Japan is a country in the world with people living in it. Manga and anime are considered niche media there much like comics and cartoons are in the states. Not all, actually not even most Japanese media is Pervy anime, they make plenty of normal boring ass movies and TV shows and book, and anime about boring ass shit. A lot of the really weird and gross stuff you see put out is made with western audiences in mind. Many of the most popular mangas/animes in Japan are slice of life shit that would probably bore the piss out of most weebs.
I think a lot westerns like to scapegoat Japanese media simply because it’s more openly horny than western media, but really most of the fucked up shit you can find in anime is present in western media, just pruded up a bit.
I mean based on what the post is about I figured we were talking about Japanese media specifically. Japan is also a country with a history of nationalistic imperialist that’s done awful things, but I think it’s dumb to use that as a spring board to be grossed out by their weird cartoons.
Manga just means “comic” in Japanese and there are indeed very popular ones that even like normal middle aged Japanese people read. There’s some really popular one that’s basically just Japanese The Simpsons. The fucking weird shit is mostly produced for a specific demographic that even a lot of Japanese people view as kinda odd, the same way we view “nerds” over here. But much like over here being a “nerd” isn’t really all that derogatory anymore and most normal people enjoy some “nerdy” shit, same with Marvel movies getting popular.

Japan and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. No axis country should ever have been exempted from proper judgment.

Evangelion Rebuild in Japanese theaters, superhero shit in American theaters
We're going down a bad path
Maybe “niche” isn’t the right word.
