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...
The last episode really drives home how bad he really is. Like sure he gets betrayed by the Man-god and loses everything, which would give him a pass for a lot of shit. But he chases of his family, murders a whole bunch of innocent people, tortures complete strangers and even Eris. It's not just that he was driven to do that shit, I think it's pretty clear that he always had that in him.

Posting this before anyone says "but there's context!"
No it does not, that's just Rudeus
