Anyone who calls Mushoku Tensei a “grooming-based story” clearly never watched the actual show.
Kotaku got the ages wrong, twisted the context, and clearly copy-pasted half their “research” from Reddit outrage threads.
Do not get your information from Reddit.
I’m so tired of tourists in the anime space craping on almost every series that doesn’t pass their purity test.
Tell me you’re a tourist without telling me you’re a tourist.
This series is about a deeply broken man getting a second chance and painfully learning how to become a better person.
It’s messy, uncomfortable, and honest... something these people will never understand.
Articles like this just prove what they are: parasites who infest every fandom just to lecture and destroy.

PlayStation Network has been down for almost 6 hours now (and counting).
User reports confirm problems with login, server connections, online multiplayer, the PlayStation Store, and launching many digital games.
Official PlayStation status: “All services are experiencing issues.”
Physical disc games generally still work offline.
More game developers are backing Steam’s AI disclosure policy, saying players deserve to know when generative AI has been used in a game.
In interviews with GamesRadar, many indie developers said Valve’s requirement to disclose AI-generated content is the right move because it gives players transparency and helps them make informed decisions.
Erenshor creator Brian “Burgee” said, “Gamers have a right to know how their games are made, and a right to choose what they’re supporting.”
If by boost you mean using a defibrillator on a days old corpse, then sure.
These writers need to take a statistics class before talking about player numbers.
"Don't try to affect meaningful change, just give up!"
No thank you. I applaud everyone who's keeping the pressure up, and you should. Better to go down swinging than quietly into the night.
Even if it doesn't happen, other ears and eyes are present. Perhaps someone will fill the niche.

The EU’s highest court has ruled that VPNs are legal tools, and VPN companies cannot be blamed simply because users employ them to bypass geo-blocks.
The ruling stems from a copyright case involving Anne Frank’s writings.
A Belgian website published some of her manuscripts online but blocked visitors from the Netherlands, where parts of the work remain protected by copyright until 2037.
Anne Frank’s rights holders argued the site was still breaking the law because users could bypass the block with a VPN.
The court disagreed and ruled that a website using effective geo-blocking cannot be held responsible if some users circumvent it with a VPN.
The judges also affirmed that VPNs are legitimate privacy tools.
Yoko Taro, the creator of NieR: Automata, says he’s genuinely sad to see physical games disappearing.
After PlayStation announced it will stop making physical discs for new games from 2028, Yoko said he believes it’s just the direction the industry is heading.
He admitted he thought physical games would survive as premium collector’s editions, even if digital became the main way people bought games.
“Personally, I’m saddened by the loss of physical media, but that’s just the way things are going.”
“As keeping control of physical distribution has its advantages compared to just releasing games on Steam etc., I thought that in the future, even if digital game downloads were pushed, there would still be expensive limited editions (like what we see with CDs). Seems I was wrong.”
Yoko also pointed to Nintendo’s Switch 2 Game Key Cards as another sign of the shift.
This has to be ragebait. Gaming journalism doesn’t pay enough, so they’ve resorted to attacking Mushoku Tensei instead.
Rudeus starts as a deeply broken person carrying trauma from his previous life. The actual story is about him growing and becoming a better person in his second life. Reducing the whole thing to “50-year-old groomer” completely misses that.
Australia is planning some of the world's toughest AI regulations
• Water usage will be limited
• AI data centers will be required to become net producers of energy
• AI companies can't train on Australian creators' work without their permission
• Proposals expected to be introduced as legislation in 2027
“Australian writers, musicians, artists and journalists must retain ownership and control of their work. Our laws will spell that out, plain as day ... anything less is theft"
