@goodhunter I can't find the comment I responded to, but I am pretty sure I commented all that not to justify rape, but to tell you that sex, in general, is really involved with the plot/setting, therefore, no the author doesn't "just put it to be edgy" or something. Its a part of this world, filled with really weird species that almost need it to continue their species.
I don't get why you went on that tangent about rape doujins or whatever, I would say just "don't touch those then" but you seem to hate having rape in your media, period.
In that case, just blacklist any manga here that has the "sexual violence tag" and if this one doesn't, request it to be added.
@Kingkolkappi Idk if fetishes is the word. I can guarantee you that its filled with really weird cultures because of their species fertility and/or environmental issues. I always read these societies as a weird experiment, like studying wildlife. If anyone told me "These societies would tots work in our world!" I would laugh at their faces and call them some nasty derogatory names. Also kink shame them.
What I am trying to tell you is, just take this as it is: A piece of fiction. The author doesn't really push for anything, for the sole fact he had to invent new species + pseudo-brainwashing to make societies work around it.
@Kingkolkappi tbh, if it wasn't for a lot of lore details in the story I had access to because I am a reader, I could see myself ally myself with Alda. I would push for us forming different, segregated countries however, but because of lore issues, we literally can't. Vida is the only reasonable choice (At least with Van existing, basically eternally)
