this is a detailed analysis and it's extremely unpopular . it's specifically gonna annoy westerners, and this will get into a political and psychological analysis . somebody have to say it

what makes people who hate Rudeus predominantly western? people in japan or east in general and in middle east react positively to the series
the outrage's proportion makes no sense, he is someone who died and went to another world yet you see westerners applying 18+ standard of consent to him in that world which doesn't even apply to his country in his world so what's going on here?
why do people go this far with a fictional character?

compare him to Thorfinn Karlsefni from Vinland saga who was in the past a prolific murderer, many innocent people died because of him if not to him directly
but he comes back years later to say "i have no enemies"
but he gets almost 0 of the treatment that rudeus got , nevermind that rudeus didn't actually touch anyone and died saving someone ,so what is going on?
Thorfinn didn't die , but he still gets forgiveness if an elite assassin can be granted forgiveness then how can someone who masturbated to cp not get that?
remember i'm not defending anyone im just objectively assessing proportion

that gets us to another question what makes murder and killing easy to forgive in fiction no matter how detailed in gore and horrific and dehumanizing/objectifying it can get
how could that be worse than an implication of predation for westerners?
why is death treated as something far away or abstract and why is predation treated as something urgent even if fictional? this is a critical question for understanding the western psyche and the western condition

at this point you have to recognize how performative the whole thing is, even if the outrage feels real even if the emotion behind it is disproportionate and intense it feels, this isn't objective but is done through a specific lense

now this is where the analysis gets political
westerners get their news usually about death from places like the middle east and africa and so on they sit in houses where they don't face harsh realities other have, this comfort creates a psychological barrier with death, it becomes something far away, something oversea that they don't have to deal with, obviously this isn't accurate they have shootings and everything, but this is the narrative that their media creates , as for pdfelia it's considered intimate and close, due to the structural and systemic child predator problem in the west especially in america , it is seen very intimately, they know it too well, and it is very common there yet punished so heavily , so when they see someone who masturbates to cp these triggers a very disproportionate reaction, this is why Thorfinn is easily forgiven and why rudeus isn't
but all they are truly doing is trying to signal that they are not like rudeus "we are one of the good ones look at us condemning this pdfile"

on the flip some people might find vinland saga disturbing from the global south but they don't vote on imdb or MAL, someone in iraq or in palestine might have raid scenes reactivate trauma in their minds, the feeling is immediate and visceral
this psychological barrier that westerners have which lead them to be oblivious to their part in those things for example americans benifiting from exploitation , or having their taxes fund a genocide, this is a prime example of them in real life seeing death as something far and abstract or just statistics

before someone says "It's not that deep" explain why you get that deep with fiction

I am watching the the firstv2 eps of Mt s3 rn

Tho I have read the lns,I read from vol 13 so haven't read these parts

Gino legit looks like the plainest,average guy ever😭😭

Didn't expect that from him if yk what I mean(by which i mean ln readers)

P.s should I js make this post a spoiler n put the ln flair? Wanted to do it like this js to have fun with anime onlys tbh

Personally for me it's Aisha

She is js so understandable yet nuanced as a character

A rlly interesting character

I first watched Mushoku Tensei about three years ago and fell in love with it. But I didn’t think of reading the light novel, manga, or the web novel until about a month ago. I found a guy who freely shared a link to his google drive with all the volumes in it so I downloaded it and started reading. Then I stumbled upon a guy who made videos about Mushoku Tensei talking about the things that were cut out of the first and second seasons of the anime, covering the most important things*(a few that I remember is that he explained all of the mechanics of magic in that world and gave a lot of examples of spells of different types and the origins of magic, and talked about the fighting spirit(idk how it’s called in English but this is how I translate it) and its mechanics as well. And he also talked about a few facts about characters that are kinda important).* So far I almost done with the 4th volume the only new stuff I got is Doldia village’s secret magic, Lilia’s backstory, the fact that Gees is a monkey headed demon, and some other minor things.
And now I’m thinking of wether I should be like a “true fan”, reading every volume of the light novel and knowing everything about the title or just start reading from the point where the 3rd season starts(I believe it’s somewhere around volume 13) and learn about the major cut out through some more YouTube videos.

Yo guys mushoku tensei's official release date is 5 july but somehow yesterday i already watched 2 ep through torrents are they leaked or what ?

Note: I encourage anyone to share the things they have noticed they changed from LN to anime adaptation.

Auber being beaten in a sparring match was kinda off if you ask me, it seems this change was only done to reflect how Eris has grasped the sword of light move and for hype factor. However, if am not mistaken this was not included in the LN and it seems to damage Auber skill a bit.

It was actually Rieda who went for her sword and not Isolde, she even comments the aura and murderous intent Eris seems to exude. Usually the water god style exudes calmness even it's fiercest foe, her going for her sword was a shame to them. Which is another reason why she was so intrigued by Eris.

I won't really bring up the coat change, since personally it is a welcome change and it does make sense.

Please feel free to correct me if I did bit recall it accurately. Please also share what you have seen as skipped or changed content.

I love watching Mushoku Tensei, probably my favorite isekai by far... But seeing episode one of season three genuinely made me wonder- Why does the anime constantly depict characters wetting themselves?

Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against it!

It's just that this is the third time I've seen a character let loose of their bladder- and I can't get it out of my mind! (I'm quite perverted you see...)

For LN readers, did the author specifically mention or describe the act of wetting in any way? Is this Studio Bind's doing, do they have a fetish for pissing? (I mean onimai had Mahiro wetting constantly so...)

Here's the scenes that I'm mentioning (for anyone interested)

There's season II part I episode 7 16:30, when Linia and Pursena were strapped onto that chair for the whole day.

Season II part II episode 8 21:02, when Roxy was stranded in the cave, and she had to fend off against the human-sized centipedes.

And now, Season III episode 1 6:25, when Nina was beaten up to a pulp by Eris. (I just felt really bad for her, like that must've been humiliating as hell)

This is too much wetting in the span of three cours, even Re:Zero only did the bit once or twice in season three!
