It calls for focusing on real-world problems instead of fictional content. ## Transcript 14,000 people that upvoted a Reddit post calling the author a pedo. And then over 4,000 people commenting within that post on the r/topcharactertropes subreddit indicating it's not just Twitter, but a large group trying to spread misinformation and hatred not just towards the series, but the author refugian as well because they write fictional stories. Then only a few days making skits for different anime subjects jumping onto the hate bandwagon to slander Mushoku Tensei with the same statements and rhetoric that the Kotaku journalist made earlier this last week indirectly calling the author a criminal as well. We also have very notorious haters of mine being outright hypocrites about the topic of slavery within Mushoku Tensei saying what happened within Shield Hero is perfectly fine and over exaggerated. The same series that have Raphtalia, the main female lead, and others openly admit they want to be Naofumi's slave. However, when it comes to Mushoku Tensei, oh boy, it's problematic. We cannot allow this stuff to exist at all or have any conversations about it. This goes for any content that might be darker themed within Mushoku Tensei, but if it's not Mushoku Tensei, if it's in your battle shonen that is deemed safe, that is A-OK. Then we got posts like this ended slavery within the world of Mushoku Tensei, but because he didn't, Mushoku Tensei, but because he didn't, he is a vile evil person. Before I go any further though, if you are enjoying this video and like this format, please you would like me to improve down in the comments below. It does help me out a the main point of the video. I'm going to start with this picture here because about this on YouTube and many of you subject that honestly I fully agree with. Any Comi 2019 comment saying, "The simple answer to the [ __ ] that posted that, he's not that powerful and he's not that influential. Any comment 2019 is completely right here. Rudeus might be strong, but he is not the strongest or will ever be the strongest. This is not your typical shonen series where the MC has to be the strongest within the universe. In fact, we already saw at the end of season 1 where Rudeus and his group encounter the Dragon God himself. Long story short, along with the animation I'm currently showing on screen, they stood no chance against Ruijerd is literally one of the strongest beings in the world of Mushoku Tensei. However, he encountered the strongest being walking the planet and that was the Dragon God. Within moments, he was dispatched of and tossed aside like literal garbage. The same man that the entire world fears by just hearing the name of his race. This right here is honestly where I should stop when it comes to covering comments about this post alone, but I want to show a few more. Daddy1886 comments saying if the entire series turned into Rudeus dedicating his life to abolishing slavery worldwide, they would call it a white savior complex. You can't win with these people like this. Daddy is story would be written around slavery and even if the character dedicated his entire life to ending it, the hatred against the series would not end. I mean, most of the hatred being thrown onto this series is from people that don't even watch it to begin with. I mean, look at this post alone. This comments about the moment Rudeus and Kishirika meet within season 1. It's the moment where Rudeus gets his own demon eye that allows him to see briefly into the future by a few seconds like foresight. Their argument is that Rudeus is going after her, but if this account actually watched the story, they would know who she actually is. She is the demon queen. Someone that has been reincarnated tons of times over and over again. She is not eight like this account is implying. The reason this is relevant is because people like to say just because Rudeus was reincarnated and started his life over as a baby, it doesn't mean he is a kid again. To them, he is still a grown man. So, if we apply that logic to what people do to Rudeus, then Kishirika should be in the exact then Kishirika should be in the exact same boat. However, she clearly is not. Why is that? Well, first off, the easy answer is that the account hasn't this obviously to jump onto the hate bandwagon. The other logical answer is that when it comes to women, it's about appearance, never anything else. Body shaming, so to speak. However, when it comes to men, they're the exact appearance, it's always about what's inside their head or potentially their mental age. It's never about their external appearance like what you see going on with Kishirika right here. The same rules here, this hypocrisy that we see with these two individuals isn't just applied to Mushoku Tensei, it's applied to anime and manga as a whole. Let me present a curious dilemma. You Let me present a curious dilemma. You know how lolis are problematic? When is the last time you heard the same outrage towards shotas? Few and very far between and that right there shows the hypocrisy. Nikko Li commented saying, "They complain about fictional slavery but won't ever speak against ongoing slave trade on the African continent. Just saying." Now, the reason I'm showing this one is because of how much energy is poured just Mushoku Tensei, but fictional content as a whole. But, the same energy is never used for real problems. I don't want to get too deep into politics here, but this might be a hot take. I think real slavery is worse than something within a fictional story. We can also talk about the selective outrage with people calling the author a pedo over writing a fictional fantasy story. Why aren't these people demanding for the Epstein files to be released or going after the UK and EU covering up literal gangs? Oh, that's why. They'd rather just immortalize Epstein through memes and [ __ ] on a light novel series instead of actually dealing with real problems. There's a lot more I could say on this topic, but I think the most important thing here is that it's not just a Twitter problem. There's a lot of bad actors on every single major site pushing these dangerous narratives that are trying to defame the author and not just the series. I hope Rifujin remains strong and ignores the haters that want him to end his entire career. For now, I'll leave it at that.
