Okay, allow me to admit something before I start: I watch hentai. I don't like to talk about this kind of thing with friends that aren't into it too, because it makes me feel like a perv. But, before you decide to start bashing me, I will tell you that I have my limits, and I run into stuff that pushes those limits more often than not. One of those limits is, Rape.
I believe one of the things hentai does is try to get the viewer (who is usually male) to imagine themself as the guy in the hentai scenes, fap, or otherwise sit back and watch in utter arousal. Now, I have very strong morals and beliefs, even in something such as watching hentai, so when I watch something that involves rape, instead of being aroused, I'm filled with the desire to kill the person committing the act of rape.
Now, I know most of you are going "Calm down, Lang, it's not real.", "How can you get upset over a cartoon?! Get a grip!". Well, I suppose you're right about that part, but it's a natural reaction and more than a few people feel the same way. However, that's not where I'm going with this. What
REALLY gets on my bad side is the fact that there are plenty of people that consider this sort of thing
hot and get off on it.'
This is not just in hentai, but in regular anime as well, and I can think of no better example than Kannazuki no Miko.
Here's what I'm talking about. Now, you can watch the clip if you want, but I want you to look through the comments. Out of several people who hated on Chikane, or contemplated what happened, there were more than a few idiots that were cheering Chikane on to perform the act, or talking about how hot it was. That right there is what pisses me off and that's also why rape hentai is made; because people get off on it.
Another example of this is a 3 episode hentai series called Seikufu Shoujo. It's really about cute girls (who from the looks of things go to the same school) who are in some way forced to be sex slaves for some deranged asshole. There's a lot that disturbs me about this hentai, like how during and after the scenes, the victim has this look in her eyes like she just
brokeor something, or in the case of one episode, the rapist is so damn polite about everything, he sounds to me like he's being insulting. I actually found myself planning out how I would help these girls if I were in the series.
But, let's go a little further than that. There are some porno sites where you can watch live action rape scenes. Whether this is staged or actual rape was and still is beyond me at this time.
I find the fact that there are people that are attracted to rape very disturbing and I'd keep an eye on those people. Okay, let me just say to those people:
Rape is not cool, it's not funny (unless we're talking prison bum-rape, and that's always funny), and it's not fun. Sure, you may be getting upset with me for being offended by that sort of thing, but you need to keep in mind that this is one of those "Art imitates life" cases. This means that the scene demonstrates something that can and probably does occur in real life. The fact that you're being aroused by it, demonstrates to me that you may be capable of committing rape yourself. And when I see your ass on the morning news while I'm eating my breakfast and getting ready to head out, cause the cops are looking for you, I'll trace your youtube account to your house, come up in there with a wooden sword (yeah, I have a wooden sword, deal with it!) then beat your ass and serve you up to the cops. Because, somewhere along the line you forgot that rape is a crime.
It causes great amounts of emotion and psychological damage to the victim, and it can take months, or even years for them to recover, or they may never recover! There's a reason why rape is a crime. And the next asshole to say rape is cool, or rape is hot, is gonna get a visit from me to whoop their ass.
Class dismissed!
