How do you feel about male rape being played for laughs in many anime?

Personally I hate when some anime has a rape scene where the victim is a male and the scene gets played for laughs.

If the victim is a female character, we're supposed to feel sorry for her and hate the rapist's guts. But if the victim is a male we're either supposed to laugh or think "damn, lucky bastard!" (only if the rapist is female, if they're male then it's just played for laughs).

This double standard always bothered me. I don't mind when stuff like this happens in hentai, but in normal stories it pisses me off.

All clear you may participate in this... oh wait better don't.

No double standards for me. I equally admire it when they suffer. But the females especially.

Not sure what anime you're watching, since I find it's more often when the victim is female it's no big deal or it's a sign of extreme love. Which is equally disgusting.

I am fine with rape of any species or gender being played for laughs when done right.

Also, please point me to anime where the male MC gets raped, I have yet to come across one that has yet aired.

Is it though? I've never seen an actual rape scene that was ever played for laughs, male or female. Maybe you're just watching bad anime.

Honestly, it's just too trivial for me so I have nothing in particular to feel about it. I think its fine as it is to be made laughable, its an anime thingy. Save your complaints if there's a reboot of Games of Thrones and make a joke like that.

He most definitely does. So far to my knowledge no one seriously addressed the possibility to be violated by some stupid thot. Only the other way around. Everything else... is just regrettable.

if any of these scenes were reversed
from girl or girls doing it to a boy
to boy or boys doing it to a girl
there would be outrage but yeah i really don't really care about these type of scenes myself so won't try to act as morally superior.

ive never seen male rape played for laughs in any of the anime ive watched, if anything i can think of an anime, that being Banana Fish which portrays the seriousness of male rape and its after effects (ptsd)

Normally male rape is played for laughs in western media, which i find incredibly disgusting

It depends on the anime because these are all portrayed as joke or comic relief. The other way cannot be shown as a joke or comic relief because women are physically weak and thus more vulnerable than men as much as it IRL.

But there are serious ones as well (although few, and I am not referring to Yaoi). And when they are shown as serious ones, they cut deep, or at least they should, in the conscience of a normal human being at least irrespective of the victim being male or female.

Anyways, not a topic I really want to be part of discussion more than I have just said.

Situations when men get raped are laughed at even in real life. I remember that story of a burglar breaking in the store and the female clerk knocked him out and then raped him for several days. The story was covered by all russian federal tv channels like some kind of comedy sketch.
So... I'm not even surprised it's portrayed like that in fiction.

Sadly, male rape is laughed at and not taken seriously in western media and in real life too, it's not a specific anime thing. It's gross.

If it's meant to be a gag then I don't see anything wrong with it. If our world was full of rainbow and sunshine then double standards wouldn't exist. But sadly..

I mean just look at all the times when females would grope other females yet it's always just passed as a gag. Yet if guys started to grope other dudes balls in the same affection as females do to other female breasts then there'd be a problem right?

Also, I wouldn't say male rape turned into a gag is a common thing. There are plenty of anime such as rainbow that take male rape seriously

Sometimes it's uncomfortable and sometimes it's...kinda hot. :/

yes I know I'm trash for saying that. xD

Once I did find it pretty funny though; just with how it was written.
There's a scene in one of my favorite OVAs where a girl gives the MC a screwdriver (yes, the drink) so he passes out and she's all ready to have her way with him..right?



xD

That was funny shit...but mostly for the idea of 'wannabe-rapist doesn't know how sex works' and for the script. ALL DUBBED btw. Ah I miss ADV.

To be honest, i didn't really see much rape male or otherwise in the anime i watched, so i was somewhat indifferent to rape portrayals in general since they didn't affect me, but, now it's completely different, i hate any and all rape forms, male and female, with a burning passion and will absolutely avoid anime that has rape, ever since i witnessed with my own eyes one of my favorite characters being raped in two different instances in fanart(one was a horrific tentacle rape too!) made by those damned fujoushi's!!!! >:(

Lol that Cross Ange scene is the third one. This is all in good fun. It’s Ecchi! There is far worse than these little teases.

Not being funny but there is a whole bunch of stuff that should have offended you before you got anywhere near to that scene. If you didn’t already drop the anime before that scene then I think it is safe to say that you enjoyed the show.

In anime/manga that isn't hentai (rape is for those into non consent play) I don't really see this that common or it really played for laughs. In society I agree people condemn sexist stereotypes but still will often apply them to men.

One of the biggest is this image that men can't be victimized in any sexual way or want it. That's more a societal issue than anything not something I have seen often in anime/manga at all.

The 2nd is the biggest wtf and from that point on I just scrolled through to avoid losing hope in humanity for the 10000th time. That's plain awful "humor".
So that's why I could barely recall that this trope even exist, they mostly exist in harem stuff.

Those are comedies. In harem shows everything from sexual harrasment to incest is made into a joke. I don't see why you are expecting a solemn reflection on male/female rape in shows that take nothing seriously.

If it advances the story or characters then I don't really care.

A guy getting raped (actual rape with penetration) basically only happens in hentai anyway. The only non-hentai example I can recall is in Speed Grapher.

Oh yeah, I know. Women definitely are attacked more often and many bad things can result from it such as pregnancy. I’m just saying not a lot of people take male rape very seriously because often times people tend to say “oh he’s lucky, bet he liked it” when most of the time it couldn’t be farther from the truth. I just want justice for all rape victims yknow, it’s a shitty thing

It should be treated with the same levels of sensitivity that it would have been had it been the other way around, but unlike with women, there's always a larger proportion of men out there that seem to find it more acceptable because the guy should somehow be more grateful for the attention.

For example, when you see an article on social media about a moderately attractive female teacher thats sexually abused one of her male students, there's always a smattering of men that will say "I wish those teachers were around when I was at school."
