Currently reading the first chapter of the Goblin Slayer light novel, in the hopes of getting a somewhat less misogynistic version of GS. So far it looks like the original author isn’t as gung-ho about graphic rape scenes as the anime and manga, but he’s definitely still horny for underage girls, and it can’t even be excused with “it’s aimed at underage boys” because the male lead is ~25.
Shame, I really like the parts of Goblin Slayer that are about slaying goblins.
edit: There were already three opportunities for including a graphic rape scene that the anime and manga used, but the novel basically said that they experienced unspeakable horrors and left it at that. Interesting.
There’s been a real concerning recent trend in anime about students dating their teachers, and for that matter mental adults isekaid into children’s bodies. Compared to that systemic monstrosity I don’t think Goblin Slayer’s one brief scene was all that bad, even if I understand the disgust.
Quite frankly I thought Dandadan’s own first episode SA was way more objectifying and exploitative, and it’s even a recurring theme while Goblin Slayer has the decency to let that recede into background details about how horrible it is that this problem is ignored by the powerful of their society.
The thing with the Goblin Slayer anime and manga (the manga covers more of the story) is that it’s pretty much like that every time the party find brutalized women, which happens frequently. Even if you do rape scenes, they don’t need to be so clearly intended for titilation. And there’s still the plot about the 15 year old girl being into the ~25yo male lead, though IDK if he ever actually responds to that.
But I guess I haven’t watched enough recent anime to say anything about these trends, the one example I can think of is Ascendance of a Bookworm and that one was perfectly chaste AFAIK.
Jobless Reincarnation
Would be peak if not for the pedo shit
Do you know how little that narrows it down?
