[quote=Magic Magnum]Manga even has similliar plot lines...I mean there's one called "Yami no Purple eye" where essentially this girl can turn into a panther. She has a boyfriend who insults her and beats her constantly, a boyfriend whose reaction to some men trying to rape her was "How dare you go outside and put yourself in danger!", but he's painted as a good guy. This girl actually ends up getting raped by another boy... and the Manga shows genuine sympathy and care for the guy. There's a lot more horrid shit to it, but that brief description basically get's across the whole these guys are obviously complete shit heads... But their idolized. And this is a Manga that constantly gets high praise... Just think about that, a Manga whose hero beats their girlfriend, get's mad at her for being raped, and shows sympathy to the rapist is a highly praised Manga.
