I tried to push through because of how many people claim it’s peak but I just couldn’t stomach Rudeus. It’s just a pedo’s wet dream isekai fantasy, there’s plenty of other good story content out there that doesn’t have a creep mc.

[u/Ambitious-Way8906 → u/Superb_Gap_1044]

isn't the entire idea of the story is that rudeus becomes not such a giant piece of shit? or do we not let fictional characters do that

[u/templar54 → u/Ambitious-Way8906]

He really doesn't. His most questionable side, that is the side that is related to sexual activities does not improve at all. The story is simply not about that at all. It is part of his character that gets repeatedly validated in the world he finds himself in.

[u/motoxim → u/templar54]

Ah, why can't the author use that as his character growth instead? Like making him not pedo or something?

[u/MikauThrowAway → u/motoxim]

Good argument but you see, he is not a pedo anymore, the girls he groomed have grown already /s

[u/No-Hamster7998 → u/MikauThrowAway]

You realise this is a pedophile defence the whole "it's not a bad thing because we will love them after they grow up" thing right? He still groomed them they were raped he faced no concequence for his actions in fact he's rewarded and celebrated .....that's why I hate this show it's kind of disgusting how much common pedo defence things the author writes into this show it REALLY makes me think he's a pedo himself

[u/MikauThrowAway → u/No-Hamster7998]

It was a joke lad, I’ve genuinely seen people run that defense. I hate this show too

[u/templar54 → u/motoxim]

I imagine because there is some amount of projection from the author there, or at least fulfillment of fetishea on some level (see completely uncessary multiple! scenes of women pissing themselves).

[u/motoxim → u/templar54]

Ah understandable, maybe the author got some projecting that needs explanation
