If we do not find them soon, we shall be of no use
Ugh, considering I never even mentioned it one way or the other, I suppose the answer would be “No”, huh? Better luck next time.
Now back to the point…
I look at the rape in Berserk the same way I do the extreme violence (it's a part of that violence after all). They’re both ugly things, but I also see them as a part of the story, part of the realism, and correspondingly, a fact of life that can’t be ignored simply because it makes people uncomfortable. It’s this mentality that fuels the shame many victims feel, keeps many of them suffering in silence, and allows predators to thrive while everyone looks away. If people want to look at the scenes of rape in Berserk as entertainment, whether condemning it's presence or by getting aroused by it (same difference, in my opinion), that’s their choice, but I wouldn’t change the story because of society’s ills.

I respect what you said, but you have to admit that there has to be some sort of fan service or marketing involved. Otherwise why doesnt Miura depict male rapes scenes with the same intensity and frequency like with the females....why not you say? because they(young animal bigwigs) believe the majority probably dont want to see that. It must happen in the Berserk world afterall.
