"Well, *ahem*, did you ever consider that RAPE is not usually a good thing?"
Wh-what?? NO!
Heehee. Well, I WAS kidding, hence the little disclaimer where I said that I was, um, kidding.
As in...
[kidding] But Diva's a woman. Women can't rape!! And even if they could, it would be funny and cool. [/kidding]
I think that that has been covered in the episode 13 thread, though.
It's obviously the producers of the episode meant for that scene to be comedic, whereas it likely wouldn't be so if it were a schoolgirl (even an insane, mass-murdering schoolgirl) and a ridiculously dressed Emperor. Or..wait...
*thinks of Dall and Quawool*
Never mind.
(ok, so Quawool isn't a mass murder. *dramatic music* That we KNOW of, anyway!)
I think it does fit into "these things wouldn't be funny if they really happened" territory, though. Then, we would have the "hilarious alcoholic" Fujisawa, "lots 'o laughs" rapist lesbians Alielle and Fatora, and the giggle-worthy mass murder/schizophrenic Jinnai.
It's a bit like Excel Saga...what else can you say about a show starring one girl that's always dying, and another one who's always trying to eat her dog? 0_o
