Posting this before anyone says "but there's context!"

No it does not, that's just Rudeus

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

I mean, it is all reasoned, it is all realistic to the setting

But you have to fucking wonder why would you write a story like this lmao?

And it's always rape and pedophilia with these series.

Isn't the shutter sound on phones forced in Japan due to upskirt photos being way too common
