From what I recall that panel where Malty gloats about selling women to brothels is from a doujin written by fans, not anything official, yet I've seen at least 2 people using it to show off how Malty is irredeemable

Also, I don't know who would think that "Malty's mother genuinely loved her" ! She literally mocked her when she was about to be sent to the Pig King, being all "my heart aches at the idea of what you'll suffer there"

The 2 arguments I often see against Malty are "Malty killed her brother" or "Malty sold women to slavery" - the first doesn't hold up since she was a kid and the actual murderer confessed, and the second is just Aneko coming up with more reasons for the readers to hate Malty

This is from u/ManufacturerBroad340 by the way - he made Malty in Tomodachi Life and she unironically got more recognition there than in her canon universe apparently ! It's nice that there's one universe where Malty lives a peaceful life

I want to play Tomodachi Life now

I'll begin :

- How to handle a toxic family

- Weak points of shields

- How to hide from those who want to send you to Death Rape Pain Factory

- How to prove you didn't poison your brother

- Am I the asshole for trying to kill my little sister

- r/MaltyMelromarcSquad

- Rising of the Shield Hero Web Novel Chapter 252

- r/eyebleach

- r/NaofumiHate

- Why people think I'm the second coming of Judge Holden

She's never left anyone indifferent and that is a good thing for any fictional character - even back when I believed she was just a one-dimensional hate sink without any dephts, she was still the most memorable character in the series to me !

For Naofumi, I just chose a black-haired actor 😅 Plus, I knew I had to cast the Rock as the blacksmith and Scarlet Johansson as Malty

For the Faubley King, I thought about using Jeffrey Epstein or Andrew of Windsor, but I thought it could be too much and I decided to choose someone who looked like how I imagined the Pig King - hence the Penguin from the 1992 Batman movie

Also, I imagine Raphtalia would just be a CGI animal 😂

If they indeed just added this scene to spite Malty fans - which I find unlikely - it would be extremely petty and also unecessary since Malty already gets punished later in the source material

I got the idea to make this post because of u/Altruistic_Yard9338's comments about Omni-Man. For those who don't know, he's a character from Invincible - an alien conqueror who came on Earth to infiltrate it, married a human woman and raised their son for years, before betraying them, killing people he worked with for years and beating his own son to an inch of his life (not to mention, he called his wife a pet) !

Yet he manages to be a fan-favorite even though his betrayal was objectively worse than Malty's - at least Malty didn't commit mass murder !
