So... remember how I made a post like a week and a half ago about Konosuba?

So... I decided to read the TV tropes page for it, and somehow, someway, it got even worse than I thought it was originally...


So, if you don't know what Konosuba is, it's a type of anime called an isekai (A character from one world is reincarnated into another). In this case, that guy's name is Kazuma. He is reincarnated with the help of Aqua (A bumbling moron that claims to be a water goddess). Along the way, they meet a witch named Megumin, and a noble knight named Darkness. Wacky hijinks ensue. Basically, the show is cringey and full of "the deed" jokes.

I was reading the TV tropes, and somehow the show's image got even worse for me.

Now on the list of best to worst MCs. Aqua is surprisingly the best of the worst, in this case, her constant drinking and partying are the least of my problems with the show. Good job Aqua! You being useless actually paid off for once.

Next up is the witch Megumin! The only thing I ever hear about her is that she is and over-sexualized minor. Hopefully, she isn't sexualized too much by anyone in the show, herself or otherwise. (Listen, I get that Japan's standards are lower than the US. But you gotta admit that this is just disgusting to be sexualizing minors like this)

Next up, we got the main character of main characters in Konosuba, Kazuma. Kazuma is a pervert, which sucks because he is also the one, we are stuck with for the entire duration of the show. Now here's the thing, I've seen clips of him and in one scene he is lying in bed with a total stranger (Who looks like a minor) as he is playing with her fingers. Not only is that creepy and pervy, but it also makes me wonder why he gets away with it.

Darkness can go die in a fire for all I care. Out of all of them, she is the worst MC in konosuba. First of all, she has routinely shown that she has fetishes. VERY VERY VERY, BLANTANT FETISHES MIND YOU! She has a gigantic fetish for pain and torture, which just makes me think of how this adds to her character in any meaningful way. But the fetish stuff isn't the worst part about her... that would be the fact that she is a pervert...

(Oh but guesty, why didn't you put darkness in the same spot as kazuma if both of them are perverts)?

BECAUSE DARKNESS BEING A PERVERT IS 100X WORSE THAN KAZUMA, AND FOR ONE GIANT REASON.

So, I was reading her TV tropes character page, and I looked around for tropes of hers. When I got to the letter B's, I saw something that immediately came off as a red flag. Now, I'm not gonna say its actual name, but just know I will be calling it "Black Comedy Grape" from now on.

It had a spoiler block on the entire description, so I clicked it and removed the spoiler block. What I saw after made my jaw drop to the floor. When I read it the first time, I thought that "grape" was a part of her backstory or something... I was wrong... DEAD wrong... Darkness wasn't a "grape" victim...

Darkness. WAS. The. Grapist.

She tries to "Grape" Kazuma in one scene, if it wasn't for Megumin and Aqua walking into the room, Darkness most likely would have done it.

Being a pervert is bad in any regard, but "grape" should not be brought upon anyone. I wouldn't wish "grape" upon my worst enemies.

I get it "Oh it's supposed to be a black comedy joke, LAUGH, HAHAHAHA" Yeah but here's the thing, there is a gigantic line between dark comedy, and full-on vulgar content.

Is anyone up for the darkness hate train?

Thanks for coming to my rant about Konosuba!
