Roxy grooming Rudeus

Haters went from "Rudeus bad" bad to "Roxy bad" really fast.

well you haters complain about rudeus grooming "Little girls", now why would this consider grooming with your line of thinking if mentally speaking rudeus Is 40 years old. y'all delusional

No, she just made him feel better and also took the chance to attain her own happiness.

tell me, if she didn't do that, would Rudeus have gotten any better? would he have made it in time for Sylphie's birth? would he have remained the same Rudeus he was before his father's death?

think before typing bro, just cause he was down in the dumps doesn't mean that she took advantage of him, even in the latest episode, she put his wife's feelings over her own and decided to leave (before Sylphie stopped her)

@Zarutaku TRUE, This is still grooming. Flip the situation with Rudeus & Roxy. And you wouldn’t hear the end of it

I feel the same way

There’s a lot of weirdness going on since Roxy/Rudeus could theoretically be the least problematic Rudy-related ship in the show, but the fact that Roxy doesn’t know about Rudy having had the mind of an adult the entire time + how she takes advantage of him really makes her come across as a cradle robber. It’s very weird to have a ship in this show where Rudy isn’t the most problematic part of it, but I get the feeling that the author just can’t help but pull shit like this.

And while I get the whole thing the show was going for about how that moment “saved” Rudy, that really runs headfirst into my problem with how most of Rudy’s relationships with the women of his life revolve almost entirely around sex in a way that feels less like a story necessity and more like the author just writing with one hand. This goes especially for his relationship with Roxy here, since their romantic development is so absurdly rushed, it just feels like the author is using the “sex with Roxy saved Rudy” thing as just a shortcut to get through this as fast as possible, and in doing so pretty much disregards any potential nuances or complications to their relationship besides “well what if Sylphie doesn’t approve?”

There’s a million ways this show could’ve made Roxy/Rudy work (kick it down the road a little, have Roxy find out about Rudy being a reincarnated adult, give it more time to build up like they did with Rudy/Sylphie, etc.), but the author chose the route which feels the most unnatural and uncomfortable.

It is a product of censorship since the anime studio did not want Rudeus to be a clear agressor in cheating. In the og Rudeus initiated it and was very rough with Roxy.

@Piromysl I’ve never been hater of the show, but yall kids think any criticism forwards something you likes makes you a hater

@Piromysl ^Exhibit A of MT fans trying to defend everything in the series and calling anyone who doesn't hold that same belief "haters" 💀

@SkyhighCFC Nice mental gymnastics to see two consenting adults and somehow see grooming. Especially afer whole three years of constantly hearing "rudy is 30+ yo in adult body". Pretty wild take, especially after just making a tread about people supposedly defending MT no matter what, yet here we see people attacking no matter what. Hypocrisy much?

@Piromysl You already proved to me in another thread that you lack reading comprehension skills and that you just brainlessly defend everything for every character in the show does (even tried to claim Rudy didn't cheat despite the fact that every character involved acknowledged he cheated). So ima keep this very brief:

1. I never said Roxy groomed Rudeus.
2. I never gave a damn about the "Rudy is a 30+ year old in a child's body" types
3. Even if I was, Roxy doesn't know that anyway so that means nothing.
4. Roxy, know Rudy has a pregnant wife at home, in her own words "took advantage of his mental state" and slept with him. Regardless of her reasons for doing so, these actions can be criticized 👍🏾

@SweatyFingers That’s cool & all but that’s still grooming😭, I’m not criticizing her for comforting Rudeus. But for taking advantage of MC in worst moments to fuck.

yeah im not denying that, but she also fixed him so it was justifiable (this scene is better in the LN ngl, they ruined it in the anime)

my "justifiable" i mean't acceptable/forgiveable, my English ain't on point, sorry :/

@CrispyG And you being (allegedly) a fan of the show excuses you from making such an idiotic take only an average MT hater would make how exactly?

bro Rudeus is ligit an adult 😭

15 is the age you become an adult in the MT verse

If you swap the genders in these scenes I can guarantee you there'd be outrage stemming from this situation lmao

What I find common among the MT fandom is that they will try their hardest to defend every action from characters they like in the series even if those actions aren't meant to be defended. Roxy fans are no exception to this. I've seen people say she did nothing wrong which is insane to me lmao

Oh and btw before anyone accuses me of being a hater or being a snowflake...I literally love MT. Pointing out a character did something objectively bad does not mean I hate the character or series as a whole. I still like Roxy for the most part. I'm just not gonna defend her actions in this part of the story because they are not worth defending imo.

@CrispyG It's literally not grooming, criticising the show is fair but misrepresenting what happened is not.

its called "grooming" if its done with a child

and its called "being taken advantage of" if its done with an adult


im not saying that she didnt take advantage of him, she did indeed, but she was the only reason he got better

@talisism but it is, Roxy’s been know Rudy since he was able to walk & played a pivotal role as a mentor. Then initiate sex after a large amount of grief from Rudy’s parents & actively walking away from Roxy. He barely concent’s and just lays there & never says a word. From Roxy’s pov that’s grooming
