Notes

is a stinky shit show guys. someone has to say it.

Firstly, here's an undeniable fact: Rudeus, an adult, is a piece of shit who sexualizes children.
Then there's the defense that the series is about how he goes from shitty to a respectable person.
How can a pedo ever become a respectable person, even if he "regrets it" (is that supposed to make me feel sympathy for him)? there's literally no redemption for that type of shit.
Not ot mention, he's not punished for being a shitty person. in fact, he's only rewarded with everything he could ask for throughout the series.

Second, another the author explicitly says that "About Rudeus: He doesn't really have any feelings of hatred for slavery. He feels like, it's not necessarily the case that all slaves are universally unhappier as slaves than they were before becoming slaves. So while kidnapping is evil, he can't say with certainty that slavery itself is evil."
Are y'all seriously okay with this shield hero level type of shit?

I'm only scratching the surface of criticisms toward this show, mostly because i'll admit that i haven't watched even the first season in its entirety. I'm not trying to say that people who watch this are supportive of the weird shit that happens or are pedos themselves at all. But even if, or though the story has good writing and interesting worldbuilding, are you guys unironically able to watch this and call it "peak" without feeling uncomfortable?
