FFS Japan can you make one anime where you don’t sexualise underage people.
They exist, the problem is nobody seems to care about positive reinforcement but rather focus on negative reinforcement to justify their bias.
I mean if you ask this question literaly then there are dozens of good anime in the past 5 years, but its some edgy bad shit that represents the industry.
i think it can start to get into racism when people act like those things are exclusive to anime or somehow much worse in anime than in anglo/american media too. like anglo kids media has plenty of fucked up and objectionable aspects too in the same vein. Japanese culture is far from uniquely fucked in this way. also people ignore that japans culture was essentially westernized by the US when they complain about this stuff and how that’s a not trivial factor in the prevalence of these attitudes and tropes in media.
