I have yet to drop it. I have hope. Alicization did somewhat pick up SAO but I feel like this season is gonna be really bad. I beg of them to exclude rape scenes. It’s not I’m offended. I just find them tiring and just fan service. If I wanna see tentacle rape, I’ll watch hentai and even still I’m not into that type of stuff. The villain is really predictable to be honest. He’s insane rapist character.

All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.

Hollywood doesn't shy away from rape and sexual assault so why should anime. If you don't like it fine. Don't watch. No need to overreact and troll the SAO forums with the haterade. Of course everyone still will unfortunately.

You guys do realize all this happen in virtual world and their real bodies are not damage or molested. But seriously though, why is the author so obsessed with rape and stuff like that?

I think it was both things, rape and torture.
It seems strange to me that the voice seems to enjoy it instead of suffering.
at minute 10:29 it is clear that a tentacle raped her.

Lmao, this coming from the community that unironically watches and defends shitty ecchi and heavy-"fanservice" shows that gets passed as "art". Not trying to defend SAO but y'all aren't going to say anything when shitshows like Irozuku Reviewers, Prison School, High School of the Dead and many more that relies heavily on underage high school girls with big-bouncing breasts, panty-shots and also sexual assault exist (intentional and unintentional)? Hell, you even have literal kids-- Oh..I mean "lolis" because there's clearly a difference --that's heavily sexualized but of course, no one bats an eye.

I hate these types of scenes too but how come I'm not seeing these types of criticisms against the shows that I just listed?

Also, if you're going to give me that argument "OhH, tHeY'Re jUsT dRaWiNgS" then don't even bother cuz I'm just going to ignore your comment.


Lolis aren’t always children, but I guess ignorance is bliss.
Also, it is just a drawing. You’re a little dense if you think anything more of it.

You can see in a scene later, whem they show Leafa's full body, that no tentacles are in that part of Leafa. And as someone who read the LN i can say there was indeed no rape. Here is just ypur dirty mind at work my friend.

Actually, I was also really disturbed. I love SAO from the bottom of my heart, watched countless times first series but WTF, really? Was it really necessary? It's so fucking tasteless when it doesn't contribute somehow to the plot (and it didn't in this case) Yeah, I can somehow imagine this was a trigger for Lilpilin but nevertheless it wasn't fun or entertaining or anything.

And I was actually shocked that it startled me. I watched tons of shit like anybody here but it just didn't feel right. It's my personal opinion. On the other side, maybe this is how I should feel like this, maybe this was author's plan.

I remember in first season when guys tried to rape this two appretiance of Kirito and Eugeo and I didn't feel like this. – yeah, I know how it sounds but you know what I mean...

This was 100% not the authors plan. The light novel was nowhere near the way the anime portrayed it.

Are you saying you did? Because last thing I checked, it cut away from the shot before it showed anything. I'm not saying you're wrong, but what i'm saying is that you couldn't see where it went with what they showed. Having read the LN I know there was no rape (As it would be completely useless to her) but you can't be claiming that's what it was when they never showed it.

Yeah. That's weird. Especialyl considering that there sometimes also is bloody stuff in this show. (Cutting off arms and stuff like that.) For rape you can at least enjoy a bit the fun while too much gore is disgusting from the visual point (aesthetics) already - and on top of that it hurts the victim much more.

But this is considered more "cool". I remember back then in my youth when teenagars on purpose searched for violent stuff that only was allowed for adults (vids or games) because they wanted to be cool by breaking the rules and it was considered manly to watch violend stuff.

Of course it happened for porn as well - but much less. (Nobody wanted to admit they were watching porn ha ha.)

i remember making a post on a forum from last season about all the sexual assault/rape related scenes and symbols in sao and how it was going to keep happening since i've read the LN and web novel and the author has a history of showing sexual assault in sao and only took out the most graphic one which was an actual rape scene from the web novel. he has changed a lot while writing sao and his writing reflects that. he's like a college student looking back at the cringy shit he used to post on facebook when he was in high school, the only difference is everyone is also looking at it, that's probably why he's writing sao progressive. most japanese writers think stuff like rape/sexaul assault are just edgy and hard fan service which is fcked up but thats a reflection of the society they grew up in

yes its ironic. doesn't like rape but you like ecchi stuff.

but let me tell you this, watching our favorite character get assault by some messed up guy is not a comforting sight. Cross ange for example, i have it hard at the last episode but at least i endure it. Seikon no qwaser, they went all out with it from the first episode so i expect everthing so i dont care about the character and enjoy the pleasure hahaha, but sao, they didnt have any of that in the first season, they develop the character properly(at least what i thought hahaha), made the audience like the character, and finally, sexually assault her in eps 24. that, is, uncomfortable.

i like ecchi such as to love ru, NGNL, the stupid one like valkryie drive and Seikon no qwaser, but raping my favorite character is not my thing. thats why i dont read beserk to hahaha. i red the chapter when she got raped and well, without any context and backstory i enjoyed it HAHAHA but im sure if i red it from the beginning i willl hate that. that's why probably im fine reading hentai with rape in it especialy when it went hardcore, cause i dont care about the context hahaha.

so in conclusion, with context and backstory it became uncomfortable but without any of them it became enjoyable, thats what i feel. fucked up i know, and im sure im not alone here hehe.

thats why i dropped sao. i know the character, i understand the character, and i like some of them. favorite character got assault is not a beautiful sight. plus i don't like the villain. it's too late to enjoy those sexually assaulted girls similar to hentai.

i like ecchi but when it's placed in a wrong time in my opinion, i dislike it.
yep its an opinion, cause some people hate the ecchi in NGNL but i like it because it's funny for me.

Nvm, my bad. He sounded like Kaji but was not Kaji. I looked at the credits, and it turns out the orc character dude was voiced by Enoki Junya. I think it was the scream that got me.

I think a fair argument you can make is that people are still not okay with it on something like a LA movie, but there, it will still feel more realistic and grounded, versus what an anime is supposed to be, so many just take it badly to suddenly seeing such heavy topic being handled like that, on an anime that outside that moment rarely, if ever deals into such heavy content.
People would be finer with it, if from the start, said anime gave a more mature feeling, gave them the impression that shit like this may happen, as being something believable to happen in such world...

Then again, you have Goblin Slayer, which got people mad... but Berserk is a better example, where such themes are treated with more respect and proper weight.

I was fine with stuff like this previously on SAO, so I should also be with this, but I wont know till I read these volumes in the LN, which I want to do before checking the anime 15-18 adaptation content.

Even in the WN, rape happened only once (to the Kouhais in Alicization) which was then changed to attempted rape in the LN. No, Kawahara isnt that fucked up to get all the heroines raped. People talk about shit they dont know, or just want to add fuel to the fire lol. Still, even that much attempted rape is unnecesary, hope he changes for the final arc.

Ikr, such immersion breaking for a tentacle rape on a seemingly serious plot.
All I can do is rolling my eyes. The tentacle rape is so pointless for the plot.

People in Mal gave HxEro and Peter Grill low rating despite they set up their tone to be ecchi and goofy from the get go (so all those dumb part and ecchi part perfectly fits), yet they rate SAO high with this immersion breaking tentacle rape that's completely out of tone?

That's why I never take Mal's score seriously.

The scene took its sweet time indeed... Wasn't really disturbed by it because well, we had some other scenes happening in the previous seasons. However, the 3 seconds that it was implying to go for her privates was totally not needed.

Most of the people who hate ecchi doesn't even like sex to begin with. If all rape scenes were replaced by decapitation scenes and Mortal Kombat levels of violence, they would be okay with it because, hey, it does not has sex, so it's good, right?

There's no legit criticism, it's just mockery because porn bad!Sure, there are exceptions, but they are just that: exceptions.

What is wrong with everyone lol? Yeah, it's pretty pointless and "ugh" but who tf cares that much. Just enjoy everything else. It has nothing to do with the story, which is why it's pointless, but this means you can just ignore it. I could understand why he did a rapey thing to asuna in the eilfheim arc, and I didn't think the alicization one was all bad but this is beyond all of them lmao.

The author has some obsession with crazy-ass antags. 1st arc - no problem. 2 - okayyyyyyy. 3 - Bruh. 4 - hell yeah. 5 - Ehhhhh. 6 - SERIOUSLY!

So, you think he could tone it down with pointless scenes like this lol. But hey, I guess he has a fetish and I can respect that. Though if he wanted to be true to his fetish he would carefully think about when it makes sense.

Anyways, yeah, it's very UGH and annoying but it wont bother me in a week lol.

I may not have watched SAO in its entirety, but I've seen thousands of hentais, enough to say that:
I. LIKE. RAPE. SCENES.

In the same way people create and like those Fatality compilations or Abby dying in The Last of Us Part II. I just love and create hentai, it's FUN and adventurous.

In fact, between Fatality compilations and rape compilations, I proudly prefer rape compilations. My opinion on rape porn can be best described in the form of this music:


And sure, I may hate guro and scat, and avoid anything that has those things, but when I do stumble accross one by accident, I just walk away rather than creating an entire thread just to cry about porn I don't like.

You want somehting more sex-positive? There's Manyuu Hikenchou, Shimoneta, and many, many doujinshis and fanfictions. If this isn't enough, you can just go there and write a sex-positive story yourself, it worked for me, so I guess it will work for you as well.
