Red Man only became a Counter Guardian because he was trying to stop a nuclear reactor from melting down or something like that, right?
So, how the fuck is Shirou supposed to actually avoid this fate, unless he suddenly decides to run the other way as fast as possible, which he obviously won't?
By not being an autist obsessed with becoming a superhero.

By not being in the military?
Wasn't he in uniform in that scene?

it was my understanding that instead of a reactor, it was some magic mumbojumbo shit, and he wasn't a military but part of some anti-voodoo guerrilla shenanigas.
The Nuclear reactor was an Extra thing right?
Isn't Mumei's thing supposed to be different from Redman's thing?
>>161035717
isn't the whole point of his character arc that he cannot avoid that fate? And yet he still chooses to do what he does.

After UBW he's too busy making baby rhinos to get involved with shit like that

Strangely enough this is the truth. In UBW and HF he will never reach that point because he has someone he loves to share his life with, also in HF he threw away his ideals.
In Fate route (without the alternate RN end) Shirou is left with his ideals in tact and without someone at his side. That ends in becoming the red man.

Why would they include scenes from Mumei's backstory in the UBW anime then?

The author said that none of the Shirou's we play as are the ones that turn into the red man, but Fate's is the closest we get. So the timeline he becomes red man is probably really close to Fate so in that sense you're right.

Fate/unlimited code's Shirou arcade is red man
