This video sums up thoughts I had weeks ago on this.

tl;dw, the scene was not nearly as fetishized nor exploitative in the original light novel. The manga artist and anime studio made it that way, totally ruining the intent of it.

If Goblin Slayer is great beyond that opening act, then good for it. Still not interested.


this is the video that made me want to watch it and give my opinion tbh. i like jeff, and i ahve relied him on some review, despite the difference in opinion, i still respect his work and watch his videos.

around midway, he kept pointing that it is exploitative because of the sup-par execution and not as depth in character writing (especially to the adventurers) and other little things. while i agree, that the example in psycho-pass carry alot more weigh into the worldbuilding and the tone of the world, there is still no malicious intent from whover side to portray sexual assault towards women are something to be cheered on. like okay, both are agree rape is bad, but they dont do a good job portraying it.

and once again, is bad a writing a crime? nope, it isn't. is it bad in quality? yes. is it exploitative? not, at least to some degree. does it use edgy elements as bait to lure people into it and intentionally spark controversy? arguably. is it the intention to frame rape as a positive thing? absolutely not.

i think this wouldn't even be an issue if the complaints are "goblin slayer's first episode is sup-par! it was totally meh" but the crowd that complains are just like "oh yeah rape are bad, m'kay, any portrayal in fiction and media are bad m'kay. i dont care about the reason or intention m'kay."

not that jeff himself point out that, he is more of the earlier camp of critique, but i still think he exagerated the real crime of the anime: being mediocre.
