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:
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.

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 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.

But you’re the one who said that. You said it was “mainstream shonen trash” which sexualizes children. The fact that mainstream anime has this problem is in fact bad.
Might I suggest that the two of you are having a disconnect on what counts as “Sexualization of minors” and what doesnt? Because I find that these discussions can get poisoned by that.
