Go to myanimelist and look at the genres like slice of life, gourmet or horror. Sure, slice of life has stuff like Kobayashi maid dragon which is kinda weird with the three children. But around it are all, to my knowledge, "normal" anime's.
I dont watch anime but doesnt the majority of anime have at least one sexualised child in it?
i don't watch tv so i assume the same is true there.
As a TV watcher its not. There a very very few children being sexualized.
cool, then we agree.
I don't understand what your previous comment intention was.
that assumptions don't hold up to scrutiny. imagine if all you knew of tv was toddlers in tiaras, pop idol, and here comes honey boo boo.
I havent seen those shows but they are extremely controversial for this exact reason arent they? I dont think anyone even those who have never watched a tv show could say that was common.
While looking for some industry stats about anime to see if there was anything on this specifically. Given that majority of anime takes place in a setting where the characters are underaged and majority of the anime consumers are adult men and from what I hear fan service tropes are extremely common. So I guess it just comes down to how common that fan service actually is and which characters receive the fan service. Because I really have no idea how common fanservice is and just have to go off what people say.
If you are an anime watcher do you think fan service is common? I asked my weeb friend and they said not as much these days as it used to be but still common. But they're also a degen so maybe there is bias.
but you see how the exact same thing could be reversed right? i could pull the exact same unfounded "i don't think" and "given that x" and "from what i hear" and the back-and-forth would continue.
do i think fanservice in anime is common? no. i've basically never seen it.
there, i've now given as much justification as you did.
Satisfied?

Buddy, you’re gonna have to type a little louder. I can barely make out what you’re saying through the ejaculate obstructing my screen, glasses, and silver betta fish. Princess ruto says hi, by the way.
I am still curious why you censored the word "pedophile."
I get the impression most people here haven’t actually been to 4chan at any point during their lifetime. This is, on 4chan, standard, ambient trolling that most wouldn’t even glance at twice. Here, the compounding confusion at a statement that isn’t wholly honest drew like 50 people to arms and maybe a quarter of them recognized the situation for what it is. Someone goofin’
Proceeds to overgeneralise an entire media.
does snorkmaiden from the 90s anime count?
that wasn't part of your question. have you now changed it to "show me an animu you jork it to that doesn't look like a kid"? because that's pretty damn close to accusing every respondent of being a paedo.
you seem fun.
