    I would push back, and say you’re wrong, on most anime sexualizes children. Again, if you think that’s true it says more about what you personally watch than anything else.

      But you're the one who said that. You said it was "mainstream shonen trash" which sexualizes children. The fact that mainstream anime has this problem is in fact bad.

        Might I suggest that the two of you are having a disconnect on what counts as "Sexualization of minors" and what doesnt? Because I find that these discussions can get poisoned by that.

          It may be that they don't recognize sexualization of high school aged children as sexualization of minors, yes, I considered that. They would be wrong, though.

            After trying to explain it a few times, Ive decided that I dont really want to get into it, sorry. It gets into stuff about perception of characters ages that gets some people really fucking upset (understandably, but still) and I dont want to make things worse.
