What do MRA have to do with anything.
I'm not gonna link to every time I said a criticism of things I like, because it would be a waste of time.
It's totally possible to like problematic fiction and realize it's bad, in fact there's an entire thread about it.
Fairly often after he begins trying to repopulate his village and form a pseudo-PMC. He leans on the Slave Trader to acquire former residents of the town that had been sold into slavery, and powerful combatants to serve under him. The closest thing to levity this subplot is treated with are when some groups hear about this and use said trader as an intermediary to try and insert women of their choosing into the process. Its pretty hamfisted and treated with appropriate disdain in story, before going to actual slaves and showing them living in squalor and disease. It uses this angle to fellate Naofumi as some kind of heroic figure, rather than justify slavery as a whole. Granted, I read Shield Hero for the same reason I watch its always Sunny, so me not buying into that stuff hardly ruins the story for me.
Sure.
True, but if we are airing dirty laundry about past misdeeds supposedly invalidating people's opinions, I thought I might as well
Sure, and thats totally on point.
People that typically complain over feminist angles in whatever get referred to as MRAs as a shorthand. Its why I used the term there since you referenced those kinds of individuals in the post you linked.
As if I asked you to do that, lol
Oh you went there lol
Thanks for summing up a pretty good reason why Shield Hero is terrible in the first eight words of your post.
Sure, and thats your right.
???
he...totally is though?
Do go on, I'm curious.
Does the story treat him like a villain to be stopped for all this?
A black mark is a black mark, though. I tend to take people less seriously when they act so dogmatic in their blind hatred to the point where they try and take over the entire thread through sheer reply density.
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Give incels a chance?
I mean, you misrepresented my post to make a joke and dismiss the argument therein.
No, because frequently hes faced off against people who are just as bad but not provided sympathetic perspectives by the author.
Yep.
First eight words of the post I quoted, to be clear. Those being "The Slave Trader is treated as a joke".
If you admit that it's a shitshow, then why are you so emotionally invested in fighting on its behalf?
Sure, and feel free to show where I was dogmatic when you act as if that applies to me, rather than stating a belief in personal accountability that is more extreme than the norm.
Except after two separate coup attempts, and three attempts to kill her younger sister who was the actual crown princess.
If you read just a little farther into my post, you'll see that I asked "Why didn't she just execute Malty normally? What was the in-universe reason to give her to the mega ultra rapist?"
okay
I mean, I'm not calling you a liar to your face or anything, but the evidence is there for anyone willing to look.
Because I enjoy reading it.
I don't really feel compelled to root for Light all that much, off the top of my head.
