      What grinds my gears is how many offended viewers A) cannot separate fact from fiction; and B) cannot understand fiction to be a (safe) place to explore tough subjects and concepts. MT is a great example of redemption and second chances. Two concepts that don't always seem to exist in IRL and it is important to explore that journey. Just like a young man toying with a dangerous life altering relationship with an older woman... Hey fine it's cool. Police your own viewing habits. Police your own kids. I wonder if these people are consistent and complain about Twilight and Hotel Transylvania.
      (And i kinda go off the rails here) And I wonder if they view age as an indication of how evil a person is capable. Or in another way how they must view life not in the mess that it is but in a regimented moral landscape in which every person experiences exactly what they are supposed to at every exact moment. Like Rudy would be 50 on earth really means what these people think it means.

      Because in Japan they have this belief that your morale character changes the most and becomes what it will become from the ages from about 14-18
      That's why these characters are these ages, even in anime aimed at older people. Because it's compelling to watch a young person have their morales formed and them to be challenged and grow.

    As a woman who grew up in the 1990's-2000's shoujo manga era, crazy age differences are absolutely nothing new to the medium. Most my friends were also interested heavily in hot older celebrities, like Brad Pitt. I'm not sure the impact of nature vs nurture here, so I can't say there is nothing that could hypothetically be done to curb "problematic" attractions or even if stomping out their use in media would make a difference in the way people find others attractive, but I'm also an artist myself and I find the notion of limiting what people should be allowed to express in art (with very few exceptions) to be quite scary.
    If you're one of the people who does want to see less of this kind of media, I feel like the _right_ thing to do would be to bring more attention to the real life issues being portrayed. If more people were inherently against age differences in relationships for realistic reasons, I feel more media creators simply would make less of it (particularly non-critical portrayals) of their own volition. Active bans should only really be used when 1) there is significant proof of the harm being done by the media, 2) there are no alternatives to banning it to curb its influence, and 3) the benefit of banning the media to society far outways the limit it would pose on fictional portrayals of the problem of _all_ kinds (including critical portrayals). Otherwise, it's no different than schools and libraries banning LGBTQ+ books based on hypothetically legit fears of unproven, misunderstood, and fear-mongered non-realities.
    I'm fine with age restrictions on a platform, trigger warnings, and even reviews intended to inform potential viewers of what to expect lest this one aspect of the media ruin everything good about it (it happens, and it's okay). But a lot of these reviews simply boil down to "This thing is socially unacceptable and it made me mad, so I'm going to drag its score down as far as I can with this review out of spite and justify it with surface-level social commentary", and that... doesn't sound very responsible to me. This is only personal advice, though. People can write whatever reviews they like. It just sits wrong with me. It doesn't feel like a responsible use of the review system.
    Also, flashbacks to several youtubers who hated Re:Zero because of Subaru's incellish outburst. A lot of them even finished the story and that moment painted their judgment over like fog on glasses, causing them to take the show in bad faith and miss the whole start of Subaru's redemption arc. Like, hell, people. Who in their right mind thought the show was endorsing his entitlement?

    Honestly these people are privileged as hell if their biggest concern is a fictional character's age, race, gender etc.

    The OST and the artstyle in this anime is incredible. At times I do feel that the story itself gets kinda dull at times, but I enjoy this anime alot.

    Sound arguments from Echidnut. Didn't even know this was a thing or that so many people dislike the series I genuinely look forward to most each week.

    As a vampire I can say that 40 years old is still very young to be dating. You have to be at least a hundred years old to date.
