Most of the time when I drop anime is if I get bored with it or if I start it and then forget about it until years later but I’m too uninterested to finish.
I’ve seen some disturbing anime, and I have respect for those creators for having the bravery to depict some things with no holding back. Yeah there’s Goblin Slayer, but Berserk and a Perfect Blue have rape scenes that I think are far more disturbing and graphic than Goblin Slayer (and also have a point to them, like character development)
If you’re sensitive and uncomfortable with rape scenes, I understand, that’s a perfectly valid reason to stop watching something. Just for me, I’ve seen a lil worse and won’t drop an anime for that reason. Sometimes you just gotta show the darker, realer side of humanity.

Forget dropping, I don't even watch anime that have lolicon or shotacon etc... I don't mind them as characters but I find shows that are exclusively lolicon or shotacon which contain pretty unfunny, inappropriate, and lewd jokes absolutely disgusting.

Again, if it's just the normal, run-of-the-mill loli joke, I don't mind it and actually find it funny most of the time. It's shows that just lewd the hell out of them that I have a problem with.

I don't think I've dropped any anime for moral reasons. Yet.

I would probably drop anything that is focused around shotacon/lolicon. Jokes about it don't really bother me (depending on how far the joke goes, of course), but I just don't think I could handle an entire anime centered around someone being attracted to young girls/boys. Even though it's fiction, I just find it unnecessary and uncomfortable.

I've dropped a lot of anime but I don't recall ever dropping one because of clashing morals. I'm pretty sure anime itself has desensitized me to anything it could possibly do to morally trigger me at this point.

The only anime I'd drop strictly for moral reasons would be straight up pedo bait shows because they're disgusting. I'm also probably not going to stick around very long if there's prolonged torture scenes.

I don't recall dropping shows for some morality nonsense. If anything most of the time (100% to be exact) I dropped an anime when it breaks my suspension of disbelief, wasn't entertaining, some elements of storytelling were distasteful for me or when the show ends up insulting my intelligences completely.

Since it's all fiction, I can prevent my sense of morality from getting in the way.

I don't recall dropping anything for moral reasons other than if they became boring or I just don't think I would ever finish them. And anything that I know I won't like, I just stay away from. Some anime I never even added that I may have tried. I do however try to finish most series that I watch even if something happened that I didn't like which is mostly death of characters, but if it's too much for me I will stop watching it.

Lately I tend to go for the more happy fluffy anime or ones that I know where no one dies.

Yes, me too. I dropped goblin slayer just because of the rape scene. I think rape scene on goblin slayer is nonsense.

Another, this one is dropped because it has the same elements about raping. I don't know exactly but i read some spoiler somewhere.

Well Goblin Slayer showing true element of everyone's dreamed fantasy dungeons :) I agree it is sometimes too much for watching (I had also some problem with my heart to see it) but its only dungeon anime where not everyone who starts in dungeon can kill all enemies without problem :)

Fate/Zero: Caster kills children, in horrific manners no less. It feels both excessive and unnecessary (as said children are not involved in the war, just some bystanders got mixed up). At least the raped girls in Goblin Slayer put up a heroic fight. As a man, I am displeased seeing males killing kids, as child-harming tendencies outside family are generally seen in female in my culture. There is also the reason that all children killed on-screen are boys, which I wasn't ready for compared to girls (I felt extremely uncomfortable watching Madoka Magica, but I got through it in the end).

The point of Caster's character is precisely that he resents the fact that God does not exist or that He does exist but is apathetic to the injustice of the world. He did all those horrible things to spite his God, "are You still gonna allow all that?"

I do not in principle object criticising a fictional work in moral or political terms, but first you will have to understand the work itself. It would be ludicrous if someone declares he dropped after a few pages of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment saying the existentialist classic is morally repugnant as the main character gratuitously murdered his landlady just because he could.

A lot of anime plays with cruelty only for shock value, which is bad taste (though I wouldn't say it's necessarily morally repugnant), so it's understandable that excessive cruelty is warning sign for a mindless, superficial gore porn, but it's also intellectually coward or lazy to turn your eyes away from every cruelty in art without ever trying to figure out its meaning.


That makes me hate him even more. I am no Catholic, but I believe in God. How dare the show try to deny the existence of God even though there are people with magic running around? That's just hipocrite.

I've never dropped anything due to morality reasons and I'd like to believe that would never be the case in the future. Though I guess if something just becomes too unbearably gory I guess i might drop a show for that, but a lot of times overly gory stuff tends to be really cheesey and it would have just been dropped for the reason of being bad anyway. lol

Bluebeard killed his wives before King Henry 8th made it cool doing so. This is what the folk tale tells us. The French guy that inspired him murdered some children. But why does the anime completely ignore certain aspects of the true characters of some of the Servants but portray Bluebeard so close to what he was in history? The only accurate portrayal of a historical character is also the most degenerate, most disgusting. King Arthur was a jealous and somewhat insane man during the later part of his reign.

That only means your uncritical religious belief prevented you from engaging with a genuine philosophical question that the show raises. Philosophers have been asking why evils are allowed to exist if there's indeed a benevolent god. Even devout Christians like Aquinas and Leibniz have tried to answer this question. It's called the problem of evil and has been taken seriously by theologians for centuries. At least do a wiki research: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_evil

I have nothing against your faith, I simply think it's unfair to Fate/Zero if you judge it as immoral. It asks critical questions that you would rather never have been asked about. It explores the perspective of the people you don't want to care about. It's OK. It's not my job to teach any one to be open-minded. But it's just your personal preference. You dropped F/Z because you don't like its challenging subject matter, not because it's an immoral show.

I don't tend to drop stuff for moral reasons. I will not do anything that does against my own morals in normal circumstances, but will definitely tolerate characters in my entertainment doing if it does convey a message.

Specifically when it comes to torture and murder, I'm always chill with it being portrayed. Of course it'll be better for characters I'm a show to have motive or a background story that somewhat makes it sensible for them to have some sadism or indifference to the lives of others


Sometimes there's also insinuation of a certain ideal, like nationalism, but I really don't care either. Having some nationalism is fine, and even good. We really shouldn't be confusing nationalism with the brainwashed nationalism that some Japanese had during WW2. Yeah people died back then, heck the Japanese were rounding up people of my ethnicity and shooting them in beaches, but get over it. I'll call anyone out for they do or believe, not what their ancestors did or believed.
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

Goblin Slayer seems to be getting tons of press, although obviously not the good kind. The anime itself didn't really pique my interest, and after reading the stuff surrounding it, the anime is definitely not for me.

To answer the thread's question: a long time ago, I dropped Bakuman after the first few episodes due to the overall treatment of it's female characters. Frankly, I don't think I'll ever support the mangaka's after they created such a sexist series.

It's not a romance show but it's full of love from one side ( the little girl obsessed with her brother )

She is even jealous because other girls around sora have good body shape and big breast .
The girl was such a good character especially because she is very smart but they ruined it with that obsession , until you realise that probably the reason she is living for is her brother

Well, this isn't exactly a trope that has no basis in reality. Millions of girls worry about, or even obsess over, the size of their breasts.

as a general note i don't watch works that contain pointless rape, and when i say pointless i mean when it's forced on a plot just for shock value or sadistic appeal. rape as a character development tool is also something i hate and tend to give up on watching when i recognize it. i don't rule it out completely because i think there are many different ways to portray extreme violence and there are stories where it fits, but tbh i'm kind of an escapist when it comes to works of fiction and i rather steer clear of subjects that distress me or hurt me in real life, and it's already a violent world full of rapists outside, so i prefer to stay in a bubble where at least in fiction i won't be upset about it. incest is also a no for me, usually. i don't really care about incest as a general rule because like. fuck whoever you want lol it's none of my business, but i have an older brother and two little sisters so to me it's just. yikes. you know. but then i don't think it counts as a moral reason because it's not passing judgement, i guess, it's just not my cup of tea lol

So much hypocrites, if you cant seperate reality and fiction you have a serious problem and need help. Even movies or series like Game of Thrones had graphic scenes and they are still loved by many people because they can seperate reality and fiction.

i think the idea that it's "mixing fiction and reality" is the problem here; it's not about confusing them, but it's about the fact that you watch fiction IN REALITY. so if a fictional subject is uncomfortable, triggering, upsetting or disgusting, the real person watching it from the real world with real perspectives and memories and values will respond to it. i don't really think anybody gets upset about pedophilia or torture because they cannot differentiate reality from drawings moving on a screen lmao

Well, Goblin Slayer is going to come up, since personally my philosophy is that using rape as a cheap shock method, especially so early on, should not be condoned.

More controversial one, I dropped Shimoneta when I realized it was trying to make me laugh at girl on guy rape. It's less explicit, but when I realized that was what it was, I decided I did not want to continue.

Yes, I'm probably sounding like a prude, just my personal thoughts
