Some people got into it because it had lots of nudity and sex, but that is not at all the same thing. Are there anyone who's getting into this show because it showed rape? There's almost always multiple reasons someone watches something, but I'm sure its willingness to depict rape is definitely a reason some people have gotten into it for. Anteaterking posted... People have been fascinated by serial killers since before Jack the Ripper. The slasher film genre is a natural place for horror to go, not a surprise. The only "surprising" part was how in Halloween people cheered for the victims, but when Friday the 13th came out they started cheering for the slasher. If you're going to go that route, rape has always been a narrative device, sometimes gratuitously since Greek mythology. Anteaterking posted... That's not plot. You're talking about characterization. Killing/murder ends characters' plot lines. It's usually the pretense to war. Your example of the Red Wedding is a pivotal moment in the series for most of the main characters, even ones who weren't there and completely changes the narrative in a way that watching Ramsay rape Sansa doesn't. The daughter's rape is what fueled the guy in death wish to do what he does. Odysseus's motivation for his journey is his wife getting raped. I spit on your grave's MC completely changes after her rape. These are all pivotal moments in a narrative. The only thing it can't do that death can is end their plot lines but if the rape puts them into a coma, psychologically breaks them into insanity, or just completely leave the setting it can --- Real subtle <cite>SubtletyRefuge posted [p:910291699] in new anime ...
