Yeah, a huge amount of anime has cringe loli moments, it’s insane. I actually think that most anime fans develop a kind of “loli blindness”, where their brains dissociate and they are able to fully ignore it, like how you get used to bad smells.
90% of anime will never be a “living room TV” activity due to this. Of course there’s exceptions, but people below are pretending like it’s not the norm.
I can guarantee if you showed your mum all your top ten favourite animes, they would be concerned or horrified. Not “top ten but except these ones because they’re inappropriate.” No cheating. Actually review your top ten anime, and imagine someone else watching it with you, without fast forwarding the scenes where children are sexualised for an uncomfortably long duration as a half-joke.
As a reminder, the age of consent in Japan was only 13, and they had problematic sexual assault laws, until recently (2023).
