When talking about western animation: Nuanced serious discussion about how it's deep, beautiful art
Basically any time anime is mentioned: "OMG, ONLY REACTIONARY PEDOPHILES LIKE THAT SHIT LOL."
Feels lowkey kinda racist, ngl.

What does this have to do with anything lol
Crackers shut the fuck up about people and cultures they don't understand challenge.
Berating other cultures because they express sexuality in different ways has been an arrow in the quiver of Western imperialism since the first missionary set foot in Africa.
It's possible to critique pedophilia without tarring an entire art form or culture with the same brush. Choosing not to just reeks to a cynical desire to claim moral superiority without affecting any actual change.
Oh it is?
Yeah you don't have to do that. However you can stop being weird about it and acknowledge that tons of anime is full of weird pedo shit. Also France is a "different culture" too but that doesn't mean they aren't weird about pedo shit. And Japan is not currently or for many years victimised by western imperialism, rather they were and are an imperial power themselves, so calm down.
