      However if women started making anime or movies that featured a lot of male rape I bet you’d see a sharp condemnation of the media by men as the concept and plot device now swivels to focus on them

      There are too many chuds and incels/femcels out there. Acceptance is one hell of a thing, and closeted celibacy really allows to give shape to loser personalities. I know this so deeply because once upon a time I had incel like behaviour, and it was very, very horrible. I took my time and developed myself because I knew how wrong it was for everyone and myself.

      I cannot write more, this is depressing.

          Its alright, I have plenty scars, and it was not on you. I have battled a lot of depression and suicidal tendencies.

          Even now I am fighting a demon, struggling with it. Skillet, Disturbed, Thousand Foot Krutch, Three Days Grace, Imagine Dragons and Five Finger Death Punch are my jam.

      Berserk has really spoken to me so far because of Guts’ trauma… he and Casca mirror each other in that way, I feel, and it allows for exploration of themes dealing with trauma very seriously rather than merely as a plot motivater for Guts. He’s a big, strong, angry man but he also allows himself to cry and to remember. I agree that it goes too far sometimes, I just love Berserk and think it’s incredible how a manga from that period actually had the nerve to tackle CSA against a male. As a genderfucked AMAB person, in part caused by the abuse I endured as a child, it is absolutely liberating to see this embodiment of manliness struggle in a similar way and attempt to overcome the toxic aspects of his masculinity. His fight for revenge is not only for Casca, but for the reflection of himself.

      The anime removing a lot of that aspect of Guts bothered me, although I still enjoy it. I have to go into it with the meta-context of Guts having undergone the same trauma as he does in the manga to get full appreciation out of it, though.
