i’m not cool with that last sentence at all because lol invalidating people being offended but other than that BLESS THIS FUCKING POST

What Chi said up yonder, but anyway I think the main reasoning behind the reaction being less here in this particular case is because “lol mirai nikki fandom”, as sad and simple as that is to say. You have to remember that this is the same group of people who would mostly agree that Yukki deserves to be abused because he’s a “pussy” or invalidate the abuse/encourage the abuse, saying things like how they wish they had a girlfriend in real life just like Yuno and can’t understand why Yukki doesn’t want her when she’s so amazing amongst other wondrous shit-mirai-nikki-fans-say.avi you could insert here (for instance, the homophobic/heterosexist bashing of Akise).

It is literally the worst fandom that I’ve ever been in, personally, and this right here is exactly why: because they say and support garbage like this. Again, sad, but true. If someone can honestly say that they’re 100% okay with this addition or find Asread’s desperate attempts for improving their sales “great”, then more power to you, but the fact of the matter is that this particular change was disgusting and entirely unnecessary, and based solely on the fact that Asread decided adding rape just for the sake of boobs and the graphic sexual content would be a good way to boost sale rates - as in Asread decided people would be more willing to buy this for extra rape-related content. They already added semen to Tsubaki’s rape scene in the BDs, so I guess we know what Asread’s particular interests are in terms of fan service.

But yes, I’m really glad for this post and agree wholeheartedly. I have many problems with this particular fandom, and this just adds another shining to the shit list.

lain you are literally a wonderful fucking human being who i am utterly blessed to know

sorry, I’m not out looking for fights or arguments with anyone but I really don’t get what the big premise is here.

I am against rape (and any other crime for that matter jsyk) yes. indeed that is morally wrong.

what I don’t get is why people get galled at the thought of rape being added in it while watching an anime whose plotline is about twelve people out to brutally murder each other.

even if it’s a meaningless piece of story or just plain fanservice added in, that’s the way it went. not all anime are loved for the same reason; some people just don’t like what’s in it (and the people who watch it even). I’m not one with the Mirai Nikki fandom either and I’m not saying that I agree to this “garbage” but I really think this is more of an overreaction. if Sakae Esuno is okay with it (or is he?), then what argument do I pose?

murdering people is okay but rape and boobage is not. frankly my moral compass is confused. I get what you’re saying that rape is bad but why should you be surprised in seeing it in an anime such as Mirai Nikki?

I’m assuming this was directed at my reply, but sorry in advance if it wasn’t!

Anyway, I explained in another post/reply to someone else, but my main point is that I don’t agree with the people saying it’s “great” when I really do not think the whole rape-as-improvement-to-a-character is justified at all, nor do I agree that saying those who are offended should relax or not be so offended when it’s not really up to anyone but the individual themselves to know what does and does not bother them. I’m not saying that, “Yeah, I think murdering people is okay,” by watching/reading Mirai Nikki, or I’d honestly hope that’s not true for anyone, but it doesn’t personally offend me when I read or watch it in a series, even if I don’t approve of it in reality. I suppose it’s more that I’m desensitized to it in fiction, but I do still find it to be a lot more awful in real life, obviously.

Of course, just because it doesn’t bother me much, like blood and other things typically do not, I’m not going to knock on those who are bothered by it or tell them to grow some balls/chill out if it disturbs them that much. And yes, I’ll try not to generalize here, but I agree, to an extent, that everyone who read or watched Mirai Nikki at any point in time likely was aware that, yes, there would be graphic violence and, yes, there may be some sexual content. However, that doesn’t automatically mean we should be expected to accept every little event therein. Those who have read the manga in full prior to the anime like myself seem to be the ones who have taken the most offense to this, for instance, because it is something we did not expect, having already read the series however many times before and then following it up with Asread’s adaption while taking note of how it had been following Esuno’s original manga well enough until the recent episode. Ai was never raped in the original, nor did I ever expect Asread to just throw in, “By the way, Ai was raped,” out of nowhere, even with low BD sales or Asread already using fanservice and gore to encourage ratings. It was just unexpected, for me and for others, and naturally that same level of surprise or disgust does not apply to everyone.

As I said before, I am not going to dictate what offends and does not offend someone’s sensibilities. I wouldn’t want that done onto me nor is there really a point to telling someone they’re too sensitive or overreacting when it could very well be a bigger deal to them than it is to you. Different strokes for different folks and all that, I guess is the simplest way to put it. Still, regardless if something does or does not personally offend me, it may or may not offend someone else, and that’s perfectly fine. What is not fine is if there are people who are upset by certain content included in a series and then another someone or group of someones who are not so bothered by it decides that they are overreacting or being too sensitive to their personal liking when it is not their call to decide what is and is not offensive to anyone but themselves.

The point of the post, however, was not a means of weighing what is and is not offensive, so I apologize if that is what you gathered from the read; nobody is saying that graphic violence is less offensive than rape nor is anyone suggesting that graphic violence is more acceptable material to include in a series than rape. It’s more or less that not everyone who read the series could assume from the original material that Asread would be planning to toss in a rape scene for Ai, even with Tsubaki’s backstory (especially considering they are two totally different characters), and this was more so a given reaction due to Asread’s thus far faithful adaptation of the original manga (minus the cement being turned into gas for whatever reason+the mixing in/changing of some Mosaic-related scenes). Thus, the reaction is what it is for some and not the same for others. The fact that it was an unexpected/unannounced addition and then basically only thrown in for the blatant improving of profits angered/upset some fans, and that’s just as fine as those who were not surprised or not disturbed by the content (“It’s insertseriesnamehere, what did you expect,” etc). Just as well, even if it were expected or announced, or even included in the original run of the manga, I sincerely doubt it would be any less offensive to those who it did manage to upset.

In other words, those people who were bothered by the inclusion of an unnecessary depiction of rape should not be knocked for not expecting it to happen, nor should they be told to “relax” or “chill” or what have you simply because they can manage to watch fictional characters be violent easier than they can manage to watch a fictional character be raped. I’m not going to say one is worse than the other because you can’t really compare them/this is kind of an “apples to oranges” scenario here, and that would be a fairly tasteless comparison anyway. Furthermore, saying that we should have expected this just because of a rape scene that happened once before in the manga some years ago/early on for a single character’s backstory is kind of going out on a limb, so that’s also why I’m not really understanding the people saying this is something we all should have seen coming when it really is not, no matter how violent and occasionally sexual a large portion of the content was in the original manga. Again, that’s another opinion of mine that you might disagree with, but I wouldn’t say that’s a reason to go and invalidate how some fans reacted - rather, I don’t think there’s ever a right reason to invalidate another person’s opinion or reaction unless they’re completely in the wrong, such as the homophobic/heterosexist reactions to Akise or those who have claimed abuse to be something positive or something to enjoy, even in real life, so Yukiteru should be grateful.

In the end, it does come down to a matter of how an individual reacts to the series and not the fandom as a whole, along with each person’s individual sensitivity to certain subjects. It is not that individual fan’s responsibility to be offended or not be offended by the same materials as everyone else. It is, however, on the fandom as a whole to be respectful about the content that’s being addressed as opposed to attempting to dictate what is and isn’t offensive for everyone involved in the fandom.

TL;DR: Violence and rape are most certainly not okay, nor is anyone suggesting one is more acceptable or offensive than the other. Everyone simply has different sensibilities. We need only be respectful as opposed to trying to impose our personal standards on one another when that would literally drag us in circles, and is essentially a flat out pointless effort, all things considered. I’m only hoping people can recognize this and be considerate as opposed to, “Oh, you’re just overreacting; it’s Mirai Nikki and they can do worse,” or, “Oh, well it was a good call; I think it was great, so chill out,” and essentially invalidating those who were honestly bothered by a particular scene that I really cannot blame them for being disturbed by, nor would I invalidate someone for being upset by a character dying or losing a limb, whether it’s Mirai Nikki we’re talking about or not.

Again, I’m terribly sorry if my previous post wasn’t clear enough; that’s my fault, and I apologize if it seemed at any point as though I was trying to impose on anyone’s morals or standards, or assert that one subject was worse than the other. I’m only suggesting that those who are not offended by the addition of the recent episode’s rape scene not try to press their opinions on those who actually did find it to be disturbing or attempt to invalidate them when it’s not their place to do so.

this was just what I was looking for.

thank you for your insight. I really appreciate it! and no need to apologize for anything. If anything else, I’m the one supposed to do the apologizing if you found anything distasteful or upsetting in my reply (which was generally directed to anyone who could clear up things).

I agree that everyone has their own sensibilities. my mistake was not understanding yours. Really tbh the first thought that came to me is overreaction [and I also agree that we shouldn’t compare rape and murder. I wasn’t comparing it. what I was implying was that the morality on these matters don’t differ. both are bad and I only got it in] because I mistook the basis as disapproval for violence; you expounding on this matter made me think otherwise.

I have read the manga too and I don’t understand why Asread tossed that rape-thing in either. It was my bad that I misunderstood the premise of the post. Probably because I do not loathe Asread as much for not staying fully true to the manga. It’s like you said, the same level of surprise or disgust does not apply to everyone (and that includes me). it was stupid of me for thinking that you were reacting on the added variety of violence (for sales) and not consider the possibility of offense taken simply on the added content itself (because I haven’t felt so myself especially since I thought this change went on with Esuno’s approval). I apologize for that and I understand you better now.

yes, people asserting their opinions are really annoying and I thank your kind of people for elaborating these kind of things in a good manner instead of bashing it on our heads and shoving it in our throats.

Oh how I wish the majority of the Mirai Nikki fandom were more like you instead of the pushy “Bisex Detective does not deserve to live, Crybaby Guy belongs to Yandere Gurl” kind of people.

In the dry lakebed of Racetrack, Death Valley stones as big as 700 pounds mysteriously slide across the surface of the earth without any notable external forces acting upon them. While some researchers believe a combination of natural events, such as wind and ice, cause these stones to “sail”, others question this theory pointing out that the stones don’t follow a predictable path and change directions abruptly.

It’s not just a stone…. IT’S A ROCK. A great, big, beautiful rock!
