i do find it silly when people are so obsessed with sanitizing chainsaw man they claim that not only did denji never have any REAL sexual feelings towards makima bc she's a surrogate mother of sorts and that would be incest and thus bad (real arguments i have seen online), they'll either ignore the cannibalism thing or claim there are no sexual implications there. i have no idea how they interpret the fact that denji literally says that he wants to become one with her and that a literal child is borne from this action. bro idk how to make it clear to you that nayuta is supposed to be his and makima's metaphorical daughter.

chapter 83 might not feature explicit depiction of rape but like, even if you forget the grooming in previous chapters, it's very very clear that makima's abuse is sexual in nature as well as emotional. he's shell shocked and dazed and she gets all up in his physical space and orders him to take off his shirt. she reduces him to a child again, when he killed his father to protect himself against abuse (which.... is very likely to have been partially sexual in nature, considering denji's revulsion towards adult men), gets him to agree he deserves every bad thing that's happened to him and he has no right to be happy. and then it cuts to the next morning, where she's contently eating and he's lying down on the couch half naked, unable to speak or even think--and idk how people do NOT read this as the aftermath of rape. like, fujimoto might not have explicitly said "makima raped denji" and i'm not saying it happened 200% for sure, but oh boy does it read that way! and then the way makima talks about chainsaw man IS explicitly sexual. she's very very clearly aroused when speaking about chainsaw man eating her or killing her. so like, how do you fucking interpret denji fulfilling that wish of eating her, as he says he agrees that he doesn't deserve happiness and is still in love with her??? especially when it results in a child he takes in who very clearly reads as being the result of an incestuous and abusive relationship, and who denji vows he will take care of and end the cycle of abuse both he and makima endured????
