So go read/watch something instead of having a story explain it? Or the author of said story? There wasn't even a link to a wiki. I know by not doing so I am missing out, however that also doesn't absolve you by using such things without any regard to people that don't know that half. As a author your job is to make it all come together and work without people having to study up on things.
...What? I'm sorry, what? The author must explain in detail what one of the selling points of the story is so that you can understand why you should like it? In other words, the author should spoonfeed you the meaning behind certain actions or appeals in order for you to form a proper, intelligent opinion?
I just...
No, no, moving on...
Generally, when someone says something like that, like "the Matou Sakura & Asagami Fujino treatment," I'd assume any reader interested would try to look up what that means, or failing that,
ask about it.
Though my apologies if my honest post offends the writer of a rape scene.
Why does this feel like, "I'm sorry you're a horrible human being?"
Shock value to cause a visceral reaction and shove faces into how the ABB operate for plot development on Taylor. Yes, I have read and now know they are worthless as people and characters and only matter for that one reason according to you. So up top for why I should care about them is more along the lines of the effect their being alive and going through that causes Taylor and not them personally.
...I feel like there's a fundamental misunderstanding going on, here. ALL characters are in some way relevant to the plot, and just because some serve a vital function in moving a particular plot or subplot forward doesn't mean they're otherwise worthless.
If that sets the tone for them going forward, which is having an introduction according to you followed by rape, then we shall stop here. I have no temptation to see what horror and tragedies you will inflect on their bodies and minds to give Taylor a push or shake her up in the future. This also says to me you will be doing such things again, as you please for the same reason. I might be wrong, but with how you wrote that there is how I am taking it.
...Did you read my posts
at all? Or anyone else's except
@ensou's? Nasuverse
sucks hard. The setting is brilliant, the characters are generally likeable or despicable for all the right reasons, with well considered reasons for their actions and behaviors, and the lore is so deep that people
still debate certain parts of it more than 10 years after the initial release. But it's not generally a place you want to live. Humanity is at the bottom of the scale and everything else (just about) wants us dead for one reason or another. The collective unconscious of mankind, the cumulative drive to survive that keeps the human species alive, also does its level best to maintain the status quo, which means no single person can make any significant difference (for the better). It also goes nuclear on anything or anyone that reaches a certain level of threat, often with collateral equivalent to an atomic bomb.
Bad things happen, and not always for a reason. Yumizuka Satsuki was at the wrong place at the wrong time and became the victim of a vampire, despite being an otherwise normal girl. Kotomine Kirei was born with a unique magical trait that makes it so he can only find enjoyment in
other people's suffering. Thousands of people died in a single night, through no fault of their own, when a dark god threw a hissy fit over Emiya Kiritsugu refusing to let it kill all of mankind. Tohsaka Sakura was given up for adoption by her father because he wanted both his daughters to flourish as magi and he could only train the older sister, Rin; the old magus she was adopted by, Matou Zouken, proceeded to do unspeakable things to her with worm familiars that possessed a grotesquely phallic shape.
And that's just for starters. Asagami Fujino had it pretty bad. Bluebeard (Gilles de Rais) committed horrible acts upon
dozens of children, to the point where Waver Velvet lost his lunch when he and Rider discovered the lair where the bodies were kept (and sometimes "primed" for much darker purposes). The orphans left over from that dark god's hissy fit...well, their fates are revealed at the end of Fate Route in FSN.
It's bad. Emiya Shirou only escaped being one of them by being adopted by Kiritsugu,
and he's well aware of that when he finds them.
The point is, those of us familiar with the source material aren't anywhere near as impacted by the latest chapter as you are, because
we knew what to expect from Nasuverse. Though I don't think any of us outright
expected that scene in particular, we're familiar with the themes and such that
@ensou is working with. That's why we think you're being uncharitable and nitpicking, and why several people have said, "Go watch KnK."
Seriously. Go watch KnK. Digest everything that happens in it for a few days. Then, if you still think that scene is too much, come back and give a well-reasoned, cordial response.
