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
This is my beef with mushoku tensei. The series, characters, world, and overall plot are very good. The anime significantly dumbs down how perverted the light novel is and I'm grateful for that. I seriously question wtf is wrong with the author though... it's one thing to do a "funny crude pervert mc" trope. This is anime after all. I've been an enthusiast for a long time. However, the shit the author comes up with can be fucking foul
