I suppose a good counterargument would be to not give this manga too much thought. Creative freedom, you know? I understand. I guess I've gotten too accustomed to genuinely criticizing works of fiction (ーー;)
Omg i literally thought the same thing!!! The way the women were portrayed in this manga made me a little uncomfortable
Umm chicken ripped what...why...why...i was about to read this but why
i love horror stories. the more gore the better. but honestly, i found myself wrinkling my nose at this one. a lot of the gore is overly focused on cruelty towards the female characters in particular. A girl gets her breast ripped out, another has a chicken literally ENTER her VAGINA and rip out her UTERUS, all while her weirdly conscious head says "hey, thats my uterus" after being torn from her body. It felt distasteful at that point. I am okay with seeing women die in fiction. Equality, right? But it felt overdone here. The particular cruel deaths were reserved for the women. It was almost.. sexualized gore. At some point a girl runs towards our MC and literally says "Save me! I'll let you fuck me for the rest of my life!" While pulling her shirt up to expose her breasts. Immediately afterwards, a chicken pecks through her skull and face. At that moment I was just....... WHAT? I am all for equality, which means if men die gruesome deaths then so should women. But I'm not seeing men have their penises ripped from their body with their intenstines dangling? I'm not seeing men have chicken peck through the anuses to rip out their organs? The sexualized deaths are kept only for the women. And I say sexualized, because even the MC's sister is weirdly sexualized. She is wearing booty shorts and thigh highs in the middle of an apocalypse, while her brother is wearing camo. That was a deliberate sexualized design choice that has no reason to exist in this scenario where they need to blend in to survive? I would understand if her fit was also in camo, but its in a BRIGHT COLOR?? She's utterly useless to the plot too! Just slaps the other characters who try to defend their family. I tried to give this one a shot, as someone who loves horror and apocalypse scenarios; but honestly this one was too much for even me.. someone who is very seasoned with gore! I would give this another chance, but without the sexualized violence. If you're going to be sexually gory, then be sexually gory towards all characters. Those are my two cents.
