It's literally just this meme. That's this whole backstory.

If your using "bandits" as a plot device, its almost always censorship to not have rape. Logically speaking if bandits take captives, rape is more likely than not. Thats why it needs to be pointed out why the captives are relatively unharmed when they are, because there needs to be a reason. The default reason a group of raiders took your women is to rape them.

This is not "rape" as a plot device, its Bandits.

Rent-a-minion was having a special on bandits I see...

 

[Kjerside]

just gonna spoil the plot by guessing because this is so generic thats its obvious.. the other 3 heroes are at fautlt for his sweethearts death and this turns into a revenge thing that later on will lead him to want to destroy them and himself in the end.. well havent seen that before... or wait maybe somewhere like a 100 times xD

@Merilirem It's wrong to say they ALL do it. There have been plenty of groups of brigands and such who live in the mountains or wherever who basically protect the people in their territory in exchange for supplies, avoiding plunder and rape for long-term benefits. They're even known for temporarily allying with the government to help repel invaders in exchange for immunity from persecution, temporarily or permanently, parallelling the whole "privateer" thing that happened on the seas. There's plenty of people who'd join these groups because they stole, deserted, or did some other crime which doesn't really put them at the level of being a rapist. It's a thing that happened in many places and eras, and still probably happens in some of the shittier parts of the world.

Mercenaries like this, marauding civilizations like vikings, and even "proper" soldiers did a whole lot more raping than bandits, because they were protected by the law: it was considered beneficial to an invading force to rape and plunder the people in the places you invaded for a number of reasons, so it was allowed. Bandits, though? They often became that out of fear, poverty, rebellion, etc. and could only raise so much fuss before the nobility in charge decided they were worth doing something about.

And even besides all that, rape is a powerful enough sight that implying it instead of showing it outright is pretty much always acceptable unless you want to make a whole thing out of it. It kinda derails/disrupts the narrative to put it in a story you don't trust to properly deal with the subject, now that we live in an era where most people get what it does to a person.

People getting taken away in the first place is what never should have happened tbh, because of what a shitty contrivance of a plot device it is in this particular case.

U guys should know that the bandita kidnapped them right?there is no way that they have the time to rape girls in 1hr if theyre already that far,and they have been requested by someone and btw most bandits sell women,children as slaves so they dont rape their merchandise at they want it in a high tier shape

 

[Dezaki]

Damn the comments really jinxed it by saying the next chapter would be in next year

 

[hermitboi]

Griffith is that you?
