This is one case where I wish the isekai would actually lean MORE into it's gimmick. The supporting characters are all boring IMO and even lugh isn't very interesting aside from being an assassin but the idea of trying to assassinate an overpowered hero is exciting and we basically don't see any of that at all in the first season. Also a little weird I see rudy getting flack for perving on underage girls in mushoku tensei but no one bats an eye at this like 70 year old man romancing his 14 year old cousin. That an interesting discussion. For a second I will try to get into the the heads of these people and try to address this seriously. If for real, a 70 year old was reborn, from the moment of their new birth would they truly be expected to only romantically pursue other people who are also 70+ years old? Sounds ridiculous to try to picture a teen guy going after 70+ fossils or even older women because he is still being depicted as a teen. But we have to remember this is fantasy and this could never happen. So if we are to maintain the angle that we need to be disturbed by this, whats the author's angle? That they are trying to appeal to an audience of 70 year old men who want to sleep with teen girls? That also sound improbable and it isnt even the key focus of the story. I think its more likely the author thought that it would be cool to have a veteran assassin reborn in a fantasy setting. Romance is something that is bound to come up in a reborn life. It would be rather boring to write a story about an abstinent asexual protagonist. These people who are offended by this always seem to be incensed about things like this but never bat an eye at other things such as homicide, theft, or any other immoral acts commonly executed in fiction. Its already been proven that when media is consumed, it doesnt make the consumers act these things out in real life. So in my opinion, I think we need to remember at the end of the day its just fiction. PS The amount of lulzy in further increased when we remember these are just cartoons and not even live actors. <cite>dioxxys posted [p:961155744] in Anime, Man...
