The sexualization of minors in anime is disturbing. The compliance everyone shows towards it and the excuses made for it are even more disturbing.

Edit: Thank you to those who are on both extremes. Those who gave it awards, and for those who are complaining about this post or sending me messages! FYI I love anime. I do not love sexualization of minors. They are not a package deal. I will try and read and respond to all the comments but this blew up more than was expected!

P.S. no I am not going to take this down for whatever reason. It’s a discussion and if that somehow offends you, I suggest you evaluate why and/or take your comments somewhere else until you are ready to be kind.

My partner put it a great way. “If you would be disturbed by them doing that and treating girls in a live action like that, then it shouldn’t be okay in an anime.”
