Rape. Goblin rape splits the fanbase apart right down the middle.
- On one side, you have people that don't think the rape is as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It's not, really. It's as bad as torture, gore and murder. Rape doesn't stand at the pinnacle of the "worst things that can happen" in media.
- On the other side, we have people that absolutely cannot stand rape in anime/manga. They don't even want to see or hear about it, regardless of how well or poorly it's depicted. It's gruesome, inhumane, vile and distasteful. Hell, in some media, it's depicted as a fetish or a kink. (See: Every doujin ever in the history of forever.)
An argument often used to describe rape in Goblin Slayer is that it's "sexualized" and that is not how rape should be. I cannot agree with this statement, at least, not for the first episode. Female Fighter's scene was shocking and horrible, as it should be.
[...] *snip di doo* much more of that there which I couldn't stomach reading.
