seriously my friends tell me to watch a bunch of shows and so fuckin many of them are obnoxiously pervy right out the gate :stalin-stressed:
It is hard to avoid even if you don’t watch mainstream shonen trash. No need to get so weirdly hostile in defense of your treats. Separate your media interests from your sense of identity. A criticism of media you like is not an attack on you.
Idk what you’re on about tbh. It’s genuinely been a decade at least since I’ve seen a show with loli shit. I’m not being hostile, you are just projecting your own poor taste into everyone who watches anime. It says a lot about you that you think loli shit is common.
Even if you were right (you’re not) the fact that practically all mainstream anime sexualizes children is still a problem worth talking about
And the problem is that most sexualization of minors in anime these days isn’t even considered “loli shit.” Most of these shows are about high schoolers which are broadly sexualized in all media, not just anime.
I would push back, and say you’re wrong, on most anime sexualizes children. Again, if you think that’s true it says more about what you personally watch than anything else.

This comment is the embodiment of their OP. Nothing else needs to be said.
Someone else posted a parody here which sounds appropriate “sexualization is when there are high school characters and the more high school characters there are the more sexualized it is”.
Also its even funnier considering the meme at the top. You can name 20-30-40 anime over the past decade and someone will still come and post “practicaly all anime” as if its even remotely true based on numbers alone.
I think you could listen more to other people’s perspectives and judging from anime toplists it is a serious problem.
That you found anime you don’t find anything (serious) wrong with is good for you, but in the thread LotGH was recommended and that has a number of serious problems as well.
If it is so easy I would like to give you the burden of proof though and give us up to a dozen of anime in which what you write is rare doesn’t happen. If you can try to keep them somewhat popular.
