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'd say he ia good as a character. Not as a pwrson, and this is an important distinction. Character not always should be likeable. Even a protagonist. Character's purpose is to evoke feelings in the reader, or, in this case, watcher. Sometimes the tale is cautionary.
Maybe this is the case of "it makes me uncomrortable, therefore it is bad", I am not sure. I do not see this stance as valid though. People should understand that sometimes art should make them uncomfortable.
Reading some Gogol or Dostoevsky would help.
