Okay ive seen a couple of animes and it seem that if the male gets on top of her and its unwanted the they get caught NOTHING HAPPENS.

Heres an example, Maid Sama

The council leader of the rich school goes at her (RAPE) and she struggles, Usui rescues her and they just walk out...WHAT...THATS ATTEMPTED RAPE!?

Anyway that brings me to the end of my rant. Hahaha. Any opinions on this or other examples?

Being raped is shameful in Japan. This is backwards compared to western perceptions of rape.

It's different. Not really "okay".

Wait, I don't get it, are you saying that the perception in the West is that rape is NOT shameful?

Also, we're talking about anime right? So, if something illogical happens, it's the fault of the writing within the anime/manga/source.

Its okay as long as they yell surprise...

In all honesty there are like less then 10 male on female (attempted) rape in all of anime and pretty much every ecchi harem anime has at least 1 attempted female rapes man. But you know it doesnt count when the females do it cause all men like sex and they just act like they dont want it in anime...
Damn thoose double standards...

What I am trying to say is stop complaining about it its not a big deal.

I don't really like how rape is portayed in some anime. Like something that is never punished.
That the person prefer to be raped day by day than being exposed by a stupid blackmail photo.
Very unrealistic imo.

I thought the OP was asking if Rape is okay in the context of people looking the other way of the rapist.

Although if we are talking of rape as a plot device....then I view it as killing off a character.

Rape is wrong. It's just that anime doesn't handle it well.
It's usually just a cheap plot device about getting NTR'd. Like in sao...

I meant for the victim. And not in a story context.

In a story context, rape is very hard to write well, and I wouldn't suggest most people even try it.

From my experience this. Srsly though if its used properly why not? It's just that happens in RL and there are some fucked up ppl so why would it not be okay to do in fiction?

Yeah, pretty much. If it's used with tact and for a point, then sure, why not. If it's used for reasons of EVILNESS or DRAMA or something, then eh...

Though there are victims in western countries, who are too ashamed to report as well.

Aye, there are, it's a prevailing problem in the world.

rape is featured in two of my favorite anime. and in each instance it is treated appropriately within the context of the series/movie.

rape happens and thats a fact. theres no reason it shouldn't be represented in anime. but it should never be for the purpose of gratiuitous fan service-ish type purposes

In anime it's okay if it furthers the story or character development.

In hentai, no, it never is okay. Porn should be enjoyable to watch and rape isn't.

If it's treated maturely and has a reason for being there, I'm not opposed to it.
If it's just to drive in how 'dark' a show is and create unnecessary drama that the story could do without (i.e Mirai Nikki) absolutely not.

I thought it was, because rape seem so hot in yaoi. Maiden Rose...Now THAT'S HOT! But when you involve a little boy getting raped by older men like in Enzai...*closes computer*...That is just SICK.

I have no say in the matter because rape on Kara No Kyoukai movie 4 was taken care of in a very gore way. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And that's the only case of rape I've witnessed.
So, What do you think is on the other side?

Are you asking if it should be legally OK or is this coming from a moral perspective? Legally regardless of how it depicts rape it should not be censored. Morally you can certainly find its portrayal questionable, but that does not give you the right to silence others' freedom of expression regardless.

...Unless we're talking about Boku no Pico of course. Then by all means please put black boxes over everything.

Rape is a crime attempted rape is crime.
But lets be honest Japanese Criminal justice systems for underage people don't work the way we would expect it to.

And refering the op's scenario. The kids rich, he didn't get to rape her. even if she told the police the kid will get off just cause his family has money and probably political backing to ruin her life and her families anyways.

Rape is absolutely disgusting what ever the context. Too many shows have kids being molested and raped for back story,plot, etc. Every time I see it anime I cringe and skip forward it's so appalling because the attackers hardly get punished. Anyone with a functioning brain would realize when characters are afraid of relationships or have trust issues or opening up they were probably abused as a child, so it is pointless to show.

Bottom line it's just there for a bunch of sickos who get off on these kind of things.
