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...

    Anime is literally just animation that comes from Japan. And as with animation from the US, Russia, France, China, etc. over 90% of it is going to be crap, but that's also the case for any artistic endeavours be it films, music, literature, painting, theatre, etc. So the only misogyny you will find is the one already imbedded into modern culture in general and the culture of the country of origin in particular. And people who hold backwards views will latch onto anything.
