Blatch Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 It would be so nice if we kept all discussion of the rape episode in here, though. This shit is why I could never get into SAO on my own. Heck, with this coming out, I'll probably skip Season 3 if Toonami airs it. It's not worth it anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatch Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Eh... now I'm not sure why I typed that. It's not like any discussion of SAO is going to be constructive when Ben's around. But it would be good for containment purposes, if anyone wants a controversy-free discussion thread for the new season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 The only thing that gets me through SAO's rape scenes (outside of content rating stuff) is amazement at Bang Zoom's stunt casting for said rapists. Todd Haberkorn as Sugo/Oberon, JYB as Shinkawa, and even an uncredited Vic Mignogna as the slug dude (with Tony Oliver as his comparatively more vanilla buddy). Whoever they get to play the assaulter in Alicization, whoever he is, I'm confident he'll have name recognition within the anime dub fandom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) 8 hours ago, mochi said: I wouldn't go that far The good thing about goblins is that they aren’t able to vocalize how exciting it is to assault women. The camera also hasn’t revelled in the women’s agony or assets during the act. There are no upsides to rape in this universe and it’s not used, attempted or otherwise, to delegitimize the strength of women as a whole in the universe. That’s already far more positive in comparison to every SAO instance where rape is used to cuckhold the audience into a state of anger/jealousy over their strong heroines being vulnerable after all until the hero can swoop in to save the day. Edited December 13, 2018 by imchapp.in 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, if and when Alicization makes it to Toonami, I bet you anything you all overplay your reactions to the rape while I react with as much apathy/attention towards other details as I can muster.

CaptainStarwind Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I'm at a loss of words for this. What is the necessity of this? So we can have yet another scene in SAO of a guy coming to the rescue of the poor, helpless, girl? For the sake of titillating the audience? I really hope it's not the latter, because if Reki truly thinks that it hot to watch a woman (TWO in this case) get unwillingly pinned down, clothes being torn from her body, legs being forced open, and being tossed around like a fucking ragdoll, then he deserves every single ounce of hatred and criticism he gets for this scene. I'm honestly disgusted by this. Truly, completely, and honestly disgusted. There has only been one other time I've ever felt this level of disgust after a rape scene (occurring in a far better manga than SAO can ever aspire to be), and that experience left me very nearly mentally broken and resulted in probable depression. I think the biggest thing that disgusts me about this scene is that it's probably meaningless to the story. While I can't be certain of that (I've not been watching SAO Season 3, so someone correct me if I'm wrong), the fact that it's SAO, as well as how mad people are getting over it, lead me to think that such is the case. And if that IS, the case, then that means the scene could just be cut and nothing would be lost. Whatever little development that may have happened could easily have happened elsewhere. Which means Reki probably wrote this rape scene for one or more of these reasons: 1. To show a male character acting manly and saving helpless female characters 2. To add cheap drama 3. For fanservice Absolutely none of these are EVER good reasons to write a rape scene, and Reki should be ashamed of himself for thinking otherwise. I'll probably watch SAO III if it comes to Toonami, but I'll find it difficult to watch a (probably) uncensored version of that scene again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
