Get rid of all the loli stuff and the community around anime would be way more tolerable. It’s everywhere and it’s extremely sus. Almost everytime I take suggestions on shows from reddit or someone online, there’s loli in it and a bunch of nerds just fuckin drooling over it.

It's everywhere in Western Anime communities. Look at the highest grossing anime films in Japan: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_anime_films

Most of it is either legitimately good works of art (Miyazaki and such) or just harmless family films (Conan, Doraemon, Pokemon).

Unless you speak Japanese and engage with Japanese anime communities directly, your view of what the medium is is colored by what Western audiences find appealing.

Not to say that gross pedo Otaku aren't a thing in Japan, but they're also incredibly shunned over there too.
