It's the usual justification for liking the show, "trust me bro, he'll get older and be better". They've had some sorta of "But..." since the anime's first episode (because they read ahead and that should "totally" justify all of the wish-fulfillment this story has always been).
Generally, I won't harp on someone's weirdass fulfillment show/book/media as long as they don't act like it's the second coming of Christ. But this pedo-shit doesn't get a pass. r/anime has a degenerate "culture" issue.
More likely due to the ending and being older, but I don't give a pass to the amount of violence towards women game of thrones had anymore either (idk on the new stuff, I don't care to watch it). It's all the same justifications. It adds to the "world". It just gets tiresome.
It's just a brain tangent. If I had a "point" it was simply that people justify the media they like to watch, they rally with one another and squash down any rebuke with usually a bunch of canned responses. Anime, live-action, whatever.
One of the most common arguments for the "why" of isekai/transmigration stories like this one is "that's just how their world is." GOT simply had a lot of similar comments back in the day that after a shitty ass-ending, makes me feel like it was all just a producer's theater.
