A thing people need to learn is that "Bad writing" is not the same as "Fiction that makes me feel icky". Either you have the emotional maturity to differentiate fiction from reality and able to enjoy different kind of stories, including one of a scarred degenerate slowly growing up in his new life. Which is another thing people forget, Rudeus has been socially and mentally stunted due to his trauma, he never technically got to "Grow up" because of the circumstances of his last life.

No, it's called "Being able to differentiate fiction from reality". Rudy is not meant to be a "Role model", it's a long, slow story about someone slowly improving and changing themselves over time in a world with completely different morals and world views. "Calling it out" is like Christian moms calling out "Darkwing Duck" for being "Too violent" or "videogames for being too violent". It's puritanical and boils down to the inherently restrictive view that fiction should be limited by morals.I love how all the people who are like "Twitter gonna loooove this" recognize the problems with what they are watching (hence the comments) but then turn around and act like the people who are rightfully calling it out are actually the weird ones.

I love that the soy cope defense that everyone uses whenever someone criticizes the show is that they “can’t differentiate fiction from reality” or that they’re just tourists lmao. I can only imagine that the cringe people saying this stuff probably relate to Rudy’s past life a little too well.
The reality is that people are holding this show to a standard of quality that it demonstrated in S1 and the show isn’t delivering in S2. This season is devoid of any interesting plot progression and is instead trying to use boring fanservice as a crutch to squeeze out a couple more episodes.
Notice how people don’t freak out and “call out” scenes like the Eclipse in Berserk because the disgusting and awful shit that happens is actually an impactful plot point and it isn’t deployed for cheap humor or for fetishized satisfaction.

Quite frankly I just don't think people who only watch anime to post on twitter would go back that far... |
| Cucumber ice cream is the best! |
| Great lesson for the young beasts!!! kekeke |
| Rudeus really admired his master that he went and took the revenge for the statue. |
| That's one way to get more followers LMAO, awkward way to start their friendship but if it works it works amirite? |
| the 2 beast girl lol 1 throws other under the buss by in other words saying: u can touch her boobs any time but not mine lol |

Have one episode that isn't weird impossible challenge. Bro seriously considers murdering a child and then molests girls that he's kidnapped and tied up in his room and Zanoba is just chill with it apparently. What the hell man I'm really trying to enjoy this show but it's just so weird and degenerate it's getting more difficult every episode
| @Eprico and @PhenomenaL_One u2 take the series 2seriously, its fiction not reality geez in anime/manga world/culture u2 are the odd balls :), cause ppl in it don't add so much reality in to it and don't take it so seriously, ppl in it understand that art and ecchi/pervy and edgy humor is the best and funniest, also some1 going this radical in a series to punish some1 is also funny |

@Sugram22 everyone you speak to in real life thinks you're weird and creepy
| @Eprico nah not awry1, only puritan weirdos who yell online (outrage about stuff) and also tourists who don't understand manga/anime culture and dirty humor awry thing what is funny in anime is not funny in live action (only some of the humor works in live action), i know this concept is hard to understand but that's how it is |

@Sugram22 all of your favourite shows are power fantasy harems. Speaking to actual women is a hard concept for you to understand bro. You know who understands dirty humour? Children.
| @Eprico there are plenty adults who are in to dirty humor to not all but half power fantasy's are the most fun/entertaining mostly cause they are most comedic |

| I love how both Zanoba and Julie freaked out when they saw Roxy's panties, then they both kept chanting Roxy~Roxy~Roxy! ;'D I hope Sylphy will reveal her identity to Rudeus in this season. |

MC lost all his character development to be an isekai perv who's indifferent to slavery
| @Esp747 please explain the logistics of how he can do anything about it? If anything him taking one and giving them a better life is a net positive. |
| Fitz-senpai could lie with straight face... I even believed their words about the tribal incantation that would make the face paint permanent! |
| That was a weird episode, Rudeus just kidnapped two of his classmates, groped them and they weren't even that mad about it. |
| Rudy crazy for all the stuff he doing this episode quite silly episode overall lmao |
  me candies:        |
| This doggo girl really cute too. Damn, can match to Sylphy but their bobba is like earth and sky. Roxy figure are tear apart, damn it was masterpiece for real. Hope Rudy fix it soon. So far this only episode that i enjoy it. |
| I like those cat girls. |
 |
| Julie is so cute! And the two Beast girls too! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Hmm... while this episode was enjoyable for its comedic aspect I hated the fact that it completely disregarded Rudeus background. I mean, he was victim of bullying in the real world and now he does basically the same to them, kindapping them and leaving them overnight to wet themselves. Acting mighty and from the position of power? How is that right? (it was the similiar problem as in the last episode where he was willing to buy a slave and didn't even question whole fact - even though he should have plenty of knowledge about this topic from his own world). Things like these really triggers my disbelief of the whole situation and undermines the great worldbuilding from the last season. Not to mention he could repair the statue in an instant as he said himself. Other than Fitz parts, I really don't know what this episode aimed to achieve. |
