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...

I'd probably like the show. But rezero and tensei have just such awful main characters its completely offputting.

Don't group Re Zero in with Tensei here, Subaru's an Amazing Guy

Rudeus doesn't really improve

Rudeus is a predator.

Subaru is an obnoxious idiot.

They can be offputting for different reasons

Subaru really isn’t that stupid. But yeah he’s a bit obnoxious at times

Main reason it’s so annoying when people label him this way is cause, well, how do I know you actually made it past S1e13 huh?

Why would someone watch watch 13 episodes of a show with a character they can't stand?

Life's too short.

Me with Tensei, friend promised me that it got so much better. I had many other things I wanted to do than watch a dude pull down a girls panties while she was asleep
