Was really getting into Mushoku Tensei until Rudeus bought a slave. I know slavery, and MCs getting involved with it, is nothing new in isekais, but I've never felt so much disgust for all the characters involved like I did with Mushoku.

Rudeus, Fitz/Sylphiette, and Zanoba stand outside the slave market with quite serious faces, only for Syl to gawk at the deadeyed nude slaves genitals, and Rudeus to internally remark about sexual experience. They then proceed to go through a catelog of slaves, talking about preferences and desired characteristics, as if they were buying furniture and wanted it to fit the colour scheme they were going for in their home. They are talking about the type of person and race they want to buy, and children no less! And through the movement through the market towards the slave they want to buy Rudeus' inner monologue is silent. Then coming to their desired slave child, a Dwarf girl, Rudeus mulls over whether he should put her out of her misery, or not, questions her on whether she wants to live, compares his own feelings and past to hers. She is a child slave, not even seven, separated from her family, each of whom were sold, and thinks she should choose to live or die. He is a 40+ year old man, who even in his darkest hours had the luxuries of a home and modern day utilities for his first life, and immense magic skills, powerful comrades and an adult intellect for his second/current life. Then after buying the girl they feed her, and Slyphiette fawns over her like they just bought a puppy, and not one of the many tortured child slaves. But then they learn that the Dwarf child has no personalised name, which would otherwise be given to the child by her parents on her seventh birthday, so they decide to name her, but do they follow Dwarf naming traditions, anything like that, no, they name her for Zanoba's dead brother. And this jaunt into slavery is all so Zanoba can have someone to make him fucking figurines.
