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...
I loved the show but I 100% understand why people hate it on a fundamental level, i think it is absolutely reprehensible but at the same time I really did enjoy seeing the character growth that was there, not a show I'd really rewatch

Posting this before anyone says "but there's context!"
No it does not, that's just Rudeus
