The borderline pedophilia in so much anime is what turns me off. So many popular series are lolicon degeneracy but heavens forbid you try to call it out, or the anime fans come out in droves to tell you that you’re an unappreciative normie who just doesn’t get the themes and how profound they are.
I still watch some series, but I simply cannot engage with an anime community ever again.
All the over sexualized characters, regardless of age, makes it damn near impossible to recommended much to any one. Even the “clean” shows suffer due to the bad rep.
I get Japan is more open about it (ironic considering the censor laws), but some shows definitely cross the wrong side of the “adult” line and need to be publicly rediculed for it.
Its also good to remember pretty much every western TV show has borderline porn scenes now too. Ever since they moved away from cable regulations, they’ve been getting bolder.
If we’re gonna normalize one (too late, both are), I’ll take the animated one that doesn’t involve real people (well the voices actors have to act that shit out, but at least their whole body isn’t on full display, ever watch GoT?).

The casual pedophilia is fucked, but I never saw it much unless I was exposed by sheer damn chance from new titles
I am very critical according to the average weeb, and far too lenient if we go by the standards of average folk
