i don’t like how a lot of older rgu analysis that i find is so scared of using the word rape. even if you think anthy, utena, and touga’s relationships with akio are “consensual” (which whatever. that’s a topic for another day) that is a man in his mid 20s and three teenagers, two of which are middle schoolers, one of which being his little sister. definitionally statutory rape. like i feel insane when i see people call episode 33 “akio’s seduction of utena” or when people dance around the subject of akio molesting anthy and touga on an episodic basis. everyone needs to get more woke
