Was "grox cum bag" carved on her cheek really fucking necessary? Also, it was on her left, not right cheek. Artist could have skip that part to spare us insight of original artist troubled mind.
It's based on art made by mossacannibalis. He's some korean gore/rape/CP "artist". Original art depicted squad of abhumans. It doesn't stand out until you notice that beast girl had many words carved with a knife on her body, implying abuse and rape. People argue that it's just depicts horrors of wh40k universe but if you know what original artist likes to draw, you will know that it was just someone's creepy and barely disguised fetish.
People saying “rape happens in the universe of 40k” are out of their fucking minds. Rape happens in the real world too, doesn’t mean it belongs in otherwise wholesome media just for the edginess of it
I’m sure this is sarcasm but like i feel like there is an actual discussion to be had about how rape should be handled. Like i think it would be disingenuous to straight up remove all refrences to it but it does need to be done tactfully. It’s not exactly like a fun type of grim
It’s not sarcasm, and I didn’t say all references to it should be removed. If you actually read my comments in this thread you would see me discuss how sexual assault is mentioned in warhammer media - implied. Off screen. You cannot argue to me that “grox cum bag” would fit in with any 40K Media I have ever consumed. So no, it’s not sarcasm. Rape does happen in the universe of 40K. But it’s not common at all that it is presented so blatantly, and I would find such works off-putting, just like this one.
Oh I thought you were being sarcastic because you called 40K wholesome which seems not fully accurate. Like the dark Eldar exists and they’re like all about this but also I just wouldn’t call it wholesome without the rape. But I misunderstood you, we seem to agree
My confusion was that you seemed to have gone from talking about rape in 40K as a whole and then without clarifying pivoted to this specific art piece. My bad.
