| So, there's the infamous polygamy I've heard so much about. I'd like to think I have a fairly nuanced take on the whole thing. I am obviously against polygamy, and I was cringing the whole time during the last two episodes of this season. Rudy and Roxy did a scummy thing, and they barely got any punishment for it, besides Norn rightfully scolding them. In that regard I think the anime did a poor job. The whole time it really felt like the anime was just trying to justify what they did, when it should've really let them suffer the consequences of their actions. Sylph accepting it so quickly also made me raise an eyebrow. Even if polygamy is more common in their world, that doesn't mean Sylph would've been fine with the idea just like that. But that brings me to the next thing, the polygamy itself. Well, it's already been established that polygamy is more common in the MT world than in our own, and while this doesn't mean we can't judge it from our point of view, it does mean that the characters in MT might not feel the same way about it we do. So I don't think it's impossible for Sylph to be ok with it, but there weren't any signs that she would be before Rudy cheated on her, and I think that's really the biggest problem with the whole ordeal. Up until now the characters in MT have been punished for their wrong actions, but in this one instance it's like the author just let it all slip by just to give Rudy a harem. It seems awfully out of place for what has so far been a very well written story. Would I say this ruined MT for me? Nah, not really. In my opinion I think the reason this in particular is so infamous and why it riled so many people up is because of how good MT is! Would anyone care that much if this was done in some other trashy harem isekai? I doubt it. We care because we like MT. |
