@cedgehog: Whenever I criticize the hypersexualization of women in anime, I get called a tourist that doesn’t understand Japanese culture. But do you consider the political push and pulls that have occurred in the manga industry? #anime #manga
I hate when anime "fans" conveniently ignore that there is feminism in Japan. One of the most popular feminist movements in Japan was even referenced heavily in Beastars

The "tourists" are the ones who believe NO ONE in Japan had a problem with it

That sexual fan service is so omnipresent that it's considered normal and attempts to remove it receive such strong backlash shows how bad things are. ESPECIALLY because so much of that sexual fan service is of literal children or people with child-like proportions. If your anime is about teens or targeted at teens, there should be zero sexual fan service.

honestly the amount of sexualized women and children is what makes finding a good anime difficult

Using "tourist" unironically about a hobby should be a capital offense.

Honestly, this is the reason I stopped watching anime. I get taken out of the story sooo fast with the constant “fan service”

This is the weeb equivalent, of calling out people for fetishizing goth girls, only to get called a poser

on all sides, I feel like everyone forgets that you can like something and also acknowledge it has flaws. Id be more than willing to yap abt the issues in my current interests if asked, but Im also not ready to just disavow any media thats not perfect.

People tried to use the culture defense for the worst addition to Transformers, Kiss Players part 1, but they ignore that a lot of Japanese fans didn't like it and thought it reflected poorly.

Ive been saying this for a while now, but anime is one of the most misogynistic forms of media. It’s so rare to find one that treats its female characters as more than just a device for fan service.
