Just look at animemes banning the use of tr*p. Of course not every anime is misogynist but... there’s kinda a lot. And I think there’s a lot of blatant misogyny that is definitely noticed, and people who watch those scenes know it’s bad, but if you keep watching that shit over and over, even if you know it’s bad, it just get burned into your brain. But more importantly, a lot of anime just treats women as a whole differently than the male characters. Their drawn slightly differently, they act slightly differently, and they continue to be treated as objects, albeit in more subtle ways. On their own or in a bubble these grievances wouldn’t be a big deal, but it does add up. Idk, shit just sucks and it makes it hard to get into shows I would really like otherwise...
That's interesting. I had a friend who watched KLK and she said that she had to stop because the women (and teens I guess?) were super over sexualized in a way that made her uncomfortable.
KLK is a big parody of a lot of anime. On an initial watch the fan service is so much its uncomfortable, but the overall story is one of abuse and abandonment.
I remember the first time I watched I was like "this is just too damn horny" and its hard to draw the line between making fun of the horniness and playing into the fan service.
