^^ Both of you have good points. After all sexual harassment and molestation is taken pretty lightly in most of manga and anime. Still the whole point of the overreacting gag, is that the listener completely misinterprets what they have been told, hearing, something innocent and imaging something lewd. Akiho came to the right conclusion, just wrong gender. I think the fact the author thought that would be funny, reflects the author's underling feelings about lesbian sex. It implies Fuuka being sexually stalked by horrible sex crazed men, BAD! Fuuka being sexually stalked by horrible sex crazed women Okay. Otherwise what the hell is funny about it.
I think you are overthinking the whole situation. Sexual harassment is used as a joke not just in Japan but all over the world (I'm not saying that is right, just presenting the fact) and for me the joke was that the new girl is dead on on her assumptions just mistaking the genders, Whit again, is a comum joke. I don't think the author is trying to say lesbian sex is inferior, they are just using comum jokes lol
Yeah, I realised that after jintor and Boob Twinkler (sorry but that handle makes me cringe) pointed it out. The sexual harassment being made light of as a wholes was just an after thought anyway.
I don't think I'm over thinking my main point about the author implying het sexual molestaion BAD! lesbian sexual molestation okay. Because I reached that conclusion through one simple thought: I don't get it. I finished the chapter thinking huh why is that funny?
I've seen that gag done in manga and anime literaly dozens of times. The comedy stems from the person listening, misunderstanding and jumping to the hilariously wrong conclusion that their friend is being taken advantage of. Except in this case Akiho was pretty much dead on. Only making the understandable mistake, that the sexual predators after Fuuka are male. So the only thing I could think of is the gender asumption is the hilarious misunderstanding,, and the only way that is funny, is if being taken advantage of by men, BAD, being taken advantage of by other women, okay.
But hay I could easily proven wrong by Akiho's reaction when she meets said sexual predators.
