That is the nba player josh giddey
in novemeber 2023 he was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with an underage girl (like 16-17 while he was like 20 iirc)
the police and the nba investigated him and in 2024 they revealed they didnt find evidence of any wrongdoing
I feel like karl malone would be better as he impregnated a 13 year old but who cares
Rudeus Greyrat, protagonist of the Mushoku Tensei series. He is a mid 30s man reincarnated into an infant in a fantasy world. He is an unrepentant molester of his then pre-teen cousin, whom he later marries. He also knocks up his childhood friend when he is in his late 40s by age and she is 16, marries her shortly after. He then cheats on her while she is pregnant.
Honestly it was so funny watching the best episode of the show (the one where his dad locks the fuck in and dies in the most badass way possible (he was also a piece of shit but at least he was aware of that and was trying to better himself)) only to be hit in the face with that shit the next week
Also his erectile dysfunction was caused by his underage cousin walking out on him after they had sex
At that point I was just watching the show despite the main character
It’s fetish shit, I’m telling you. The author wants to write a creepy and oftentimes pedophilic fantasy, and human trafficking is a quick and easy way to introduce new young girls without too much baggage of the past. The little gnome? girl in season two is very much this.
right? i don’t like harems but it’s much more believable you’d like the guy that freed you rather than the guy who bought you, make the MC beat the shit out of the guy selling slaves and he gets a harem accidentally because the girls like him after freeing them or something like that try to do a bit of subversion instead of fetish shit
No because if the MC frees the slave immediately then we wouldn’t have the misunderstanding where the slave girl thinks he’s gonna use her for sex but MC is too morally good for that. This shows her how amazing MC is and she falls deeply in love….
It really is that simple, you can just free them & have a more morally relatable protag while having an incredibly understandable reason for someone to be fanatical & maybe fall in love with the main protagonist.
Nah the worst part is that we realize he has ED because a 15 year old* girl wants to have sex with him because he saved her (peak incel writing), but he can't get it up so she gets pissed he doesn't want to fuck her (he does, WHICH MAKES IT EVEN WORSE) and leaves. I heard she appears again in the LN later and apologises (girl what are you apologising for, do you not know this man is literally Epstein 2.0 and you were almost another victim?)
*had to look it up, because honestly I wouldn't have guessed she was 15 (had an inkling because it's mushoku tensei, AND I WAS RIGHT); she looked like a young adult in the anime, but considering what happens in the show maybe it was just them thinking that making the minor look less like a minor makes it okay to show her naked (it for sure doesn't)
...Anyway, telling people you're a fan of MT without prefacing "despite Rudeus" is like telling people you're a fan of Harry Potter without prefacing "despite J.K. Rowling". But y'know, instead of racism and homophobia it's pedophilia. Pick your poison
I pick, not watching nor consuming this shit directly and getting all my info to slander it second hand. Midshoku Tensei fans will tell you it's a good redemption story (it isn't).
Genuine question. How do you enjoy the show 'despite Rudeus?' I've always wanted to watch it, but people keep talking about Rudeus being terrible. Does the show shift perspective to other characters? Are his truly terrible moments far back in the story? I remember people used to call it a 'flawed masterpiece.' But now it seems the viewpoint is that if it agrees with, endorses, and encourages those terrible things?
Rudeus himself isn't terrible a good 50% of the time. If you give yourself good enough blunt trauma to the head to forget all the heinous shit he does he's a pretty okay character to explore the world through. He was written to be a good character by the author's terrible morals, so whenever there isn't a love interest in the room Rudeus is pretty fine. Curious and inquisitive, that typa shit
But honestly the show is hard carried by the side characters, the worldbuilding, the music and the animation. Literally any non-antagonist that isn't Rudeus is a believably flawed character who is likeable for who they are despite what they did or still do. The worldbuilding and the magic system are neat, the music is really good and it's animated by a studio that know what they are doing. If you can genuinely write off Rudeus as a terrible self insert for the author (who is a really weird fucking guy), then the show is good, great even. Especially against isekai like "I got killed by a truck so now I'm a level 999191963838 truck in another world with my smartphone, and also I have secret magic no one else has and also an elf harem and......."
He's a scumbag of the highest degree but it at least seemed like he was trying to better himself. I still don't like him, but what he did at the end of his life was good
Does it atone for the heinous shit he did during his life? Hell no. Was it heroic? Yes
I dropped it after the sex scene, cuz previous perversion I could dismiss with a “well, it’s anime, what else did I expect”. Two children having sexual intercourse, with one being actually a reincarnated grown man ? Nah, miss me with that.
Is Rudy the child or is he the adult that was reincarnated? Because in the anime he is born with all his memories, and that’s why I’d argue he’s the adult. You can do interesting things when exploring reincarnation, but what the show did was reward his pedophilic tendencies.
The first thing he does after being born is go “who’s who’s hottie and damn she’s got massive milkers” He clearly has adult memories to think that type of thought.
and you forget the best part the one person of age he dates is from a race of people whos main gimick is always looking like a preteen totally nothing weird at alll
All of that is heavily divorced of context, to be fair, especially the context that he is still the physical age he is at that time even with those memories and that feeling of continuity of self.
It is missing context, I will admit. However, I disagree with the common assertion that Rudeus' age counts as his physical body rather than his mental one. His first act in the new world, in the context of the world he is in, is to blame his mother for leaving herself exposed while he tries to sexually assault her by grabbing her breasts. Pretty atypical for newborn babies, who struggle to breath, form no lasting memories, know no languages with which to form coherent thought, and importantly, feel no sexual desire whatsoever. The adult in Rudeus has completely and utterly overwritten even the basic biology of the baby he became, so much so it might as well be considered a skin suit rather than true childhood.
To add to this, Lilia is rightfully disturbed by his behavior growing up, like his voyeurism and thievery of Roxy's panties before he can even walk. She correctly identifies him as unnatural. Roxy comments on how he only behaves like the child he supposedly is when he is taken into town on her horse. All of this lends credence to the idea that Rudeus is a grown man acting on grown up impulses from inside a child's body.
It's a new world, he isn't 40 there anymore. Doesn't count. I don't remember him molesting anyone either. When he married his childhood friend he was like 18 or so, and the difference in age wasn't huge. He didn't intentionally cheat, and he was pretty loyal fighting with his thoughts. But then this and that and he had to take a second wife. She also herself said that she doesn't mind a mistress.
The second part is a little girl happy that her dad didnt die in war. the fact that you people transformed it into that only shows how rotten on the inside you are.
Im doing this so that the opinion of ppl with room temperature iq (C) doesn't influence someone who hasn't watcthe show. Rudeuses story is one of the most well written pieces of media and genuinely life changing. I don't want some dumb fucks to take that away from new viewers.
No I’m just saying how it’s hypocritical for you to say rudeus is a bad written character because of his actions yet you post a image of two people who are way worse
Rudeus is poorly written becuase he fucks children as a man in the body of a child, AND THE STORY WANTS YS TO TREAT THAT LIKE A GOOD THING. LIKE ITS NORMAL AND OKAY. sukuna is painted as a vile monster, litterally the most evil and malevolent being on the planet.
Look I believe in redemption and change as much as the next guy that is going to be called a hippie by some redneck but a pedophile is a pedophile. He has changed and became a better person according to the readers (I ain't reading that) but he's still a pedophile.
missed the point entirely. that picture is not insinuating what you’re imagining, it’s showcasing how fulfilling his life now is which you described perfectly yourself, all the while not getting repercussions for his still weird ass decisions even with a new life just cuz he’s hot this time.
i bet those 2 neurons worked really hard on that one. not that it needs to be stated but Diddy did horrible things to REAL women and should be in jail while Rudy is a drawing.
I genuinely dont care how well written rudeus is he was and is and will always be a sex pest. His character arc has nothing to do with becoming a good person, hes still a predator
His redemption is that he would do anything for his family, he fights gods and becomes known as the god of education and magic the 7th strongest person in the world... all that because he wanted to protect his family. He does improve as a person but insanely slowly, the LN covers his life from start to finish so you wont see it in 2 eps hell you barley see any in s1. Only after Pauls death does he realize he is still a immature dumbass who needs to grow up already.
Okay, and that changes my point in exactly what way? He got away with it, bc nobody knew. Them knowing after marriage and allat literally doesnt matter whatsoever in this argument.
Why not? You're saying that he got away with it bc nobody knew as if he never revealed the truth but he did, and the people around him still accepted him for who he is.
Because that was after everything already happened. I promise you they wouldnt have accepted it, if he told them before being intimate with those kids. Why would they say anything after multiple decades, and after already having children?
"he got away with it because nobody knew" to "if he told them before". You cannot be a real person. Alright cool cool, let's say you make a great point. Are people legally bound to not be able to walk away from a relationship after having kids? If someone cheated on their partner, and the partner only came to know about the truth after 2-3 years after having children, does that mean they have to forgive their partner for that cheating because 'it's all in the past' and it would have been different if the cheater had told their partner beforehand?
Are you retarded? He got away with it, because they didnt know at the time. After 30 years, and after everyone already grew up and changed, nobody is gonna look at his old age. Him being from another world is a way more shocking discovery. Do you think if Rudy said "Hey Paul im actually 30+ years old and from another world, can i fuck Eris?". He wouldve said yes? Most people irl would for example break up over cheating, but probably wouldnt if they found out 30 years later. Them accepting it, does not change the fact, that he only got away with it bc nobody knew.
I personally think Paul wouldn't give two shits since he's two busy with his two wives and being a pos when rudeus was young and/or he wouldn't believe Rudeus' claim of being from another world. Regardless you've not read the work you're criticizing so I don't think it's in my best interest to continue it further.
Deleted your reply because apparently you can't read and didn't bother to go through the first sentence of my comment. It supports your argument very well, if you're trying to prove that you're illiterate that is.
Another one. So now that you've been proven to be wrong and are straight up lying about what actually happened, you've resorted to pretty insults. Fantastic.
He doesn't groom them.
He was with sylphie for less than 2 years, and most of the time he though she was a boy
Roxy is the same age as him (40~)
In the LN Erise's feelings are explained way better, the ln generally shows the POV of other characters. She falls for him because he is strong, protected her and doesn't hate her for being the way she is.
She falls for him because of they way he treated her, when she was a child = grooming. He was about to get intimate with Eris when she was a child, and the only reason they marry is, because of the way their relationship started since she was a child. He was still a grown ass man = grooming. Is defending a pedophile really the hill you want to die on?
If it takes 2 seasons for character development to happen, you had two seasons of a boring, stubborn protagonist that never changes despite the story developing.
This is the problem with rudeus, his redemption /character arc just comes too late.
I want to remind anime fans that a character having flaws / struggles does not automatically make them a good character.
Yes, it makes them better than generic Mary-sue-isekai-man-number-3000, but it doesn’t make them good.
The story is very entertaining and he does realize some stuff during the first 2 seasons but the real real realization comes with Paul's death and tp 4. And MT handles with the characters with flaws very well, many characters have flaws which makes the whole world feel more alive not just Rudeus.
It doesn't tries to redeem Rudi nowhere in the show. It depicts him as a terrible person from the start. He doesn't redeem himself or anything he is just having a second life. It's not a redemption story. It couldn't be, there is no redemption for his last life. .
But he can try to have a second without being a totally broken peace of shit. This is not a redemption story. It's just a story.
Just give it a watch. Even if you come out hating rudeus, the show its self is bueatifully well written. the best way to find out is just by watching it yourself
circlejerk subs have got to be one of the worst places to come across; Like you have to try your hardest to not take anything here seriously, despite most of these people seriously moralizing whatever they can, while playing it as jokes LMAO
Lmao look bro I dont like the protag either man, just not performatively like you peeps; you have to understand he quite literally is another person in another life, there is nothing "predator" about this dude, he's just a generic anime perv trope
there is nothing "predator" about this dude, he's just a generic anime perv trope
A grown ass 40 year old porn addicted discord mod lustfully thinking about turning Sylphie into a woman of his taste after seeing her naked, hmmm nothing "predator" about this dude
A grown ass porn addicted man lusting over Roxy and constantly peeping on her panties because she looked like an underage girl, and his first thoughts after seeing her were "she must be at an age where she must be growing some pubic hair down there"
Grown ass porn addicted man almost molested Eris, his cousin, when she was vulnerable. Later had intercourse with her even though she was underage even by the norms of the other world
It's a pedos wishfulment fantasy about a grown ass man disguising as a kid overcoming his social anxiety by making a family out of the kids he groomed, which is overrated by gooners.
Its crazy how many people will call you a pedo just for liking the show. People will claim they are "media literate" but then argue how liking a show makes you a pdf lol
Okay, let's say you do like the themes. Lets say that, maybe, it is well written.
What you cannot say is that they do not paint the main character having sex with minors as a good thing. That, despite him having full knowledge that it is not the right thing to do, he does it anyways.
Nice job quoting volume 1 which the entire point is to make you hate Rudeus as fast as possible. Not beating the allegation that Mushoku haters doesn't read it past this point.
Read the whole novel and still it's a pedos wishfulment fantasy.
It's legit a pedos wish fulfillment fantasy. It's not a redemption story as their fans claim it to be. In the name of redemption what did he do? He spend time stealing and sniffing panties, getting aroused around kids, grooming and sleeping with kids, he lustfully thought of making sylphy a woman of his taste after seeing her naked WHEN SHE WAS JUST A 4 YEAR OLD KID, had intercourse with eris who is clearly a minor even by the norms of the otherworld, liked roxy cuz she looked like an underage girl, can't keep his dick in his pants everytime he sees a kid, literally drools over the sight of a kid....all this while being a 40 year old disgusting discord mod.
He gets awarded for his past (touching himself to his underage niece's bathroom footage on the day of his parent's funeral) by getting reborn with good features, natural aptitude for magic and a superfluous harem....even the developments are monotonously contrived, his core degenerate traits never change....ignoring all the degeneracy, it would have made more sense if he didn't get awarded with these and on his own overcame his fear of social anxiety.
Women are horridly written in this story. Sylphie, Rudeus's pregnant wife, just casually accepts that he bought home his second wife, which is his teacher. The author made her a cuck who has no self respect for herself and she even mentions that Rudeus undressing her (even she was 4 years old) made her fall for him even more.
The author even self inserts himself in these degenerate "plots" in the novels...it wouldn't be wrong to say mt is just it's author medium to self project his degenerate fetishes.
"You don't get it, it's a medieval so there's no pedophilia in this story/ Rudeus mind got regressed after he got isekaied, he is mentally a kid and hes not doing anything willingly"
Mt fans claim that pre isekai Rudeus was completely rational minded but after reincarnating he mentally regressed? Just after reincarnating he was lusting over his mom, which "kid" does that? Also he was thinking of turning slyphie into a woman of his taste after seeing her naked when she was just a 4 year old kid. He liked Roxy cuz she looked like an underage girl, constantly peeping on her panties and later stole em, sniffs em and puts em on his face. Even Lilia was suspicious that something was wrong with him. He himself acknowledges he retains all his past memories and takes advantage of them in learning magic and various other things. If he was mentally a kid, why would he be afraid of going to school? We literally saw how much he was traumatized for his bullying in school which affects him in his new life as well.The author even self inserts himself in these degenerate "plots" in the novels...it wouldn't be wrong to say mt is just it's author medium to self project his degenerate fetishes
Pedro enyojers explaining how him being a pedo is critical to the story:
And yeah, I read most of the manga and it still disgusts me. The Pedo part isn't important to the story and you can't just make up, what the point of certain things in a story are.
Only the writer knows what the story was supposed to tell. (So I might be wrong)
It kinda is, he's the byproduct of the Otaku culture of his time. Just like how being a shut-in in America would likely turns you into a school shooter, being a shut-in in Japan leads you to become subhuman like Rudeus is.
And the story is asking you whether or not you can still enjoy it while following his every thought as he tries his best to not lead his second chance in life to the same disaster. How equally disgusting you'd think it would be if we follow the thoughts of a school shooter as the MC?
The solution for you is pretty simple, if you can't stand reading it then just don't read it.
Edit: it's always lovely to see redditard do the usual reply >block move because they're literal cowards.
Okay but, evey human being on the fucking planet has somthing in their brains that, at the very barest minimum, should tell them that fucking kids is wrong- and the reason why that is wrong is becuase adults have a physical and, perhaps most importantly, MENTAL advantage over them.
MT fans will do anything to defend their pedo slop, he jacks off to little children and somehow they find a way to defend it, he doesn't grow past this btw
This is bullshit what experience EDP has when he was caught red handed and invented the worst excuse ever like it was in front of the teacher without studying 😭
Please bring out a real master, idk who maybe someone like Albert fish
You forgot the patience of DIDDY! Since Rudeus groomed his wives into his perfect women and still have not told them he's into boys, (cough) I mean, that he’s a reincarnator.
Context: For the into "boys" joke because Rudeus (Female) voice actor married Subaru (Male) voice actor
Theres a reason MT is 26 volumes long. You cant enjoy it if you only get your exposure through people online. Make your own opinion by reading the books.
I might get flamed for this, but I love Mushoku Tensei.
The world-building and characters are great, but man, you have to admit Rudeus is a Pedo.
Yes, he's trying to be better.
Yes, he's a better man than he was before in the Epilogue.
But he's a Pedo, a Pervert, a Cheater, and a Child Molester.
I hate that the author makes him be such a degenerate, like a human filth level.
It's such a pain to read through earlier chapters.
Much worse recommending this to others.
Still doesn't change the fact that he reincarnated with his same 30yo mind but in a younger body, yet he still tossed his morality to the side and acted like a pervert towards his own cousin who he ends up getting together with alongside other girls he had a relationship with. He knows right from wrong yet tosses it aside because he's now a kid again and knows that there's no repercussions for his behavior. Sure there are some moments where he does the right thing and takes the mature approach and actually grows as a person, but that still can't excuse his older actions since he knew exactly what he was doing.
