the outrage over this proves majority of the american audience are hypocrites.

Outrage? My dude, any relevance this show has is driven by memes and So Bad It’s Good watching, no one unironically gives enough of a shit about it to hate it. The sexualized Shota design especially is noted solely for meme purposes.

Also, in terms of your actual point, this is an Apples and Oranges comparison. The controversy in Mushoku Tensei is rooted in his mind & personality, while the sexy Shota meme stuff in this show is rooted in his character design, physical body, and the way the show frames it. There is pretty much no overlap in concept between these two.

@Infamous_Empire

yeah but the fact that the relevance isn't even near the same is just an example of the hypocrisy,

i could even compare the controversy with goblin slayers first episode drama and more vs redo of a healer first episode which some how gotten zero controversy some how despite being much worse.


its just hypocritical to attack on specific series, also its weird because you haven't disproven any of my points,
how is this any different in mind and personality? i mean this guys personality is also of a crazy spell fanatic too of some one much older who died, so hows this different?

The reason people cared when Goblin Slayer and Mushoku did something controversial was because they were shows which had a fair bit of momentum behind them which attracted attention from all sides of the community, and viewers had expectations of them which didn’t revolve around their controversial aspects. Meanwhile, with 7th Prince and Redo of Healer, the controversial stuff is literally the only thing of note about them, so anyone who would have been scandalized enough by them to kick up a controversy either completely passed them over or took one glance and decided it wasn’t worth their time. Additionally, Goblin Slayer and Mushoku both being insanely popular in spite of their controversial aspects means the spotlight of community scrutiny is constantly on them, whereas 7th Prince and Redo of Healer are fairly little known shows, so no one is under any real pressure or obligation to pay them any attention.

It’s like the difference between a low-budget no-name indie movie doing something offensive and a high-profile multi-billion dollar film franchise being just as offensive. Only the latter would ruffle any feathers because the significance itself is the problem that often gets a rise out of people.



Well that sure is a complete misrepresentation of what I said. I didn’t say the mind and personality are different, I said the root causes of each show’s respective infamy is different. With Mushoku, the issue is the character’s behavior, while with 7th Prince, the issue is the character design, they simply have nothing to do with each other.

If you need me to explain in even more gratuitous detail, the thing with 7th Prince is that people find his physical body/design is coded/drawn/framed in a way that’s generally recognized to be sexual, even though, despite said physical body being the part of him which is a child. Whether his mind is that of an adult doesn’t matter because the physical body is the focal point.

@Infamous_Empire Goblin Slayer - momentum. Lol, I always had a low regard for people who consider MT as something big, but this is a new low.
Reminder: characters in Goblin Slayer literally have no names, and the only appeal for people was literally rape and edgy shit.

@ZoronCraft I don't really know what your point is? I never said Goblin Slayer was any good, just that it was popular and had the attention of the whole community. I feel like you're mixing up quality and popularity here

@Infamous_Empire If your point was about popularity, then this is wrong mainly because Redo of Healer was pretty popular too... and literally for the same reason as Goblin Slayer—controversy. I just assumed that your point had something, but if you say so.

What does the US audience have to do with all that?

@Theo1899 BECAUSE its the fucking US audience complaining all day,

can you give me an example of a jp audience doing this? chinese or korean audience? no its literally always american audience that obsess over character's ages or age gaps etc.
literally all the time.

@Neostorm_Y You know there is a world beyond the US, Japan, China and Korea right?

Infamous Empire is right - it really does come down to popularity and mainstream exposure. The more people encounter a piece of media, the more people that will criticize aspects that offend them. There was less outrage surrounding Redo of Healer and Aristocrat Assassin because fewer people watched those shows. Not to mention that the assassin isn't a creep like Rudeus, and Redo of Healer was infamous enough to begin with. Everyone knew it was an edgy rape story, so only people interested in that watched it, and they were left with a full tub of popcorn and a flaccid dick in their hand when the people they were hoping would be offended just didn't watch it.

Now, as for 7th Prince specifically, what you have are complaints coming from a different source. The people complaining about the main character's design aren't the same people who complain about little girl sexualization, because they're probably not even watching this show - it's not that popular. The people complaining are more hardcore anime fans. They won't complain about Rebecca and Tatsumaki, because lolis appeal to them. Shotas don't, so when you get a show that sexualizes the little boy with provocative camera angles, it turns them off, and they tune out.

also to add on this,
the redo' authors other work, where a 90 year old assassin gets reincarnated as a kid again, he does the exact same thing as rudeus and even sleeps with his loli teacher yet no one cares lmao.

@Neostorm_Y what's the name of that anime?
