Yeah it's clear you're a loser with double standards. Either this is fictional to you and rape shouldn't matter or rape is wrong no matter what. You complaining about this not only makes you a hypocrite, it exposes the fact that you only believe rape can work 1 way. At best you're a sad self inserter that placed yourself as Shirasawa during that Ekoda scene. At worst you're a delusional hypocrite that says "who cares it's fiction" but will complain about something being a crime when YOU don't like it. I guess you could argue this might also be because you're a self inserter and can't selt insert as these guys, which means now you don't like it.despite the disgusting chapter, yet what butthurt you was the mention of "Ekoda" so yeah, my point is clear.

Visual short hand is important in story telling. If a character is “ugly” but evil the author is trying to communicate something different than if they are “pretty” but evil. Ugly but evil is used for Brutish characters, where as pretty but evil is used for more manipulative characters because we as people are already conditioned to expect good looking things to be good.Putting the other issues that this thread is filled with aside, I don't like how characters are being coded as right or wrong with how pretty they are drawn. These two characters are clearly scum, so they must be really ugly, right? And other characters that the author wants us to feel more sympathetic towards are drawn beautifully.
It's...a common thing, yes, but I'm getting real tired of it. It enforces such weird viewpoints. It sucks to be able to immediately recognize "this person is a villain" because of the way they're drawn. Things don't work that way...and it leads to people being able to do monstrous things in real life because others are conditioned to assume they must be "good" because they look harmless.
I understand why it is a common crutch, I'm just sick of it, and I think it has real consequences.Visual short hand is important in story telling.

If one sees a chair that obviously had careful thought and craftsmanship out into they will assume it’s a good chair, where as if they see a chair that appears rough and uncared for they will assume the chair is of low quality.
Tropes exist and are used for a reason. honestly the more damaging trope is “ugly = evil” since that one is more or less still accepted as fact by most people, where as “pretty = good” at least received skepticism now and then.I understand why it is a common crutch, I'm just sick of it, and I think it has real consequences.
I wonder if any of these people have reevaluated.~“What are you talking about? This series hasn't jumped the shark at all. It was like this from the beginning.”~
