by a fictional show then that's on you. Don't ruin the experience for others. Anime reviews are filled with pseudo intellectuals that think there opinions means something. |
| Not really but i am offended that you spell "offended'' and ''forget'' like that. |

| how does one even get offended by fiction? I mean there is bunch of shit I hate in real life. Few of them I hate in fiction as well, but it rather just makes me angry, depressed, sad or frustrated. Depending on scene/character/anime or what so ever. But that is simply emotion range whilst consuming any sort of information that comes to brain. Have actually "felt offended?", No. That sounds just stupid... I mean it's like imagine being a large guy and someone in the anime says "hey fatty" and then suddenly feel offended in real life? That is just stupid. (a bit lame example, but point remains.) |

ToTheSky said: I found the scene pretty horrific and graphic,was a total turn off. If the first episode sets the tone,then I don't see much substance other then female rape fodder and let's be AoT D&D style. You have to build up and earn that carnage, not dump it on the viewer in the first episode just to show how "dark" the show is. Cheapest thrills at the expanse of horrific acts, that's just lazy and tasteless. I've seen Berserk TV and the OVAs, their use of rape wasn't used just to drive the tone of the series,it has profound affects on the characters, same goes for GoT. Was a pretty dumb idea to release the first episode with such distaste for mature writing, so I can understand the backlash. Not a great way to grab new viewers. Despite my dislike of something, I'll never tell anyone what they should watch, nor do I listen to those telling me. Though I do find the lack of decency when discussing such topics disconcering, seeing rape treated as shade fodder "grow up" or just plain crude "I have the weirdest boner"... instead of disturbing nature of the act and the reality of trauma towards its victim. It's like being an empty shell is somehow a form of pride now, which I don't understand. I'm sure some people will disagree and think I'm being too sensitive but it's not like I can't flip it and say you're just sociopathic. I won't stop you though. =) You are definitely being too sensitive. It's ok for episode 1 of Attack on Titan to show people being ripped apart and eaten alive but Goblin Slayer's five second rape scene is TOTALLY NOT OK? Why? |

| Nope, because I would just forget an anime that I didn't enjoy anyway |
 |
| If people want to branch off to different genres that they might be uncomfortable with, that's fine. Getting offended by anime though? Topkek. |
 |
| Admittedly, I haven't watched Goblin Slayer, but I still need to know. Is there something specific about rape that makes it unsuitable to be represented in art? I get that it makes some people uncomfortable. I'm sure mutilation and other delicate material might make it hard to watch, for some. But that's on them. I even heard that Crunchyroll threw a big warning sign right at the start of the episode, to be 100% sure that impressionable people wouldn't get caught by surprise. So what, exactly, is the problem here? As for your specific topic... no. Nothing is immune from criticism, and if people want to step out of their comfort zones, but end up not liking it, they are free to voice their opinions. That said, when that opinion can't go beyond "it has rape", it's pretty much the equivalent of a steaming pile of mountain goat diarrhea. |
ToTheSky said: Because the more then 5 second rape scene, turned rape into a tool of cheap thrill and showed no respect for it's true horror. Rape is such an unnatural disturbing element not be glorified by a perverse community who doesn't even deny they masturbate to rape hentai. So yeah, that's part of why Its not ok..TO ME. I feel like trash watching it..sorry. About violence.. it's a natural thing. There's varying degrees of it and yes, it can be too graphic at times, so it's up to the viewers. I don't know why you want rape to be as common place tho. There's other tools to show a harsh reality without praying on sexual proclivities. None of this matters anyway, cause in a week or two no one will care. Unless people find something else distastful. Wish I prolly won't hear about cause it's off my radar now. Ok let me get this straight. "Violence is natural" but "Rape is unnatural". Really? What? You know that second statement is untrue..dont you? When I mentioned the violence in Attack on Titan's first episode it's not simply "punching the bad guys" violence, it's "innocent people being eaten alive" violence. It's ok for AoT to depict what the Titans do and give the viewer a reason to hate them but it's not ok for Goblin Slayer to show what it's monsters do and why we should hate them? Rape in GS wasn't used for a cheap thrill. It was used to set the stakes and appeal to the natural protective impulses of it's target audience: men. And we will keep watching week after week to see the hero protect precious little Priestess Girl and Elf Archer and all of the cute anime girls in the Goblin Slayer world from those disgusting monsters. |

frodak17 said: Manolas said: It's getting annoying how people decide to rant about how Goblin Slayer is rape porn. Ffs, it isn't kiddy shows. You find it in Berserk too, why I wonder, maybe cause both shows are dark and rated 17+ possibly? Common sense is needed. I'd say that people are lacking in any sense at all. Page 94 of the Asian Horror Encyclopedia talks about goblins in Japanese folklore as being known for "theft, raping women, and eating human livers." Wouldn't a show about goblins contain some of these elements? Goblins are part of European folklore, and Goblin Slayer is a story inspired by western fantasy tropes so most likely they're suppose to be similar to those. It either was creature that's name was translated as goblin or it was similar enough to European goblin mythology, like vampires exist in many cultures but have different names. Also kappas are known for raping women and eating humans but you rarely see that in anime. |
