YMMV / Darlin'

Go To

  • Complete Monster: The unnamed Bishop is the head of St. Philomena's, a boarding school and reform home for delinquent girls, which is under threat of being shut down; the Bishop seeks to civilize and exploit the feral Darlin' for his own fortune. It turns out the Bishop is a serial pedophile and ephebophile who continuously preys upon the girls taken there; the reason Philomena's is about to be shut down is due to investigations by the church. It is implied he uses rape as a form of punishment, as a terrified Billy is taken to his office for disrupting class. He later attempts to do the same to Darlin' herself when he seems to reach out to her. The Bishop also previously raped his assistant nun, Sister Jenny, when she was a student of his; when confronted over it, he alternates between threatening Jenny, bringing up her delinquent past, to saying she's at fault for not forgiving him. The Bishop ultimately claims that he is doing his victims a favor, by having a man of God take their virginity.
