Yeah, subaru doesn't really act realistic. Most of the time anyway

mental health when it comes to dying. It doesn't work cause no human being can endure what subaru. That alone makes him unrealistic. If he was, arc 2 was when the series if I'm being generous

@Megaman-is-hard1 Is that really even a negative point, though?

@QcDiablo yes, because he's being portrayed as a realistic protagonist. the concept doesn't work, and it only does because plot armor

also, mental illness and pyschological damage are treated as a joke. The story rewards overly self sacrifical behavior (while constantly condemning it as well and treating self preservation over trying to suffer to appease your abusers as wrong). or borderline has speeches help subaru recover like it's a fucking shonen. It's not realistic. If the story wants to treat things like pyschological damage more seriously, then why are you having moments subaru recovers and gets back up despite falling into despair so easily? i doubt most humans are like that, and that ignores that three deaths would cause someone to go insane or become catatonic. It makes the damage of dying over and over seem like a joke since the story bombards subaru with so much trauma, but then the recovery process takes one episode, and he keeps going and succeeds.

Are they really treated as a joke when they were used by an actual psychologist to give lessons of psychology?

And by the way, no one disputes the fact that Subaru’s mental resilience is unmatched, but that makes him uncommon, not unrealistic.

The inner workings of his brain are still consistent with real life psychology, the only change that one can point out is the increased ability to tolerate psychological pain. Which doesn’t dismiss how everything else works.

In a sense, it would be the equivalent of an author making a train in their novel that works with the exact same mechanism as a real life one but that either doesn’t run out of fuel ever due to a fictional source of energy or that is made of a fictional material that makes it unbreakable.

No matter those creative liberties, all the rest still obeys basic physics and engineering.

Same with Subaru’s psyche.

And even then, he has gone catatonic in the past even then, which shows that this increased resilience isn’t unbreakable in the first place.

Next, a story cannot reward or condemn: a story is just a set of events occurring with no inherent moral compass or agency (nor it can have one, otherwise it’d be a reification fallacy).

I have had this debate millions of times, so I’ll gladly school you about it.

Stories are just set of events governed by cause and effect, which still exists in fictional worlds. As such, cause and effect cannot punish or reward: a hurricane is not a punishment for people polluting the earth, for example. A hurricane is just a hurricane.

Same exact thing with stories.

Second of all, those speeches never fix the deep psychological issues that Subaru suffers from, they help him cope with it, which is different.

Someone may lose their entire house and family in an accident and thanks to a friend who supported them back up they’ll maybe be able to cope with it and do better, despite the inherent trauma never being fully treated.

The same thing happens with Subaru.

His trauma from arc 3, for example, never truly healed up until arc 5. Proof of this is how he immediately crumbled apart after losing the person who made him be able to cope with it: Rem.

not to mention, a lot of characters feel forced. Like, they're made for the sole purpose of bullying the mc and get away with it. It gets SUPER repetive and really makes the dama forced and annoying. Like, characters can't make basic common sense decisions and make themselves look like callious, dumbass nutjobs just so subaru can die and be traumatized, only for it to not matter since he bends over, takes it up it the ass, and gets rewarded for it, and all the horrible things done to him BARELY matter. Even then, the story randomly picks and chooses who he's allowed to hold grudges with despite the MAJORITY OF PEOPLE AROUND HIM FUCK HIM UP AND HURT HIM! How is that realistic? Realistically, he should a grudge with almost EVERYONE in the re zero verse, but nope. That would be realistic, human, and believable, and the only way for the story to progress is that he needs to not do that for certain characters the author chooses so his story can work. Not to mention, he picks which characters actions are unacceptable and who's worth saving, despite killing people who are not only have more sympathetic backstories than the people he saves, but the people he saves do more heinous shit than the people he kills and holds grudges with (cough cough puck)

The reason people hold a grudge towards others is when they suspect malicious wrongdoing. You hold a grudge when someone deliberately, using their own free will and in a rational state of mind, decides to go out of their way to hurt you and get something out of it.

The people who Subaru forgives never did their wrongdoing as a form of self-fulfillment but rather as a reaction of extreme trauma or severely bad psychological distress.

This is important because it is not the same thing to deliberately chose to hurt somebody than to be pushed to do so due to your internal psyche.

Of course, us humans usually have no idea what goes inside the other person’s mind, and due to that we cannot empathize with them if they engage in wrongdoing against us.

But that doesn’t apply to Subaru’s case because RBD is the thing that allows him to see every single aspect of every character around him, and due to that, he can infer whether their behavior is inherently malicious or whether they are good people corrupted due to their past or the society they live in.

That obviously has a limit when we are talking about people that will keep doing harm to others no matter what you do to try to change them, which is why he has decided to only kill archbishops of sin (not to mention this also ties back to the traumatic events of arc 3).

The next thing is Subaru’s character, who is very similar to Emilia in the sense that he constantly tries to see the good in those around him (though Emilia applies this universally), which ties back to his constant search of other people’s approval.

As I said, all of these complaints come from lack of paying attention to the story and not trying to even analyze it.

I don’t know though why I am bothering to write all of this when I am talking to a guy who unironically thinks MAL reviews have any ounce of validity and that has conversations with himself in his alt account (wink wink, double test, wink wink, Nature Mud).
