Watashi no Kokoro wa Oji-san de Aru - Vol. 1 Ch. 5

[Khazar123]

Yeah, absolutely. There are some people who cross a moral event horizon that you just don't come back from. Maybe this would have flown in the 90's (even then to my chagrin back in the day) but this just isn't on now.

Maybe -- and I mean maybe -- I can accept it if there was a whole chapter dedicated to how much this guy lost his way and is willing to repent or change after being shocked off that path. That kind of thing would be an amazing exploration of the human experience. But this comedic approach isn't it.

What did the 90s do to you for it to catch strays like that?

One of the most successful series was fifty shades of grey, which came long after the 90s, so I have to disagree with your time frame dissing.

 

[Mangamoz]

Oh you silly goobers, it's just a little bit of attempted gangrape, barely an inconvenience.

Let's be best friends for life.

Apparently being almost raped is such a minor deal in this world that this “friend” is ok pushing the MC to spend time with her would-be rapist for a free meal

Author heard the saying "Girls gotta eat!", and was like... "YES!!"

Oh that delayed sense of regret was great, definitely jumping up some notches with how much I think this is a good series and I already thought this series was fairly good. I hope it can this up from the early chapters.

Eri strikes me as a person who would totally drain someone's wallet through food if given the chance and reason, I like her quite a bit.

Maze Mega Burst Space OVA (spoiler: the r*pe is successful and it's treated as a cute moment)

Happousai's presence in Ranma 1/2

Molesting grandpa in Tenchi Muyo

etc. etc.

Disagree after doing your research under "shit that would not fly today"

No, you can be like Eri and very much not like him.

Also, Haruka said "a kind of little brother", not "a kind little brother".

Chances are, he doesn't like him either. It's just that she also doesn't like escalation of conflict, so she puts up with him.

What I do hope is that the sexual assaulter is forced to confront his f-ed up actions towards women, and actually has to fix that.

Additionally, I hope that Haruka ends up understanding that the thugs are being presumptuous about being around him and it is well within his right to make them stay away from him.

He thinks "he can't strongly tell them to stop", but he definitely should be able to. Making sure that bad actions have justified consequences isn't an escalation of conflict, it's literally justice.

If it's a problem of not wanting attention and not being able to speak up, he really needs to get help his self-esteem and learn how to be confident. Hopefully Eri and his new team thing do that.

Well part of my issue is that the thugs got away with it, scot free with next to zero repercussions.....ok I get that the MC doesn't want to kill, I can accept that part, but having four scum that would r@pe a girl (and judging by Eri's reaction, she knows it's not beyond them) solely because they imagine they can overpower her get away with it and even potentially be added as recurring characters instead of the MC giving them over to the authorities to have em rot in a cell, just leaves a very bad taste.

Shit that wouldn't fly today? Really?
Redo of the healer a story where the MC not only R@pes the targets of his enmity, but also psychologically manipulates them into being his slaves, and its considered a justifiable act of retribution.

Gushing over Magical Girls, the MC is literally doing all shorts of sexual things to her targets and it's seen as something funny.

Chained soldier, the MC is more or less enslaved, and girls have to reward him with sexual favors regardless of their will, and it is seen as a "bonding moment".

My life as Inukai-san's dog...because a horny man in a dog's body being in sexual situations with underaged girls is comedy!(the girls have no idea the dog is a reincarnated man btw).

etc. etc.


So yeah, he without sin and what not.

Yeah like @Someone011 said, I have seen lots of productions between the 80s to the 2020s, that still had these things happen in one way or another.

The thing that has changed majorly though is the industry, with the big depression after the golden 80s and 90s.(the downfall happened during the 90s)

Ultra detailed, sexy, violent, gory and weird OVA just because we can? Yeah sure, back then we got the budget. Making the money back? Meh... In the 21st century? Not so much anymore.
If you wanted to stay in the big industry it was starting to become important to have a certain mainstream appeal, as in, make money.
That's how we got the big rise in Moe.

Eh I don’t know if that’s really the case always, I see it similar to war, if your life is threatened and your only real option is to kill, you will likely take it to save yourself.

In this case she clearly overpowered them so there wasn’t really any reason to feel threatened given why I feel she’s retained her modern morals.

Not to say that killing someone once for self defence = fine with killing, but if the whole world runs that way, you’d likely conform to it for self preservation.

I think most isekai protags have some kinda scene which makes them realize they need to change to live, even if it’s not super in-depth, it’s quite rare for a isekai protag to be the one to kill unprompted.

the problem is the ones where they feel absolutely no guilt, which is a lot of the slop manga.

 

[sebaasdf]

I'm really starting to like this MC, I hope the manga and the story develop well because it is really refreshing

 

[MidnighTea]

The 90's still sucked and I wish I was born later so I didn't have to experience adolescence during them.

 

[Kanade0021]

Thanks for the translation!

 

[Blaze_Rod]

I wonder if MC is just inherently powerful or if modern thought patterns, concepts and visualization is helping them to shape magic more easily.

 

[goldencircle]

I like that she went back and the guy became a total bro.

It seems you missed it where the guy did just that.

My condolences, I really enjoyed growing up in the 90s.

It was a slap on the wrist for attempt assault/rape.

 

[AncientWatcher]

It's fine, translator. O and 0 look really similar in English, so I can why this sort of thing would happen.
