... But at least like 90%+ of the anime is rape-free, and mostly about D&D-ish comedic action adventure, and the prevalence of this rape stuff within it has been highly exaggerated by "critics" (i.e. pearl-clutchers and wokescolds).

I'm mildly surprised all this is all still being ragged on (but I probably shouldn't be...) - as shown earlier in the thread: Goblin Slayer (anime and magna) has empirically less rape and nudity than the Game of Thrones Tv series, and books...

The Game of Thrones RPG's were released with zero controversy.

The pearl-clutchers and wokescolds just have a very visceral level of hate for the Goblin Slayer IP...

Its okay to show humans raping humans. But if you show goblins doing bad things you're a reeeee-acist.

Game if Thrones also had feminist's poo poo it for rape. So get out of your victimhood puddle.

For around two weeks tops, then no one gave a shit and forgot about it eventually. No one ever forgets Goblin Slayer or stops exaggerating how bad it supposedly is, even though it isn't.

They exaggerated for 2 months before the next season's anime series came out and more clickbait horseshit came to replace it and most people forgot goblin slayer even existed.

At least people remember game of thrones, even if its to say how crap it ended.

It's always the way... Tipper Gore syndrome or Mary Whitehouse if you're in the UK.

Same as the wokies: We know what is best for you, and you must all be treated as children because you can't think for yourselves.


Greetings!


*Laughing* So true, my friend! All of these do-gooders think they can think for you in every way.

Hey Shark,

Funny thing is, most of us are old (or middle aged) bastards, who've lived a decent life. Who the hell are they to tell us what we can and can't do? We are not kids, and we are certainly not beholden to any of those woke scold fraggles.

To add a bit to this and to be fair they raged about Sheild Hero even louder because it had a galse rape accusation (it also is a pretty mediocre show but thats my critisism). Redo of Healer seems to have gotten less rage despite being the absolute worst of the series mentioned and having the main character be the rapist.

Yup, exactly. Each new isekai, or isekai-like needs a new shock factor thing, a new gimmick, and maybe a new fetish, to distinguish itself from the other 65 ones coming out that season.

I liked Drifters, even though its a shlocky, edgy show with reincarnation and has a point where there are prisoners of war that had been raped. But it doesn't follow the formula that every other isekai had followed. So this isn't me being a prude.

Honestly, I'm not interested in patronizing a game where the sole selling point is "goblins are raping our women!" It feels tacky and misogynistic.

So again you just parrot the party line instead of actually looking at the material and seeing that isnt the case.

Like most media that depicts rape, GS depicts rape as voyeuristic torture-porn. The victims are voluptuous underage girls (the dialogue says they're 15) who are posed in a manner that shows off their assets. They're raped repeatedly, forced to give birth, flayed alive, and nailed to shields. To say it's repulsive is putting it mildly: This is torture-porn.

I disagree with the wokescolds as much as anyone else, but I'm not going to buy torture-porn to feel good about myself. When I see people get tortured in media, I feel sympathetic pain. Especially when they look they could be my son or daughter. So I don't watch that stuff.

And yet you copy-paste their hate screeds ad nausium.

Last update I had seen from Yen Press was a release date of February 2022, but seeing your post had me go to their site to double check and they are now saying 04/19/22.

Sigh... now they have pushed back the release date on Amazon to June 21.

Have you seen those studies that show the Goblin Slayer inspired rapes?

There were huge upticks in rape-crimes all over nowhere.
