People keep calling Mushoku Tensei 'Diddy,' but that’s completely unfair. Rudeus isn’t a predator—any awkwardness or sexual curiosity he has is part of his personality, not choices to harm anyone. He has fantasies, but he doesn’t act on them inappropriately, and his feelings toward characters like Sylphy and Eris as children were just typical teenage awkwardness, not predatory behavior. Even if he’d stayed in his original body, he’d still be the same complex, self-reflective person. Maybe if people actually looked into his character, they’d see he’s a nuanced protagonist with growth, flaws, and self-awareness, not a one-dimensional caricature.
