That’s literally what I was thinking the entire time lmao
Except chapter 5 put an end to that (unless I'm wrong as I don't exactly know what happens after ch.1 in Goblin Slayer).
I mean, if it changed then it changed. That's it. Doesn't change what i was saying.
Yes, I'm not denying what you said. While reading I'm actually reminded of GS, too, you know.
Yes ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Copied from someone's else comment, and no "rape" occurred even in the wn/ln.
They don't get raped. They actually get devoured until only the bones are left (which is a mystery that gets solved later on too, since goblins usually rape the women to breed them, instead of eating them)
No it's not copied, people can have similar thoughts... anyways, I'm not willing to argue with you that they were raped, you're wrong. Clear implication.
Read more of these isekai and you'll see it's a very common trend to have the goblins imprison and rape the females. Like, VERY common.
But not in this one. Like I've said, I've read the novel so I know what I am writing.
I do know that rape was/is commonly used in novels, but not this one, and it's one of the reasons I keep reading, aside from the fact that the story is entertaining. I rather have them dying in awful ways than being violated.
I stopped reading plenty of novels (isekais and other genres) in my long 20 years of being an otaku. So I am aware of the trend. Thanks
Like the comment I've shared, there is a reason rape did not occur. At least not in this situation.
And no need to argue. I won't deny the similarities with GS (a story that I dislike and feels flat anyway, my opinion, not a fact), but the differences are what make me enjoy the story the most.
Huh, you seem pretty reasonable. Sorry i was bitchy, i was tired and bitchy when i responded. As far as what you said, are you saying that it is explicitly stated in the ln that they don't rape female captives? I think, given the genre, that the implication in this, the manga, was clearly that they were going to rape them. It was pretty explicitly implied when the goblins stared tearing at their clothes. Maybe they rape and THEN eat them? Eating humans is hardly a new concept either.
You're also using the ln as evidence, which in itself isn't a great idea since the manga adaptation tends to differ. But ╮(￣▽￣)╭
In the novel, they explicitly explained what happened to those fellows, and they were just eaten alive. And about raping female captives, they never deny it or confirm it, so we can say that people are assuming based on past stories that follow a certain pattern. I cannot say if its right.
For instance, in Tensei no Shittara no Slime Dattara Ken (the day I reincarnated as a Slime) novel, goblins there do not rape, they even have females in their own species. I think goblins are used mostly as a starting point in isekais stories/animes. But not all use the trend "we are evil, we rape women and kill men" kind of narrative.
But they were just eaten, simple like that and that will be explained in future chapters. And eating humans is not a new concept, I do agree, but expecting rape in every encounter with goblins is actually strange.
And I am indeed using the ln as evidence, but so far, the manga has been following everything. Like many other isekai mangas, is being loyal to the source material so far. If anything was/is different we'll know.
Thanks for answering patiently.
PS: English is not my first language if anything was misunderstood in my writing, I apologize in advance.
Okay, and i understood you fine. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Like, to a T. One dream filled, cocky "leader" guy who gets killed by multiple goblins ganging up on him and ruthlessly slaughtering him? Check. Two female adventurers, one's even a mage, that get raped by the horde of goblins? (The rape isn't as graphic in this one though, it just shows the goblins tugging at their clothes) Check. Actual expert that sees everything the noobs did wrong? Check. Expert saves one girl, she also happens to be a priest? Check. Looks about as good as GS did.
