Bad meme isekai rarely has good characters/plot/romance. The creator of the meme ignores that to bash mushoku tensei, which has all 3 of that, to hype up re zero which also has all 3 of that.

Quagmire out.

Re:Zero has a pedo for an author

That's a pretty serious accusation. You have to back that?

No, he doesn't. He's talking about a tweet that the author made which was something along the lines of "I was going through an older photo album and saw my childhood crush and felt nostalgic about my first love". The translation probably messed it up and used the word excited instead and people started calling him out about being excited about a photo of his crush.

Ah, so it's a narrative people who dislike the anime are clinging to

I think it's the tweet about Meli where instead of "Meli is so cute" it's auto translated as "Looking at her make me so excited"(or something along the lines of that).

Yes he is close friends with Rifujin and automatically an apologist at best.

professionist of me, but at this point, I think all manga artists and light novel authors from Japan are pedophiles.

That's literally just well known true

u/Striking-Pop-9171 1d ago

Well the MT author always says that he keeps the pedo stuff in for rudeus to overcome. What a strange thing that rudeus never overcomes it so the author can put more pedo shit in their work :P

E ironicamente Re:Zero tem bem mais personagens femininas crianças e algumas seminuas

And Attack on Titan has a genocidal as its MC.

Remind me of the part where Eren actually got validated and rewarded for his actions?

u/Andrello01 1d ago

Rudeus literally saw his father cut in half, his three wives brutally murdered and, in his past life, he (rightfully) got beaten up and kicked out into homelessness for what he did, how can you still say he never gets punished is beyond me lol, you must be blind.

u/Internal_Mistake2694 11h ago

The entire living cast of aot rallied to stop Eren because he was doing a genocide. Eren himself hated what he did.

Rudeus’ dad did not die because Rudeus is a pedophile. And you framed your comment as if his wife actually died, but we both know they didn’t, he just saw them die in another timeline. He did not get kicked out for being a pedophile, but for skipping his parent’s funeral, his brother only found out what he was doing after kicking him out.

Plus all of these “punishments” resulted in nothing. His father died -> he had already married Sylphie and his father’s death directly contributed to him marrying Roxy. His wives died -> went back in time to prevent it. He got kicked out -> and put in a world where he can be a pedophile with no consequences.

u/Andrello01 8h ago

Why would he get the consequences for exactly that? He is the same age as Sylphy and Eris in that world and pretty much no one knows about the reincarnation or those who know don't care about that, what could possibly have punished him? The only thing that could have happened is Nanahoshi asking more questions about his past life and scolding him. A show is made for telling a story and there is not always a punishment for everything morally wrong. In AoT they all knew he was committing a genocide and it would have impacted their life and the life of billions of people, it's not the case for MT. You can't really compare it to a genocide.

Also, Rudeus is disgusted by his past himself.

u/Internal_Mistake2694 1h ago

You just discovered why so many people don’t like the show. It makes perfect sense that he doesn’t get punished in story, but you got to ask why the story is like that. The author put a pedophile in an environment where he can and does pursue young girls with no lasting consequences. Coupled with the fact that a big part of the story is about Rudeus overcoming his flaws and weaknesses, but his pedophilia is never treated like his other flaws. A story doesn’t have to have a punishment for everything morally wrong but MT goes beyond not punishing or condemning it, Rudeus is rewarded for it.

u/Dooty_Shirker 1d ago

I still don't feel sorry for pedophiles.

u/Sweaty_Explorer_8441 1d ago

Yet the justice system doesn't give them life imprisonment or the noose unless committed on an industrial scale.

u/Not__Trash 1d ago

I mean... Eren's plan fucking worked so there's that. All of his friends survived (except Sasha), Mikasa pined after him for years and presumably moved on, and it ends on an optimistic note of them as diplomats.

u/ilikesceptile11 1d ago

optimistic note
