General reminder that if you're too shy to talk to people, you're the asshole.
How does that work?
People have to expend more effort in order to talk to you and when you're stand offish it's pretty God damn rude.
This of course only applies too shy people in social situations. If you stay inside all day you're not ruining anyone's good time.
well that's stupid
what if I find everyone else rude for trying to talk to me when I would like anything but?
dietrich is literally a troll, just ignore him
I'm literally a human being.

Don't put yourself in a situation where you should be social.

She was depressed. She NEEDED to commit a crime ok?
No one ever said this, but the crime was understandable and excusable.
No it isn't. No wealthy person should ever steal anything.
The amount of money she has is irrelevant. She could've bought the coat if she wanted to, but she had a clinical condition.
She just needed some help
Do I have to link you to the ten scientific articles explaining that kleptomania is a known symptom of depression again? She got help after the trial and does far more good for the global community through donations and charity work than you or Challenger ever will. She's made up more than enough for that single instance of petty theft.
So it was a cry for help
yes, not a publicity stunt like you constantly regurgitate
But I mean, she was back in the public eye. Like she wanted.

In other news Jim is an evil mastermind.
And anyone claiming to be a nice guy is either:
A. Fugly or
B. Too fucking autistic to actually ask
someone out.

Wouldn't they be too shy to be an asshole?
Being shy is precisely why they are an asshole. See above.

I have a first pressing of Dredgescum's "Gagged and Mutilated" on vinyl.

your avatar is adorable
Thanks. Is your avatar a sketch you drew yourself? It's awesome by the way.
lol, I wish! It's just a drawing of Veronica Sawyer, one of my favorite characters of my favorite actress. Thank you, though!
I could have sworn it was her mug shot from her cry for help.

That being said, it's still one of my favorite anime and even the new adaptation with its awful animation is still pretty stellar.

Yet still manages to be a strong character nonetheless.
I thought Verbatim would like that virtually all sex is portrayed negatively.
And in general, I'd hate to grow attached to some cool character only to watch them get raped. That's, like... No.
i feel like expanding on this a bit because this can easily be misconstrued as me not wanting anything bad to happen to female characters, which is what a lot of anti-fems seem to think about statements like that
Conflict is the most important thing about any story--without conflict, there is no story. If a character isn't put through hell in some way, then there's no reason to care about their life or whatever it is they're trying to accomplish.
Here's the thing, though--you still have to write conflict well. You can't have what's called "conflict for the sake of conflict," or conflict for the sake of moving the plot forward, instead of being an organic presence throughout the story.
When I say I don't want to see a female character get raped, it's not just because rape is an unpleasant and extremely touchy subject matter that makes me viscerally uncomfortable. I loved the Millenium trilogy (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, etc), and that series is filled with rape--BUT, it still managed to write them in intelligent and non-indulgent ways. They disgusted me, but they never offended me. The rape scenes are not erotic--they're disturbing, as they should be. They're not trying to entice the viewer--they want the victim to rise up later in the film and KILL that motherfucker. Or whatever. Revenge plots are lazy, but satisfying--it's the easiest way to pull off a rape scene without making me cringe with how edgy you're trying to be.
Berserk goes out of its way to take the offensive route. It tries to make it erotic--you can tell by the way the scenes are drawn. That's what I take umbrage with. And if what Dietrich is saying is correct, the fact that her character gets basically destroyed afterwards certainly doesn't do it any favors for me.
So I'm not saying women can never get raped in fiction--just, if you're gonna try it out, you have to do it with respect--and that's clearly not Berserk's mission statement. Berserk is just A Serbian Film--dumb shock value of the sake of dumb shock value. Edge for the sake of edge. I see no value in that.
It's actually one of the more moving moments in the show. The anime handled it a lot better imo and you didn't see what was happening, it wasn't meant to entice. Guts' whole crew is murdered by demons and as a final fuck you his arm is chewed off and he's forced to watch the woman he loves being raped while a demon holds him down and gouges out his eye. And here lies the problem. She is raped to develop his character. The entire scene was meant for you to emphasize with Guts and to show that he literally has nothing left. Casca, instead of just dying like the rest of the crew, is kept around as a reminder of the terrible things that he endured, without any sort of redemption for her. I get that is a pivotal part of the story and it hits you like a ton of bricks when it happens but let's not pretend she's treated with respect or that she was anything but motivation for Guts.

It's because of the water, isn't it?
this is what the refrance
Wait... so are you telling me Ender has actually read part of Homestuck?
"Part"
Have you ever tried reading all of Homestuck? it's literally over 8000 pages.
She's five, she's got nothing but time
Did Ryle get her into it? Was it my constant subliminal allusions to it? Who did this?
I don't even know what we're talking about
Dammit Dietrich, don't get my hopes up like this. It's unfair.
You do know she's five right?

Casca also gets raped and gives birth to a demon baby...
Casca herself, not the events surrounding her. She's a strong character with her own personality, and isn't just there for eye candy (since, y'know, she wears full body armor and not a string bikini or whatever).
She was also raped to move the plot forward.
Yet still manages to be a strong character nonetheless.
I thought Verbatim would like that virtually all sex is portrayed negatively.
She gives birth to a rape baby, loses her memory, forgets guts and the love she had for him, and then becomes a non character. She's a fucking child afterward.
If Miura wanted fans to view her as a tragic figure fallen from glory he should have emphasized her regularly and with Guts, not pushed into the background and babysat by a less relevant character (Farmesse) for the majority of their adventures. Miura does have scenes of her and Guts, reminding fans that their relationship is still fragmented, but the story events take precedence for too long and their situation loses its immediacy. Casca can (probably) be healed by the fairy queen (smh) anyway.
Her life is ruined for plot. This is not how you respect your female characters.
I think Miura succeeded with eclipse in what he wanted to establish. It provides the reader with a clear sense of Guts' motives for vengeance, and we can empathize with him. I think Miura had enough for Guts to swear vengeance without Casca's rape, Spoiler but if you look at Griffith's past actions, it makes sense why he does it. He's a covetous and spiteful character.
Again you're just proving my point. She becomes a motivation, a plot point, not a person.
I was adding more ideas to broaden the discussion if anyone wanted to.
I like to argue very specific points because I'm unable to understand broader concepts. My brain is full of holes from the drugs and alcohol.
