Yuppppp. Rurouni Kenshin is a series with a very wholesome protagonist and message, but when its creator was found with sexually exploitative videos of young girls, some people said "Well this sure paints Kenshin's backstory and quest to become a good person in a new light." Like it was now obviously all along a redemption fantasy metaphor for the mangaka redeeming himself.

I mean, the author did have an obvious taste for underage love interests in his stories and I hated the romances he wrote but it's nothing unusual for the genre and not something that automatically makes an author a real life pedo.

My guy he marries someone who is like 16 when he himself is 28 and Megumi is in a relationship with someone equally as young to her being older. Looking back, yeah, it made a lot more fucking sense. It wasn't the redemption aspect that ooged people, it was how huge the age gaps between love interests were quite often. (Yahiko got it, too, IIRC, with one of the toddler girls when they were older, IIRC?)

He also got married to an older woman when he himself was very much underage (and murdered her husband). And then there was the Misao and Aoshi thing which was similarly skeevy in hindsight.
