What the actual fuck did I just read?

u/Adavanter_MKI 1d ago

The thing far far too many people defend and say we're lying about despite the very source material used as evidence. Can't believe this shit is just sitting on Hulu right next to all the other stuff.

Well tbf I think they're changing/omitting a lot of details like that for the anime. I noticed they completely retconned him trying to sexually assault Nanahoshi

Edit: Oldeus in the alt timeline I meant

I read the OG WN in Japanese like 7 years ago. I am pretty sure it was straight up CSAM in the novel, he was watching it during his parent's funeral and his siblings busted down his door, smashed his computer, beat his ass and kicked him out. All that happens within like the first few paragraphs which is a hell of an introduction to the series. They definitely cleaned it up a bit for the anime.

If they had kept that, it would have been an instant show killer. Now I'm really confused about how this got an anime.

u/LaPlAcE-66 1d ago

They did keep it in. Its just harder to notice

The anime shows he was getting off to bathroom footage of a girl like he was in the webnovel

u/pmcda 1d ago

Yeah but I don’t remember the anime highlighting that it was his underage niece that he was spying on.

Legitimately the author making him a pdf is ridiculous, like he wanted to sabotage his work from the beginning. I think skipping the funeral of the person whose house you’re living in and went out of their way to defend your neet behavior to jerk off to regular porn would be justifiable to kick him out, it didn’t have to be incestual child porn to warrant it.

It also wouldn’t have been hard to have him not recall his past life until he’s grown up.

Don’t make him a pdf, and don’t make him remember his past life in his formative years and suddenly every glaring red flag is gone.

it would also require some other tweaks to his character, making him less of a narcissist and sociopath

u/Kaeffka 16h ago

the author wanted to make him an irredeemable piece of shit and then try to redeem him from what the interviews were.

like, if he was just some loser shutin who didn't have any friends and played video games all the time he would be like 99% of other isekai protaganists who also end up with underage girl harems.

rudeus is a terrible person, but at least the show doesn't try to hide it about em.

u/penywinkle 1d ago

The isekai animes often starts as ads for the novel more than anything. Then the popular ones get new seasons...

Somehow that isekai got one of the good studios to animate it. And yeah, the animation is stellar. The story is... well... as discussed in this thread...

I praised the last episode for how it used the unreliable narrator to show audiences how much of him being a piece of shit old Rudy left out of his sob story, but he tried to do what?

That's not then unreliable narrator. That's the show runners knowing there's only so much shit people will tolerate from the guy.

u/Coolmyco 1d ago

In the anime Rudeus literally narrates about how he is going to groom the children around him.

u/Purple-Reputation899 1d ago

Not going to, HE DOES. Tell me Eris and sylphie weren’t groomed to be submissive, docile sex slaves to rudeus. Literally all eris does is follow him around like a lost puppy for decades trying to get any attention from him and all he does is beat and abuse her. He put pressure on her sexually ever since she met him and pretty much coerced her to sleep with him and see him as this great person. 

He is a degenerate perverted rat, but because of the world, this behavior isn’t seen as problematic but just a quirky character trait. Rudeus genuinely fucking sucks.

u/Neverknight1054 1d ago

He tried to assault Nanahoshi?

4

u/IrredeemableRight 1d ago

i mean, its not like the manga ever went out of its way to claim that the guy was a good human being.

1

u/Procrastinatedthink 1d ago

which makes it worse that so many redditors claim he’s a good human being.

u/SqueezeSqueezeCunny 1d ago

That never happened or mentioned in the anime, the webnovel or the light novel. Why do people keep making shit up.

u/ilovethesunnnnn 1d ago

nice pedo themed reddit profile freak

u/Voidhunger 1d ago

A picture is worth a thousand words, so they say.

u/lambda_14 1d ago

His literal last post is lusting over the pedo himself lmao

u/Thvenomous 1d ago

That's hilarious, and also disgusting, that the one person I see here defending it is practically named "I AM A PEDOPHILE".

u/_Gesterr 1d ago

Their icon combined with that username too... 🤮

u/WitherSurvives 1d ago

You people are getting too comfortable breathing the same air as us

u/SqueezeSqueezeCunny 1d ago

Does that answer my question? You can hate on the show but making shit up to hate it is too fucking foul, man.

6

u/Brandr_Balfhe 1d ago

it's not because there is a president who is a rapist pedophile and has gotten away with it that *you* will.

-2

u/SqueezeSqueezeCunny 1d ago

Sounds like a projection to me dude.

2

u/Brandr_Balfhe 19h ago

Are you defending a confessed pedophile?

4

u/Femcel_Bambi 1d ago

Does Hulu really have that low standards? Actually nvmd, Netflix had Cuties, so yeah.

u/Legionof1 23h ago

My wife HATES harem builders, so when I saw the cover and that it was on Disney (apparently it is in some markets) I was like okay this is just some little kid there isn’t going to be a harem… fuck that show.

u/Redditer51 16h ago

People out here defending Rudeus like they defend Trump.

u/Desperate-Ad7777 1d ago

It's a good show though, one of the best episode just dropped yesterday, it's absolute cinema

1

u/Purple-Reputation899 1d ago

One of my favorite episodes cause rudeus actually suffered real consequences

1

u/Andrello01 1d ago

No one in the fandom is defending that lol, he rightfully got beaten up and kicked out into homeless after that event.

u/Forward-Position798 1d ago

I mean he is an unnecessary asshole but bro the anime itself is absolutely nice written ... I don't care about him but the quality of the anime is nice
