its an overly common trope in japanese anime, from the kid shonen stuff to the more mature things, to have scenes where some gang of psychos physically abuse someone and the world around the victim gives absolutely 0 fucks and even mocks them for it. it always registered to me as extreme hyperbole and usually cringe inducing, just an over the top way to make evil antagonists, but i guess i just didnt understand culture    there was that horrifying clip being posted around of some junkie with the top of his skull gone just walking around with exposed brain
