And my latest crime? Liking an anime. Yes, seriously. I like Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, and apparently that is enough for some people online to start questioning my morality. The usual accusations quickly followed. People call the series "problematic," insist that anyone who enjoys it must share the worst traits of its protagonist, and act as though watching a fictional story is equivalent to endorsing everything that happens in it. But here's a rather important distinction that seems to escape these people: Fiction is not a moral endorsement of everything depicted in it. Mushoku Tensei follows Rudeus Greyrat, a deeply flawed protagonist who gets another chance at life in a fantasy world. He's intelligent, ambitious, and capable of genuine growth, but he's also a p*rvert who makes some genuinely questionable decisions. Those flaws are part of his character, and they create conflict that the story has to contend with. You don't have to approve of everything Rudeus does to appreciate his character arc. In fact, that's what makes complicated characters interesting. A character doesn't have to be morally perfect to be well-written. They can be selfish, immature, cowardly, arrogant, or downright unpleasant in certain situations. They can make terrible decisions and face the consequences. They can struggle to become better people without instantly transforming into flawless heroes. That's called character development. Unfortunately, parts of modern internet culture seem increasingly incapable of distinguishing between depicting bad behavior and endorsing bad behavior. If a character does something objectionable, the character must be irredeemable. If you enjoy the story, you must support the character's worst actions. And if a writer explores an uncomfortable subject, the entire work is apparently beyond redemption. It's an incredibly shallow way to engage with fiction. And the same attitude can be seen in arguments about modern video games and remakes. Characters are redesigned, stories are rewritten, and existing personalities are sometimes flattened into more conventional heroes who are expected to embody the correct values at all times. Look at the debates surrounding Dragon Age: The Veilguard and the broader controversy over modern character writing. The criticism isn't simply that characters have changed. It's that some modern stories seem afraid to let their protagonists be genuinely flawed, morally complicated, or even unpleasant without immediately reassuring the audience about their intentions. But the best fictional characters aren't always the ones we'd want to spend time with in real life. They're the ones who make us think, feel something, question our assumptions, and become invested in what happens next. In this video, I discuss the backlash I received for liking Mushoku Tensei, explain why morally complicated protagonists can make for compelling stories, and examine why parts of Twitter seem determined to turn entertainment into another ideological loyalty test. Because sometimes a flawed character is just a flawed character. And sometimes a great story asks you to engage with uncomfortable things rather than pretending they don't exist.
