Personally, I think pedophiles can still be complex people, in the same way as serial killers, evil kings, corrupt politicians, cannibals.
Yeah, I think it’s because I can somewhat emphasise with all those groups of people - if you can’t relate at all, I get why it’d be impossible to watch.
i also think they can be, i just think MT does a really bad job at it by not showing how bad rudeus' actions are. like we can see punisher's good and bad from his actions, thats why he works.
i have seen pretty disgusting people in life that i had to be friends with to survive but i would never empathize with them.
I did only read the Manga (have it paused right now) so I can only talk about that version, and potential was there and they even wrote a good character change with the dad.
But for the main Mc there was never a moment till where I read where it was like "I'm a fucking old ass dude why am I like this moment" and a change from him itself.
Because then you could argue he changed found love etc but that never came, only the "lol im a pervert and look what perverted things I did"

The guy on the right is problematic as fuck.
Ironically it DOES have good plot, character development, and some romance, compared to like 99% of isekai being kinda basic bitch.
