So I read "Back When You Called Us Devils"

Yeah, it had a lot of rape. I'd even go as far as to say it had too much rape which I previously didn't think was even possible, pretty much all of it was only strongly implied so it was some of the most tasteful rape I've seen but still, that's a lot of fucking rape. I usually hate stories with excessive amounts of mature and traumatic subject matter because it's easy for them to just be meaningless misery porn that makes you feel like shit for no reason but this story really made rape, gang rape and rape gangs really count for something and I'd highly recommend it especially if you're a rapist, it might convince you to aimlessly wander the streets for 20+ years and do nothing with your life besides hating yourself and quietly suffering. I'd easily rate this one a 6/10 which might sound to some like a bad score to some but to break it down a bit, the first arc is totally solid and near perfect, the 2nd arc is good but stumbles a lot towards the end and the 3rd arc is just bad and betrays the whole point of the manga plus it doesn't even have any rape in it. Either way, it's not a very long read and I highly recommend it. TL;DR - Read the manga in the title if you wanna read a meaningful story about rape

Alright, I'll read it myself and judge whether it is good or not.

    I know this isn't a serious post but I'm gonna respond seriously. I really liked the story. It got me thinking about whether or not a person can be truly irredeemable. Like if Adolph Hitler woke up one morning and genuinely realized, "holy shit, I'm a monster. What have I done?" Like, what would he do at that point? What could he do? Is there no coming back? If we collectively say no, there isnt, then his only real option is to continue being an evil piece of shit. From that point on every act of evil he commits is as much our responsibility as his, because we had the chance to accept his desire to change, but refused it.
