So how many male superheroes have sexual abuse in their origin story? How about we say no more abusive origins for females until the men have caught up?"<BR/> <BR/>I seriously thought about this one, and amazingly, two of my favorite "heroes" (and in their cases I use the term VERY loosely)in manga both have sex abuse present in their origins. Guts (Berserk, which is heavily glossed over in the anime) and Alucard (!) (Hellsing, back when he was a human and a child over a century earlier). In Gut's case, this was done with an amazing amount of realism because rather than just a shock prop device to explain his bad temper, it caused Guts a lot of realistic emotional problems for much of his later life in the story, including an aversion to being touched (especially if you're a giant black man, which Pippen finds out the hard way), and a rather scary moment after his "first time" with Casca (totally missing in the anime).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994365.post-1161619940221849222006-10-23T17:12:00.000+01:002006-10-23T17:12:00.000+01:00I read this article too, and found it to be condes...I read this article too, and found it to be condescending and a tad on the arrrogant side.
