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...

    I think Erased was also okay about this. It was a male-centered story but there were significant female characters and I don’t remember any of them being sexualized.

    Eh his teenager coworkers boobs are sometimes a bit... center of frame

    Not sure if it passes the Bechedel test though.

    Pretty sure his mom has convos with other women about shit unrelated to any males in the plot, least not directly. Granted their all short.
