    Had episode 2 shown us some crazy fantasy world, I wouldn't have bothered thinking about Denji's past anymore. Instead, we got to see realistic, modern day Japan PLUS that one fantasy element. So that exacerbated my negative reaction to how Denji could possibly have ended up the way he did.

    "She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court

    Actually, the show hasn't shown us any shit worth thinking about in that regard.
    We know nothing about the society they live in.
    In the first place, they are recruiting unstable demon-like beings to fight demons (fire with fire), they might as well recruit kids fighting demons if they have the ability to do so, for all we know.
    I don't know/can't remember if it was mentioned how old Power and Denji are for example... or if anyone even cares about that.

    At this point we/you are still assuming everything is "normal" aside from demons walking around.

    Ok, we know nothing, but I'm wrong. Gotcha.

    Seems like you didn't understand anything at all, actually, if that's what you got out of that. Lol.

    That's not true though, the show has clearly shown that society is built on our regular modern society simply by the fact that a lot of what we'd expect from a modern society exists. While we haven't seen how society differs from what we expect from a modern society that doesn't mean Mfaulis points are moot, though I still disagree with some of his points.

    Anyway on to how I interpret his point, hopefully we all agree that we don't expect there to be things that we(I) expect in a modern society like insurance regardless if they show/talk about it or not in a show like Attack on Titan, Naruto or One Piece. I do expect it to exists in shows like Jujutsu Kaisen, Bleach, FSN because the base world is obviously a modern world Japan. This usually doesn't matter but in this case the main protagonists whole background basically hinges on the fact that there's either no records in any governmental institute of him or they didn't care about him. I would again like to point out this isn't an issue for me but I can see that Mfauli has a point in this regard at least, though I probably added to his argument.
    You are here alone again
    In your sweet insanity
    All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
    Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
    When all the world turns away to leave you lonely
