    I swear anime never used to be this bad, like, there was pedo shit but it wasn't every single damn anime doing it.

    Now it's everywhere and has even taken over franchises that never used to be creepy pedo bait.

    Dudes are always complaining that it's the woke mob and feminists ruining pop culture but honestly, I think it's horny dudes that have ruined Japanese anime and video games by being okay with the creepy pedo shit.

    What used to be a niche part of Japanese media has become all of Japanese media.

      RIP inuyasha, the new series made sesshomaru a pedo

        Fun fact: new stuff doesn't count if you don't like it. Don't whine about it not being cannon or anything, but only look at the part and characterizations you like.

          True, it just sucks when a fanbase you interacted with goes haaard pedo. My dumb little safe space :(

      Honestly this can be observed in the post 1980s market crash in which financialization of every aspect of a product became especially essential in a crashing market with lower and lower returns; and so sexless creepy pedos are more and more wiling to buy legal CP and adjacent items and such to build literal fucking shrines of (again look at how much plastic anime crap is oriented around owning your own small legal little waifu or some shit).
