I appreciate its honesty and storytelling, not the brutality necessarily. I see where you are coming from, but I still disagree that the rape is to Berserk as panty shots are to Rosario + Vampire.

HERMITISM
In my opinion it's about intent. Most of what I consider fan service, is something that doesn't really add anything to the story itself. Really what fan service does, is take you out of immersion and tell you, "hey reader/viewer...here's a panty shot."
It's something a kin to when you're watching a movie, and a character looks at the screen, affirming the existence of the third party audience.
And that's why I hate fan service in most cases, sometimes it's funny most times it kills the immersion. Anything that doesn't take me out of the immersion of the story but enhances it, I cannot consider fan service. At least as far as the word is used pertaining to anime/manga.
For example in Wolf Guy(awesome manga minor spoiler)
Wolf guy has a pretty intense rape scene that can be considered straight up hentai...but the more graphic it gets the more emotion it adds to the event. Through it I would say you might feel horny at first. But you might also feel intense rage for the perpetrators, and sympathy for the victim's life...considering the scene is being filmed for the world to see. You could very well say the writer goes too far. But at the end of it he emotionally has you in a bloodlust. You want revenge, you want justice, you want those motherfuckers dead. And I don't think the writer could get that emotion out of you without taking the steps he does.

The definition of something is rare opinionated. Fanservice isn't one of those things. Fanservice is anything thrown in for the fans, ANYTHING. This isn't meant only for sexual things, it's literally anything. Any and all fanservice can be directly embued with the story, the reason it was created or why it's bad, it doesn't matter. So it is what it is, you can try and justify some things over others but it ins't because it ISN'T fanservice.
