Especially when it's rape for the sake of rape. At least come up with a reason.I don't understand Isekia mangaka and their obsession with rape. Like, it doesn't add anything to the story.
It adds realism. I have read a whole lot of isekai, but I wouldn't necessarily call it an obsession. It's there a lot, but not through and through. It's also exceedingly predominantly depicted as vile, as it should, which doesn't make it seem weird. Unlike slavery. Many an isekai author goes a long way to depict slavery as something okay, in the extreme cases as something positive, even desirable. That bothers me a lot. Rape is something sad that has happened in all wars in RL as well, quite a lot. Before the modern times, it happened everywhere in what you could call an organised manner even outside of wars/occupation. Well, it still might in some of the less fortunate countries. So, it's pure realism.I don't understand Isekia mangaka and their obsession with rape. Like, it doesn't add anything to the story.

So far there've been multiple cases where orcs where shown doing it with apparently dead bodies. So either those orcs are necrophiliacs or the victims died during the process. Either case there's no point to it, there's no argument the orcs need it to procreate or something.
It's also worth pointing out that rape and interspecies rape is common as Hell in the animal kingdom.It adds realism.

Shock value and adds in stakes. Also it gives a gruesome depiction by showing you explicitly that some horrible shit will happen if they ever fail.I don't understand Isekia mangaka and their obsession with rape. Like, it doesn't add anything to the story.
It might be due to different views.They must have been transported right next to a whole town of orcs. Many have already been defeated, but more keep coming.

Half true. It immediately makes things a lot darker and makes the situation more serious and tense, as well as giving the situation a sense of morbid maturity; that said, you could probably make due with just violence and and a dab of nudity, and it wouldn't turn people away nearly as much.I don't understand Isekia mangaka and their obsession with rape.

Don't totally agree with you here. Practically every time a goblin or orc is shown, it's mentioned that they rape women.It's there a lot, but not through and through.
I'm not sure if they do? To me it seems like it's just thrown out there; so if they're into that kind of thing, it's still going to be hot, but if you're not you just sort of glaze past it. But I get the impression that many are kind of into it, like this author, though maybe that's just my impression.It's also exceedingly predominantly depicted as vile, as it should, which doesn't make it seem weird.
True, but you're way overstating it's occurrence (as far as I know anyway).It's also worth pointing out that rape and interspecies rape is common as Hell in the animal kingdom.
Sure, but authors are human and so are their audience - people are allowed to complain if they find what an author writes to be in bad taste. This doesn't mean you can't approach subjects such as rape, or even interspecies rape, but I'm sure you agree that this author probably could have handled it a little more delicately (not that I'm the one complaining, I'm just talking about the trend as a whole).Anyone trying to add human explanations to what non-humans do need to remember who they're talking 'bout,their values don't line up with us
Is 100% fetish. I think people should stop looking at what they don't like, especially when it is just for entertainment.I don't understand Isekia mangaka and their obsession with rape. Like, it doesn't add anything to the story.

If it we're being more accurate to the animal kingdom, we'd only see one or two orcs doing it, not EVERY orc doing it to EVERY woman they see. That's why it feels like it's more of a fictional forced thing rather than something that would actually happen if orcs existed as a natural species of animal.

Also, not to be an ass, but remember to add a space after your commas, that last paragraph was oddly hard for me to read without them.
on the other hand it sort of depends on where you look because slavery is often treated in Isekai as something where the slaves are treated horribly for the most part and the MC is the only good "master" there.

There's a comic with an animated adaptation that distills that aspect right to the very core.because (japanese) H + ero = HERO
It's a pretty cheap addition most of the time too. It can happen at any moment, and then be disregarded a few panels later to make room for humor or fanservice. The mood goes all over the place. Attempted rape is especially cheap and can be briefly added into any otherwise wholesome romcom as a generic plot device and not make any lasting impact.I don't understand Isekia mangaka and their obsession with rape.
