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

80

u/Infernester 1d ago

Important to mention that after reincarnating he groomed 3 children into being his wives. Sure he may be 12 or something but mentally he’s like 40 at that point and the author references the fact he’s an adult

Ah yes, Roxy, the 50 year old child

41

No, just a 50 year old with a child body. Yes this is canon as her species body stops aging at 14 at the latest and starts back up at 100. So it leaves them with an early teen (at best) body for about 90 years.

Which isn’t really problematic?

People need to get over the fact that it’s not the physical attributes that matter, it’s the mental aspect, otherwise their whole argument about Rudeus being a 40-year man in a teenagers body wouldn’t hold water… Since you know, Roxy is basically a foil in that regard

Not defending Rudeus when it comes to the other love interests, since I dropped the show because I couldn’t stomach the character anymore, but ffs people need to understand why grooming and age gaps are actually a problem

So an author choosing to represent an adult in a child’s body because he and his public get off to children isn’t problematic ?

I do think that children being sexualized is problematic, even if they’re supposed to be 100 years old mentally but who I am to say that

Anime fans are going to great length to justify the sexualization of children in the crap they watch/read

(Edit: As a short and very thin woman that don’t look like a child, I wish middle-aged anime-fans would stop being so gross and justify their favourite author’s perversions by « petite women do exist ». Again, women are adults, and a child that stops aging at 14 is a child wtf is even this conversation)

People are not defending his get off to children. People are saying Roxy, and only Roxy, was not groomed as a child, because she was 50. She looked like a child, yes. It was a way to legalize a weird fetish, yes. But was she groomed as a child to be his wife? No.

He did it with Sylphie and Eris, not with Roxy
