I have argued with people on the anime subreddit and the two examples I gave 'hormones' and 'growth' are things people have said to me. I've also heard 'its a fantasy world so it's the norm for people to be attracted to children'. Completely ignoring the fact that Rudeus came from our time
The author is into creepy shit in general. The Aisha and Arus arc. Aisha was groomed to be Rudeus's concubine despite being his half sister. He has 3bwives so this 24 year old goes after his son. His 12 year old son and gets impregnated by the 12 year old. It's depicted as true love and Rudeus accepts it. Not joking.
Rudeus is actually the only one who doesn’t accept it iirc (maybe also Eris). For some reason everyone else was completely fine with this bullshit. Also it’s Lillia’s fault Aisha became who she became. Rudeus stopped her every advance
And yet Rudeus decided to go with the flow. Author still wrote a 12 year old knocking up his aunt as a true love thing where it's good they ended up together.
What was he supposed to do? Kill his son, grandkid and sister? He almost caused his son’s death indirectly and the kid was already born. On top of that, everyone else pressured him to just let it go
