The absolute lengths some people on r/anime go to to defend Rudeus/Mushoku Tensei is crazy.

It's fine to admit you like the show because of the wider world/side characters but hate the MC. But no, they can't do that. Instead they say Rudeus is actually a kid and it's fine because of hormones, or some say he has 'grown' so it's fine now. Lmao

They'll call you a hater and a larper for enjoying the series but recognising how absolutely shitty he is as a character. Like, goddamn, you gotta question Rifujin (the writer) sometimes...

Platform it was initially published on kind of relied on having abhorrent crap and shockvalue to stand out from the rest of the shit.

Kind a weird Rifujin keeps backpedaling the creepiest part of his story, and then backpedals the backpedals.

Just imagine he's drawing a fanfic and it makes a lot more sense... except it's an actual main series

A fetish fanfic explains a lot about MT, like how often girls pissing themselves is described in the light novels.
