i think you basing this off of a lack of experience. most of the rapes in anime and manga i have seen are with tentacle monsters on defenseless women or larva / insects or techno organic machines that are grafted onto fish or that time griphy probed casca im not sure how to categorize that. is that work place related violence? he wasnt a human anymore technically
i think you havent tasted the anime and manga options at your disposal. you just read some low level manga then remembered heavens feel : 2 lost butterfly and went omg its a seriously common thing
Jeremiah Wright
Those arent even in the same setting or genre, obviously a non-h manga isnt going to have tentacle monster rape.
Gabriel Edwards
I appreciate a girl who's gutsy enough to kick her rapists, but then she gets knifed to death when she tries to run. No good.
>And why is a video always used as some kind of blackmail? You would have to be really dumb to let a video stop you from reporting it to the police. Rape victims are treated awfully
Dominic Rivera
Japanese legal and social system arent comparable to western counterparts. Rape victims could be harassed/shamed/bullied. The yakuza are very connected on high. Theres a lot at work there but since you dont care enough to look into it and just shitpost about it why bother
Aaron Robinson
Is this why there's so much more rape and stuff in Japanese media compared to the west? It's easier to get away with and thus more common?
Brayden Taylor
it's because it's a cliche and japs love copying cliches from other manga if there was ever a real world basis it's ancient and outdated
Hudson Campbell
who do you want to rape them, precisely
Ethan Thompson
This would make sense in the fucking 80's not in social media era when once evidence hits internet you suddenly have 30 million white knights behind you and government needs to officially take action or get eaten alive by worldwide media.
hmmm, nice legs. I bet you this is some blueballing attempted rape scene, though
Adrian Walker
No. It's far less common that's why it has this fantasy like status. It's like asking if caped heroes are real in USA because they are so common in US media.
Jayden Hall
>trash Holy fuck talk about a manga I forgot about completely.
John Nguyen
Nah, it happens, but off-camera. Then crazy ringleader guy tortures her to death with a boxcutter.
That's a terrible comparisons, user. Blackmail is real, Superman isn't. And I mean...if the out for rapists is something that keeps the crime from being reported at all, how would you know if it happens?
Leo Cruz
"Consent", like superheroes, is entirely a societal and social construct. There's no "consent" molecule found in nature.
Leo Howard
Yes it is, but they just don't speak about it
Asher Perez
I'm so disappointed that when that girl got raped later in the series it happened off-panel
it's a little hard to explain but in japan the idea of "face" and "honor" actually exist. Furthermore associated shame is a real thing (meaning family shame). This is why suicide is a big deal.
So what is it about "video taping/photographing rape" an objectively stupid move in the west would be such a story trope in japan? It's because it slides straight into the desgrace/face issues in their society.
1) an unmarried woman showing her body to another man == slut/disgrace. Photos threaten to make public this disgrace. See in japan if a disgrace is private it's not a disgrace. So while rape is bad, the idea the photos of the rape being made public is far more threatening to the victim. To the victim, the later == social death and family disgrace. 2) for the same reason a lot of women won't even report a rape in japan, even without some blackmail material. By not reporting it you don't risk social death/disgrace. -note, this was far more common in japan 20 years ago, western feminism has softened japan a bit on this issue, so it's no longer a guarantee women won't report a rape or train molestation, but apparently it still happens enough the trope remains. This is why a school teacher in japan can have harems of his students fucking him for decades before someone tells on him (yes this has happened); or how a school teacher can fondle the breasts of his students at will for 40+ years, every student multiple times in a year without one of the girls complaining. the guy retired before anyone complained, he was only arrested because he didn't just fondle but he took photos of hundreds of them (this also happened). 3) while rape is traumatic, it's a temporary "painful" event, which usually won't leave lasting scars. meanwhile social disgrace/shame will live on long after the wounds heal.
put it all together and you get an understandable picture of why women in japan would be intimidated into silence about a rape with some photos.
Parker Kelly
What about guys being raped by girls or girls being raped by girls?
Chase Lee
Yeah, dude. It's a mystery why the rapes are so often committed by delinquents and gang members against women who can't defend themselves. I've been puzzling myself over that question for a while and can't think of an answer.
Joshua Rogers
>Why delinquents and yakuza rape defenseless girls Dunno, probably cause the average kind and pathologically honest shota that faint when a girl try to talk to him wouldn't try hunting for amazons to rape.
