Dex Addresses ‘Made in Abyss’ Endorsement Backlash

The cast and crew of MBC’s “Adventure By Accident” season 3 recently attended a press conference, where YouTuber and TV personality Dex addressed a recent online controversy surrounding his recommendation of the Japanese animation series “Made in Abyss”. The “Single’s Inferno” star faced criticism after endorsing the R17+ (in the United States) anime, which has been a source of controversy due to its graphic content, including violence and scenes raising concerns about child exploitation.

“Please do not worry too much,” Dex said. “I believe that the issue was caused by differences in perspectives, as we all have lived different lives and have different experiences.” 

“I have lived a well-grounded life up until now,” he continued. “But what I considered unproblematic may still be viewed as problematic by others, and so I will make sure to be cautious in that regard from now on. I will continue to live a grounded life, while making adjustments as not to concern others, including my fans who were worried about me.”

Why is ‘Made in Abyss’ So Problematic?

“Made In Abyss”, created by Akihito Tsukushi, unfolds a narrative centered around a young girl named Riku and her companion, Reg, as they navigate the perilous pit known as the Abyss. While the series has received acclaim for its fantasy and adventure elements, it has equally faced backlash for its portrayal of graphic violence, torture, and provocative scenes involving underage characters.

The controversy surrounding the anime sparked discussions about the appropriateness of recommending such content, especially considering its sensitive themes. Dex’s endorsement drew attention to the ethical considerations surrounding content recommendations, particularly when it involve potentially problematic material.

The press conference provided Dex with an opportunity to address the concerns raised by the online controversy. The incident serves as a reminder of the responsibility influencers and personalities have in being mindful of the content they endorse, considering the potential impact on their audience and the broader cultural discourse. As discussions around content choices continue, it highlights the need for individuals in the public eye to approach such matters with sensitivity and awareness of the potential implications.
