My wife watches anime almost literally every day on Crunchyroll and doesn't like a single show that has gross stuff. She just sticks to cute things like Chi (which is, in fact, the cutest thing) or kids' shows like Card Captor.

Wait seriously?! Boatface was my jam. MY JAM! I'm not even kidding. That one I posted was basically a ripoff of "My parents named me Autumn, but now I'm loving awesome" or whatever it was, with the line "cable knit sweater yo, he better be hetero" lol

Yeah I made the comic "Boatface is From The Future". I also had my own webcomic at one time but lol if you think I am gonna post here about it. I am not creative anymore.

Wake up with the Kin-OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?!
wait can we now call out (some) anime for being clearly designed for/by closet pedos in these forums without getting poo poo on by 500 Defenders of Anime?

that's a pretty neat development, cowcaster is on the mark when he says that these forums have attracted people who enjoy media that sexualizes children to an unusual degree in the past, it's hard to tell who is being ironic and who is legitimately into cartoon children, and i've always been surprised/disappointed by the hordes of posters who think they are being "cute" by publicly owning their cartoon fetishes

this doesn't really seem like the best place to harbor that kind of culture, given how many corners of the internet are already dedicated to cartoon fantasies for sadbrains

E: also you might be really bad at context if you don't know what people mean when they say that something is too "anime," don't be a stereotype yo

My hot take is that 2B's outfit is pretty tame all told and treating it as some sort of total dealbreaker that means anyone who plays the game is an anime sex pervert is dumb

Thank you for reading

The sexy battle bot in question looks female, but there are also male-looking sexy battle bots, one of whom shows up totally nude the first time you see him and spends the rest of the game after wearing only tight pants and no shirt

no one has flat out come out to say "I defend the sexualization of children" if that's what you're asking

but posters' tolerance in these forums for pedobait, and in contrast their intolerance to anyone who doesn't "get" anime or their waifu jokes (as well as the great cleansing of the closet pedos that occurred a few years back), is something that I've noticed over the years and is very telling of the kind of culture we've had here for a while

I'm hardly the first person to raise this point, hence the constant "anime sux u creep" "no u sux stupid hillbilly" argument cycle that has been present for 5+ years

I usually get a lot of vitrol for thinking that it is loving creepy for adults to follow anime featuring poo poo like little girls running around in bikinins, so it's nice to hear a few other voices echoing these sentiments

gently caress off with that poo poo to somewhere else

E: I do like anime that is cool and good, I'm just not tone-deaf enough to ignore the god-awful trends aimed at tapping into the sexually frustrated, and the fact that these trends feature characters who look overly young is gross as gently caress

There's a lot of anime that romanticizes high school, which is fine if a bit wistful. There's also a lot of anime that sexualizes high school girls, and that's weird

That's my opinion, and I hope we can continue this discourse in a reasonable tone

I thought my post wasn't too unreasonable in tone, if you see that as a "melt down", you're 100% reinforcing my point you weirdos

It's not that emotionally taxing to write out an opinion on the internet guys, particularly when it involves something as universally disliked as the sexualization of young characters in media

you're the ones that are not normal is what i'm trying to get you to understand

I mean it was pretty strawman filled so it's not hard to see how it could be viewed as a meltdown.

I don't disagree that the sexualization of young girls in anime is messed up. But I don't agree with your assertion that there is some scourge of people on this forum who are into the gross stuff you claim they are.
