well, okay, utena was using anthy the worst out of the duelists. akio was... akio.

though i'm not sure i would choose "school dance and complete humiliation simply for existing" over "nonviolent rape" if given the option.

not everyone has the same priorities.

[(Anonymous)]

...Nanami was the one who humiliated Anthy at the dance, not Utena.

I don't agree that Utena was the worst out of the duelists. The others were just as bad as her. No, they were worse. She is, as people have mentioned, the only duelist to realise her mistake, apologise for it, and change the way she acted because of it.

but utena made her go, and forced her into the spotlight after her dress was ruined.

i did, amazingly, watch the series i feel so strongly about.

[kayleen-san.livejournal.com]

Anthy was put in the spotlight the second the dress started falling apart--which was Nanami's doing. They do dance after Utena shields Anthy, but like I said, all eyes were already on her.

[(Anonymous)]

Utena didn't know that the dress thing would happen to Anthy, and she wasn't trying to draw attention to it once it happened, either. You're blaming the wrong person. Nanami was the main person at fault there.

I'll draw an analogy. Say that Person X hands Person Y a slice of chocolate cake and says "It's delicious! You really should eat it." Person Y might or might not want the chocolate cake: we don't know. But then, Person Z comes along, takes the cake, and violently slams it into Person Y's face. Person X tries to help clean up the mess. By your logic, Person X would be the most blameworthy person. But they aren't.

I don't want to sound mean here (though I probably will inadvertently) but you're blaming the wrong person unfairly, and it sounds as if there are personal issues mixed up in this for you which are clouding your judgement.

[anamatics.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that really really really was not Utena, it was Nanami. Utena saved the situation from actually being worse for Anthy. Try again.

[kaasen.livejournal.com]

I think I can see your point that Utena tried to guide Anthy's life more than the other duelists. But the other duelists seemed to be fighting for her to get the the power to bring the revolution, which is really just as selfish as using her to put on a performance as a prince. But are you saying you would have rather had her slapped around by Saionji? Miki and Juri probably wouldn't have treated her badly, but they didn't seem to have the strength to try to change Anthy's situation. I truly think Utena was trying to help, even if her reasons were misguided and she was uninformed, which sometimes made the situation worse.

Is it your opinion that Utena is worse, or Akio? You call it nonviolent rape, but we don't really know. We saw Akio pull Anthy towards her in a rough manner when she was hesitant to come to him in one episode, so it's possible she just lays there and takes it to avoid retaliation. Also, rape doesn't need to be physically violent to really take a toll on a person. If you could call an experience like going to a dance and suffering utter humiliation harmful, then I'm sure you can see that even without physical abuse, rape is also extremely violating.
