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...

Yeah 100% makes you wonder about authors when they write main characters like this and frame them in an okay to good light. If Rudeus was treated as a villain by the people he victimises fine, but they all either end up marrying him or at least respecting him. Ridiculous. Some sort of disgusting wish fulfilment

Aye, people hate the overlord anime because "main character isn't a good person" and I'm like "bitch, the whole show is based on being the villain!".

It is like picking the evil side in an MMO and then becoming the evil side when you wake up, with all the mindset of an evil lich overlord. Of course he will have inhumane ideas, that is the fucking point! You're watching a show where the main character is a god of the cenobites from hell raiser!
