    100% of the fan service containing shows could just be adult cast. I don’t understand why that’s so hard. More adult cast shows in general would be nice. Why’s everyone gotta be a highschooler, man?

      Culturally high school is like this wonderful time of freedom before working age begins.

      A lot of these high school shows were watched by me as a high school kid. And living my shit life, they taught me emotional and social things I wasn’t gonna learn otherwise. And I finished shows back then knowing even at 18 or 19 they would be obsolete and childish in my life. I was wrong, but I did grow out of anime by about age 22.

      But as an adult now? Please make some adult shows. Some of the most intellectually challenging and creative works are centered around 16 year olds. UGH.

    I’m going to get flamed here, but my personal thoughts are that if someone can get their rocks off looking at these cartoons of underage girls and it’s enough to satiate their desire that they don’t do it in real life, then I don’t mind it at all. Heck, I even strongly encourage it.

    It’s a victimless crime. Just let them have it if it doesn’t hurt anyone.

    Edit: VICE did a great video about this. I encourage you guys to check it out. https://youtu.be/Ky3HqvT3M8E?si=RqYHZ5EfSN5M2liw

      But it cultivates the desire rather than addressing it. It’s complicated, but I think the danger from pulling more people in is much greater than the potential benefit of keeping hardened cases out of society.

        You’re arguing that sexual orientation can be trained or influenced by our media, which is the exact argument that the Conservative right has been using to ban books (and everything else). It’s also an argument that has been proven groundless time and time again.
