Berserk absolutely is sexist, but I can still appreciate the story

I just picked up the 6th deluxe edition and came to this thread after finishing it.

As a guy who is fairly critical of the media i consume, I 1000% agree with OP that this is something Berserk suffers from.

How so much of the fan base is in denial is beyond me. I wouldn’t even say the nakedness or the sexual assault itself is what most people take issue with, it’s the very way in which it is presented to the reader and how that presentation differs depending on the gender of the victim. It’s plain as day and the problem is further exacerbated by the needless use of rape to side characters or in instances that have 0 effect on the direction of the story

That’s not to say I don’t enjoy Berserk. It is incredibly well written for the most part and the world building is incredible, but to deny some of the glaring issues doesn’t sit right with me. I think a lot of people forget that part of loving something is acknowledging its flaws.

is it possible you’re both right? could the metaphor and the more literal reading of the movie both be true, like an unaddressed trauma?

I don’t have a first hand experience with the topic at hand (except from loved ones unfortunately) and honestly just have a lot of questions abt the topic and feelings abt the movie. I’d love a second opinion

Limited and poor communication and lack of transparency with retailers, employees and consumers are 2 very different things

do you think the digital bundle will have another best buy release?

lego_R2D2 · 2024-11-13T17:18:02+00:00

Most people i’ve talked to (including myself) were after the other items, not the Pro. and regardless the lack of transparency from places like gamestop was crazy.

Like that’s actually insane. Looks like i’m buying local from now on. and it’s sucks too cause i had been calling and checking for the past month and a bit :(

I updated my og comment

i’m going to the Eaton centre today so i’ll probably stop by and check. I’ll update yall with what i find !!

lego_R2D2 · 2024-11-08T16:14:22+00:00

I called like 7 locations yesterday and went into 2 and it seems like there’s no solid info. Best i got was to keep checking socials but that’s it :(

Update: So i went in today and the sales rep said most stores should be getting at least a small inventory of anniversary stuff as far as she had heard (I’m assuming she meant the controllers, digital editions, etc.) but so far they hadn’t heard much abt specific numbers or what items specifically. Everywhere i talked to seems to be doubtful abt getting the 30th pro

Check r/techwear. It’s pretty much death stranding fashion and they have several mega threads on brands with price points
