Let's talk about Naofumi's harem

It's no secret that Naofumi's party is comprised only of girls (and they don't have very diverse personalities). They're basically all glorified sycophants who simp for Naofumi and try (and fail) to make him a little kinder. Most of them are slaves and couldn't leave him even if they wanted to - Raphtalia stops being a slave when she becomes the Katana Hero, but she doesn't grow to become more independant, she's still a slave to Naofumi mentally speaking.

Motoyasu is criticized by the story for having a party only comprised of women who acts as his cheerleaders and have no real use. The thing is, this is exactly the same as Naofumi's situation, except Motoyasu's companions can (and do) leave if they want to !

To me this one of the most flagrant examples of double standards within the story.

Plus, it's a bit strange that aside Naofumi and Fuohl, everyone in the party are girls (Fuohl basically came in with his sister like a supplementary gift for the slave owner that is Naofumi, so he barely counts) - I understand that no one wanted to help Naofumi when he was framed, but after he cleared his name, why wouldn't Naofumi want to recruit some strong warriors or thiefs or mages instead of young girls ? His obsession with having only vulnerable kids he can control and groom in his party actually makes him more vulnerable than he could be.
