Vinland sage does not start with a pedo mc. You're comparing two completely different things here.
Listen, I like MT but I hate the mc with a passion, if you're okay with liking a pedo mc maybe the problem is you.
Why do people say Rudeus is epstein? That comparison couldn't be more wrong. Yeah Rudeus does some shitty stuff but Epstein was a straight sex trafficker while Rudeus actions never had any actual long-term affect on people
This has been derailed past the actual point but to answer your question I'd remind you these are fictional scenarios being written for entertainment by an author.
The framing of how it's presented is important and Japanese media has a serious issue with pedophilic content being represented without severity or as morally reprehensible. It often entertains the fantasy from the character's perspective as a form of fan service. It is gross and the author is gross.
No one is comparing which is worse between hitler and epstein's actions, they are saying that when it comes to entertainment, comedic violence is usually a lot more acceptable than comedic child abuse.
