>>18929He's a okama, a gay, effeminate (but not passing) transvestite. They're campy, just like drag queens and Japan likes to make fun of them, but yeah him being a rapist was just bad taste.

It's probably outrageous on purpose. Like, it makes sense that you'll occasionally encounter outrageous people, and in a world with superpowers and stuff, that's magnified considerably.
So like, it's not supposed to be okay.

Well, he does look like a gigachad, so it's almost like the anime is saying that "be gay, do crime" is a gigachad philosophy

characters needing to be "okay" is so tiresome.

Not a fan of the series, but the character always seemed to me like an over the top parody of the way superhero characters often have some gimmicky "theme" to them that's often actually kind of gross if you think about it. Like, superheroes tend to be an exaggeration of certain elements of society and tend to align with upholding law and order of those societies. He's a parody of how burgers view correctional facilities and their warped idea of punitive carceral systems. I mean as much as burgers joke about prison rape and how it's "justice" that would surely make a superhero who goes around raping criminals an efficient dispenser of justice, right?
>>18936>some character goes like>>he only does it to criminals, so it's okay!>and the narrating voice retorts><(it really isn't)Yeah it sounds like they are making fun of western superheroes normalizing institutional violence.

>>18947It's made pretty clear that he rapes because he is homosexual not because of justice or whatever.

They do the same with straight characters though so why should a gay one be treated different? Japanese arent exactly known for having refined humour.
