Damn people...you guys got all serious about the show, fanservice, and boobies.
This kind of thing isn't rare nowadays and it's meant to attract male viewers, with the other side of attracting female once, considering that the main character is a woman.
It is offensive in a way...yes, but it's probably a way to show a woman's pride, rather than being embarrassed about it. Thinking of it like how a man with a toned body strips his clothes off.
Anyways, if this were dangerous in any way, like promoting rape, I'm sure the dozens or even hundreds of animes and even mangas we've already watched should've made us into beasts by now. It's like how some parents describe video games that promote violence, which is clearly stupid. Sure it's bloody as hell, but they won't just run amok murdering everyone.
The thing is it's all in how people see it. Not all of us has the same mindset. You see it as promoting sex, some find if intriguing, some offended, some even fascinated, while others just see it as the plain same old same old fanservice that's been happening in almost every anime, like me!
If people give in to their sexual urges, masturbate for sexual gratification, rape, or have plain sex, then it's their own fault for having no control. Shows can't control you, even if they have those "subliminal messages" and whatnot. You're a fool for being fooled.
One thing can't actually just influence someone in an instant, it needs to be a set of things/events that will gradually make a person into that someone. If a person raped someone, I'm pretty sure it's not just some show is his reason for doing so.
