Thanks swallow for adding a lil life to the forums.

PS: wasurera, if ya gotta add more info, then edit your last post. No need to post again unless someone responded to you.

Yeah I read it as "sexiest".

Believe me his work illustrates more than sexist behavior. (In reality if he was to be accurate of the middle ages there wouldn't be a Casca the warrior.) I think it's amusing that people are still stupid enough to believe what people portray in their comics expresses their personal opinions, or is in some way true to real life.

If you were actually interested in his real opinion you might try reading his interview to get a better understanding of how he created Berserk. He's an observer of sorts.

Ignore the ethereal beings and magic, we're concerned about the facts of a period and that there might be a woman in the story who is adversely affected by it.

By this account he's also a child molester.

Is he sexist, or the sexiest? I don't know and I don't really care, as it won't stop me from reading or enjoying Berserk.

so even if you were fucking with us, i still have to give my 2 cents. you see, i dont give a rat's ass if you just said you were fucking with us b/c you got burnt by the flame so listen up.

swallow,
if you are indeed a woman, then you must know that all women experience their periods differently. some can barely feel it while other are bed ridden for 2 weeks and it doesn't matter how kick ass they may be, they just cant get up.

caska is one of the most non cliche kick ass female characters in most anime/manga. it is so disrespectful to call miura a sexist when if anything, he redeems women of that time.

caska is NOT a victim of sexism.

if you are so set on bitching about sexism and enlightening all of the evil men, you would do yourself a favor and find a REAL problem. ...maybe in REAL life.

if you want to worry about what is not realistic in berserk , why not question the otherworldly creatures, the behlit, or even the eclipse? instead you question a personal and very subjective physical reaction to a fictional character's period.

so there. i hope this thread burns in hell. i dont want to think about how useless and unneeded it is.

I didn't find anything you said offensive, that kick in the 'nads is for a completely different reason. What you plated them in copper?

I'm sorry if you're pissed Fuji, the main reason I started the thread was because I was bored at work - what was I supposed to do, finish off my paperwork instead of pointlessly antagonising people on the internet? (There's a reason that Australia has one of the lowest productivity rates in the world.)

If you want Psi, please give me an 'Don't mind me I'm a dumbass' title, I'll wear it with a degree of pride. I've been feeling like a dumbass lately (not for fucking around on the forum mind you, just life in general).

Oh, and that offer of hot cocoa is still up.

No, the nads are solid titanium... unfortunately it's genetic... women call me the "chin breaker" .... i'm simply curious why i deserve a kick to the nads? why would someone desecrate the illustrious sortep? penguins like me damnit!

I'll take that hot cocoa. I enjoyed the thread, so no need for the title. That is reserved for when everyone agrees a person deserves it.

Whatever gets people talking and more or less about interesting shit.

Nah, it wasn't a 'shit factor'. It was the colics that kicked in. Sweating, feeling abdominal pain (in a sport where you keep moving and twisting your torso all the time) was painfull

At least it was mildly interesting, unlike some post I just read.

Meh. Some girls get sick when they have their period. I do.

I don't think that part was exactly sexist. The only thing I find sexist in Berserk is the fact that Casca gets raped so much.

Of course it wouldn't matter. But you'd need energy for a battle. And your energy would be low if you were dealing with some bad cramps.

Post by **Shisho** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 12:59 am

I don't know if you noticed, everyone gets raped in Berserk.

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 1:56 am

That's actually true. Well... partly - did Isidoro get raped? Maybe not him.

And all those other guys, they don't get raped, either, Farnese and Serpico. Nor does Puck, unfortunately.

So it should be: Every old main character gets raped. Even Griff got buttfucked, albeit for money.

Aww, and here I was, thinking that you were an angry lesbian. I was about to recommend you to one of my female friends, too. ):

You can, uh, introduce her to me. Just out of curiousity. I'll set her straight.

As for Casca getting raped so much, she's not the only exception. Most women in the manga gets raped pretty excessively, although they're more like trivial and secondary characters. At first, I hated Farnese, but now I'm starting to grow attached to her.

They just haven't shown the flashbacks is all.

Ah, what the world is waiting for : THE SHOCKING PUCK SEX VIDEO!!!

Post by **Lungs** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 9:24 pm

Hahaha! Puck sex! That'll be pathetic... I feel ashamed having read it.

I think one of the funniest thing about feminism is when females try and call men sexist... ahhh! What's going on there, eh. A waste of time, I think. Say I'm slapping some 'bitch's' 'ass', and she turns round and calls me sexist (or chauvinistic, or socially retarded)... should I reply to that by castrating myself and start hanging out in male locker rooms - knowing that an epiphany, regarding gender difference, is but an arm's reach away. WHAT THE FUCK. See? How does that make sense. It doesn't. If someone calls you sexist, you call them sexist. And hopefully the argument closes. Nothing else will work.

I haven't read all the posts but to reply to the earlier ones.. Not every woman gets as bad as Caska did in that scene but some do (I do!) I related to her in those moments more then thinking it was pathetic

So how many modern women today go fight rigorously with swords and armor on a grueling battle field on their periods anyway?

A show of hands will do.

War is a time of rape... midevil wartime was even more so.. you put a female on the battlefeild... combatants no longer have to go the villages to do their raping.. it's like putting in an express lane.. it's unfortunate but that's how war was back then.. muira paints a picture of how strong caska is because she overcomes (until the eclipse) these challenges... as far as the tentacle stuff goes... i wouldn't be much better off than caska... and i defy someone to say they would be

Also another reason she could have fallen is from stress,the rain, doing battle, and leading the men. With her on her period that makes it all that much harder. It wasn't the best reason, but still it does make sense. That she even went to battle is amazing showing just how tough she is I mean she is fighting men and is having to push extremely hard. That is showing how strong she is, she stopped Adon's attacks while other troops got slaughtered by him. That's an example on how tough her character is.

To the rape part of Berserk notice all those who did it are not good people, it is showing how evil and wrong rape is, not one person who had good character did such a thing only people with problems. Rape is also very real it happens all to much because people in reality are not good, always looking for their own self gain over anything else. So it is merely a reflection on human life so we can see how truly vile we are.

Just so you know, at last in the US, if the person says no at any point in time during sex, it then is not consensual. Even if you stop, the act of pulling out is rape and that person can be charged.

Rape is a serious issue.
