The very real reality of male sexual assault victims is often glamorized or shrugged off in our society, and I thought it would be very interesting to look into the pressing issue of their often-dismissed struggles using one of my favorite pieces of recent media. In this video, I discuss the intersection of societal attitudes, including the influence of anime culture, and the profound impact it has on how we treat male victims. I highly recommend Chainsaw Man if you like Jujutsu Kaisen or more “”comedic” mangas.

    also something I forgot to mention but Denji’s stupidity is played for laughs but people forget that canonically he has never gone to school and basically raised himself. Its not like he was intended to be comic relief and a lot of his fights such as the hotel one shows hes actually pretty clever. The fact that one of his dreams for regular life is to go to school is a big part of this
    ANOTHA EDIT: i didnt expect this vid to be this popular in views, so if i left out some manga parts like Fumiko or other scenes it was because I figured more people have watched the anime or finished Act 1 versus people who are up to date. Definitely need to treat every vid with confidence that itll blow up and reach who its supposed to reach.

    This is more about adult women taking advantage of young boys, but this is what I think. As an adult, it's your responsibility to protect and take care of younger people. It's your responsibility to understand what is and isn't right to do with a minor. Regardless of if "You're hot" or "They liked it" it doesn't matter. Understand the vulnerability of puberty and adolescence, and BE A GOOD PERSON. Taking advantage of underage people, regardless of sex or gender, is wrong. People tend to forget that.

    As someone who was a male victim I really think chain saw man is to overly edgy and filled with degeneracy to get behind. What anime helped me was one piece because all these guys suffered hard but are stronger because of it. This is all my opinion

    There's a Manga I discovered yesterday called sensitive boy in which the first point addresses and tackles female on male SA. The Mc was r🦧d by a trainee teacher when he was in middle school and the Manga does a really good job at addressing this issue. It's really good and I'd recommend it… But ts is sad af.

    We all get manipulated in our lifes. Male and Female. It is a natural part in growing up as we all tend to experiment with our different abilities, Sexual or emotional Manipulation included and we stick to it for a while. This is something you can't erase from humanity. Most of us grow out of toxic behaviors like this in our early to late twenties. I think your analysis is a little unfair, maybe. It seems to me that the female characters are all pretty young(and emotionally damaged themself). A big part in becoming an adult is to learn to recognize dangerous characters and that works through experience alone. It is just that those characters live in an enviroment where all of this is extremly dangerous. You can compare that to what young humans do to each other in countries with war or other extreme situations, while you are judging it from the standpoint of safehaven western country. And while it is true, that their behavior is absolutely awful, its a big reason why we as civilizations tend to not give too much power to people under 30 and most of us don't use very young people as soldiers(accusatory look to the US). The world of chainsaw man shows why we have those rules and more importantly shows that it is imperative to look after psychologically damaged children and youngsters to reduce the possibility of such broken characters to occur in the first place. You take away every responsibility from denji because hard life blabla-victimization, but on the other hand ignore that the female characters also are like they are because of hard life blabla. To some extend we all get damaged through our young life, the question is how much is good and necessary and how much is too much. I know guys who had their first time at age 10 who somewhat lost their ability to manage relationships with women and i do know guys who are 40y o virgins and who would have loved beeing used for s** at some point in their teens before they completely lost their ability to manage females at all by never experiencing anything. Sometimes we get hurt to much and build walls and sometimes we get hurt too little. My first girlfriend was 19 while i was 16 and she made the first move(not even had a kiss before) and later I had a relationship with a 32y o at age 17 and it never was a problem for me(she was a little bit crazy). I was thankful. Without those two i maybe would have ended up as the 40y o virgin because i needed someone to brake the walls i've set up. Respect peoples experiences and take them serious but don't victimize them and don't judge without detailed knowledge of the specific situation. Instead just listen to them. They will tell you.

    As a dude, I cried when Denji spoke to the weird eye girl when they were in the car I believe,

    and he explained how he is easily persuaded by kindness of a woman..

    I never realized how easily manipulated I am, until recently & rethinking all my childhood trauma

    kinda reminds me of the quote they tell fathers with their daughter,
    "You better tell her you love her, before someone you don't want to will."

    Chat. I 100% couldve gotten groomed before. As a fantasy i guess its fine. Its kinda disgusting because every relationship has been the same and the only time the person has been genuine. I pushed them away because I thought it was fake. It broke me for a bit.

    just hearing him talk about the various scenes in chainsaw man is why i don't watch it and any other anime in general. Only ever really liked demon slayer because of how wholesome it was, (Plus the epic fight scenes, (And tadano))

    I agree with you. its very sad. I don't understand those who think he's 'lucky' for being assaulted by an older, powerful and evil women who happens to be attractive. It is a great manga and a great show. But people take it the wrong way, and its horrible. He is a young kid who went through a lot just right off the bat, then when involved in the story further, he is faced with her grooming. I know its fine to watch it once or read it once and maybe not think too much about it as it feels on the 'sidelines' of the story, it is an important thing to think about/theme to consider for Denji as a character… he is desperate for just the basic needs having lived much of his life on the bottom of the pyramid. In the manga where I am, he is at a very low point, and I am interested to know what will happen next. He truly does come to realize that Makima is terrible in more ways then one, and I hope the author will continue to criticize the things that were done to him so far in the story as a sort of lesson and to truly take home the theme of being taken advantage by those with more power, and what it means to have purpose despite never having had the chance to actually chose before he is given his powers. He presents very simple desires like food and relationships because he's been so starved of those things. I think his character is an interesting one to follow because of his background and way of thinking. As we go forward, he will be able to clime the pyramid of human needs and likely alongside that, his powers will grow, too.

    denjis hyper sexuality and asa’s disgust kinda reflect how i felt. i wouldn’t say i was groomed, but i was influenced and in a lot of questionable situations, especially and almost exclusively online. i have a headcanon that i acknowledge could and very possibly is unrealistic/not canon to the actual character. but i feel like asa is asexual. with the way i connect to her and her disgust with sex makes me project myself in this way. but i also relate to denjis breakdown of his hyper sexuality and how much he’s been taken advantage of to the point of it clouding his vision. but perhaps that’s just me and my religious guilt and my perception of purity. either way, i still am astounded at how much people have seen a piece of media like this so blatantly calling out the struggles regarding the topic of men and sex and interpret it the completely opposite way. even as someone who needs to reread the manga i caught on very early to the themes of grooming and SA, it’s not that fujimoto’s writing is bad, the people are blatantly ignoring it.

    I used to not take the whole "male victims don't get taken seriously enough" thing as an exaggeration (mostly due to being naive,) and figured it was just an uncommon case thing.

    I wish it was something I didn't have to learn firsthand

    1:26 The character shown doing sign language is a s*x worker and thats kinda the point for her to be s*xualized. Thats her job. Spend more time editing and researching, and less time preaching.

    As someone who only watched the anime, Himeno immediately stepped away from Denji when she found out he was 16/underage… is this different in the manga? Otherwise she’s not really a pedophile but just way too horny from craving intimacy like Denji early on

    Sexual assault against men or perpetrated by women needs to be taken more seriously, anyone can be a victim or an agressor.

    You're why I actually finally watched the show after contemplating it for some time. After I watched I couldnt help but want to protect Denji my heart broke for him. Time and time again he was failed by everyone around him. He had no idea what was happening to him wasnt okay. He never had anyone there to protect him only Pochita. It breaks my heart for everyone.

    Human beings don't want to accept or believe in vulnerability because they don't want to be hurt or believe you can be. Victims are PROOF they CAN be harmed. As, children, teens, adults, no matter what gender. By family, friends, partners, strangers, etc. It is apparent it could be happening to someone, and it COULD be them, or someone close to them. The victim or the ab*ser. There's nothing to escape that fear. So they cope.
    Common coping responses against victims are: dismissal, denial, fictionalizing/fantasizing ab*se ("If it were me, I would-"), avoidance, apathy, blame, etc.
    Mechanisms to protect themselves from the true reality of experience emotionally, psychologically and/or s*xually. They'd rather be in their delusions of ab*se than the reality of it. Because it is EXCRUCIATING and unbearable to deal with the aftermath.
    It isn't even exclusive for ignorants to be dissmissive or cruel to victims. Logically you'd think that because you went through a similar experience you'd be understood, cared for/supported. But unfortunately, that isn't automatically the case. Victims can also be unhealthily coping from their ab*se and/or others experiences.
    Even from other victims and survivors you can be attacked for responding in ways they didn't with their own ab*se, and suffering and struggling in ways they arent, in the aftermath.
    Because while victims may have similar experiences externally, the internal experience could be completely different due to what specific person they are and the things they had to do to get through it. People do ultimately try to waterdown ab*se, neglect and the trauma they suffered, because they don't want to be deeply affected/hurt by the worse experience of their lives.

    It is harsh; but more people than we'd ever like to admit, are NOT genuinely invested in understanding how we feel and the support needed, and often don't even care too, because it is so painful, uncomfortable, complex, etc.
    Many people pretend, because it is seen as nice or good to do so, like some status symbol of goodness. They go "I'm here for you if you wanna talk about it." then tell you to "Get help" when you open up to them.

    I was s*xually ab*sed by my father in early childhood. Someone literally told me "He just touched you." "At least it was your dad." "Oral isn't "real r*pe." There are people who think it is better to be harmed young because you won't remember it.
    Even 3 yrs old I remember it.
    They just don't care, once it happens our safety just doesn't concern them.

    This place is NOT the understanding caring comforting world for victims people claim it is. Not for ANYONE. I know it SUCKS but somehow you gotta learn to accept it, be there for yourself, find and be with the people who GENUINELY are there to love and support you. Unconditionally.❤

    im never been in the csm fandom, but i do have lots of csm media come up to me at random (due to my friends really liking it)
    but i've been on a pretty decent side of the fandom, where they acknowledged Denji quite literally getting assaulted.. but at one point I did see a video about Denji being a victim, and god.. there were so many people just shrugging it off. It was horrifying for me to look at because I know the comments would be different if he was a female. 'I wish i was him' type of comments everywhere on that video. Its truly disgusting.
