Why isn't esdeath considered a pedophile sex offender

Esdeath as a villain conceptually is fine to me. I always just interpreted her character as the weird, evil sex offender who was obsessed with Tatsumi. I'm pretty sure one of her requirements was being young (at least younger than herself) (a minor). Kidnapping him, the whole Tatsumi/Esdeath subplot, was just really weird to me because it felt like the author was fetishizing sexual violence. Watching Esdeath lick Tatsumi's face was just really uncomfortable for me. I heard her behavior is even worse in the manga (I haven't read it, so correct me if I'm wrong). Allegedly, she tells her men to rape villages and etc.

The worst part is how the fandom interacts with it. Esdeath's dynamic with Tatsumi, portraying her affection as "pure and innocent," even though it was just really weird to me. I keep seeing comments like "Tatsumi fumbled the bag to go be with Mine" just because she's more conventionally attractive than Mine. Mine may not have massive breasts or anything, but she's a sweet girl. It all just makes me feel bad, like we're going backwards on villainizing sex offenders.

For context, I'm 17 F. Myself and some very close friends/family have had really bad experiences relating to SA, so I might be overly sensitive toward this topic. Sorry if this was preachy or anything.

Designing a cover for my Akame ga kill fanfic Part 2 (OC) | Please rate it :,)

Well, I just added a new character!

I know it hasn't been a day since my last design, but I won't lie, I got so hyped thanks to your feedback! Also, this character is a huge favorite of mine. Of course, the drawing might look a bit weird, so please bear with me—I'm not a digital artist, and this is literally my third time ever using a computer for designing. Plus, drawing Pumpkin's weapon took me forever, so sorry about that, I'll try to tweak it later!
100% NO AI!

Tatsumi deserved better.

The more I think about it, the more I believe Tatsumi was just a plot device, a way to introduce the story to readers (Tatsumi, like the reader, is ignorant, so the author can explain the story without forcing it, telling us about the corruption in the empire, the Teigu, and introducing all the characters), to make us fond of (through harem-comedy scenes) poorly developed characters (Sheele, Chelsea, and Leone), to humanize and make some characters more likable (Esdeath and Mine), and, finally, to push the story in a certain direction (he advocates for the defeat of important characters like Budo and Esdeath).

Seriously, Tatsumi was treated terribly, he doesn't have a real final enemy (even Mine has a final enemy like Seryu), he doesn't have any cool fights (even Wave has a cool fight like the one with Syura, Tatsumi gets kicked for half the manga, then evolves Incursio and becomes the support of the night raids, helps Mine kill Budo, helps the night raids destroy the last wild hunt and avenge Lubbock, but it wasn't him who killed Izou but Akame, it doesn't matter that Lubbock died indirectly because of Tatsumi so it would have been better if he had killed Izou and helped kill Esdeath, the final / most important and strongest enemy of the manga, it doesn't matter if he was the character closest to her and it would have made more sense if he had been the only one able to move during the time stop and the boy she loves who defeated her, which would have more justified the fact that Esdeath had lowered her guard / taken it easier / committed a mistake) and doesn't even choose the girl he wants to be with (in fact he settles for the first sane girl who confesses her love to him).

Fuck that guy who told me to watch this anime

What do you mean Tatsumi dies ?? Isn't he supposed to be the main character?

All the characters are dying and stuff then you go and give Akame the plot against Es at the end ?? No way she could have won without plot armour!!

I don't even know what to feel about this anime anymore, this is a great and worst anime in my pov..

9/10 ( with Mine it's 10/10 )

Akame is against AI "fanarts". Good moment to post this (again).

Guys, we dont care if you dont know draw well. We prefer that your fanart isnt perfect and lacks of quality instead of AI bullshit. Try to draw, it's free

Every fucking post here is ai now and I’m sick of it

I swear literally just a few months ago it wasn’t like this, why the fuck is everyone in this sub suddenly an ai “artist?” No one wants to see ugly AI shit, please just learn to draw or don’t post at all.

An alternate ending for Tatsumi. And giving AI the benefit of the doubt.

Here’s an alternate ending for Tatsumi I created here, where he ends up with all three women, Sayo, Mine and Esdeath. Now I know some people are going to roast and slay me in the comment section because I’m using AI and not to mention telling me that I’m no artist or writer which is BS cause I am. I’m just going to keep doing what I love and ignore the naysayers/haters out there, cause haters are gonna hate no matter what. And I can’t please everyone which is the sad truth. I understand that a lot of folks are totally against AI art and that they think it’s a disgrace to several of folks. But has it ever accured to the haters that there are people out there who are not good at drawing and writing? I’m one of the folks that has decided to give AI the benefit of the doubt and not just automatically hating and shitting on it for no apparent reason.

Anyway, I think I’ve said my piece. If you don’t have anything nice to say to this artwork, then don’t bother saying anything. And if you have anything nice to say about this artwork, then leave a comment and be honest.

"I'm home, capital" - Esdeath

Do not look, just follow your life, or you gonna have to take some "disciplinary measures" by her

u/ViolinistOk7898 — 3 days ago

Cosplayed this character and I dont think anyone know who it was. Thought it might be appreciated somewhat hear.

It was super fun to stich the neck piece and make the flute. One of my fav characters from the show.

u/Available_Day6527 — 3 days ago

I just got this idea to start a series where we use AGK characters to represent tarot cards

So lets start with The Fool, which represents: innocence, new beginnings, free spirits (when upright), and recklessness, being taken advantage of, inconsideration (when reversed)

Most upvoted reply or most replies suggesting the same character gets picked

POV: You are Jin Kisaragi

The General Esdeath wants her Major! >3<

I'll probably do a Jin and Narmaya version next. Then Tatsumi and Mine (Akame Ga Kill!)

If I got the time, maybe I'll finally do a Ragna and Velvet version. Wish me luck!

What if alucard worked for mine?

So im taking this far far back, all the way to when mine was being bullied as a child. I wana say that either alucard was in some rundown building but now that I think about it, maybe a tomb would be good. So mines local bullies being kids and adults decided to try and kill mine or keep her in some tomb which they struck mines head or smth which made mines blood spill onto the pavement next to the mummified corpse of alucard which then sparked a violent feast for alucard and once he finished, he looked at mine and mine thought she was going to be eaten also but instead she was greeted by him kneeling at her and calling her master.

It has been a while since I watched hellsing but I still think it's a cool concept and also a fun one. I'd love to see weather or not if alucard would be a father figure to mine or not. Ofc id love to keep her tsundere spark but I think with alucard she might not have it? Idk but overall I thought of this a while back and wanted to see how everyone thinks of this idea.
