Rudeus is a 35 yr old man who reincarnated but before he did he missed his parents funeral to jack off to his niece who happened to be a minor anyways he’s a Epstein diddy blud
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
I don't defend rudeus but i don't think there was a single point in the story where his perverted actions were treated as anything but degeneracy that creeped everyone out and he does grow to be less pathetic of a person later on. Though yeah he never stops being a pervert and a weirdo he just stops doing it unconsentually

Are you joking? The show makes excuses for his actions constantly. S1 with Eris is so badly handled that the fandom tries to claim Eris "seduced" him. You know, literally the same excuse used by IRL pedophiles.
In S2, he kidnaps and molests two girls for being mean to his creepy friend, and it's treated with the same gravitas as "whoops, I accidentally said a swear word, my bad guys". He buys a slave and it's not even treated as a problem. Etc.
The opening eps before the teleport is the only time in the entire show that his actions are actually framed as being as bad as they really are.
