For once, Western anime fans have a spine and don't jump to cancel right away. (web.archive.org)

So basically this new (so far 1 episode) anime is accused of pedophilia by some TikTokTard, either for real or as a troll job, because we can't have nice things, ever.

And surprisingly, the anime fans are not SJW pussy bitches right away for once. Even though the guy who wrote the article claims all rational anime fans know there is a huuuuuuge problem with sexualization in anime.

I'm a fan of this manga, so of course I'm going to watch the anime. Prime heartwarming, retarded humour, cute family stuff, if you like that.
But I also absolutely hate that we have to have scandals about everything, either for real or because someone is being a useless dumb troll. In a way, I think both sides are equally retarded when they just HAVE TO ruin fun for the lulz of it.
Don't get me wrong, some genuinely funny trolling is great, but this is just stomping on someone else's sand castle out of being a cunt.

And again, even if it's trolling. Why? This piece of media does absolutely nothing wrong, it's inoffensive, it's cute. Just leave it the fuck alone.

I hate this culture where you are not allowed to have a chill, fun time. Either you have to be political or LOL so edgy.

Here I am, super happy about Anya's little stuffed toy having better reference material in the show, so I can make a crochet toy version, hopefully.

They see pedophilia because they are pedophiles themselves.

"As the majority of rational fans will understand, there has been an issue about the over-sexualisation of characters in the anime community for the better part of a decade."

I'm afraid I'm going to have to deduct half a spine for that. But that's still better than completely spineless, good job weebs.

If you see a young girl being cute as sexualized, you're the one doing the sexualizing

That's different, you know. It HELPS kids to make them understand they actually deep down love being fucked in the ass. Coincidentally by adults too.

the TikTok user […] that ‘blushing’ was the obvious sign of this

This makes me think this person might genuinely believe the shit they’re peddling.

I’ve noticed this phenomenon among some anime fans (particularly fujoshi aka yaoi fans) who see a character blushing as inherently indicating attraction, when it could just as easily mean embarrassment or happiness. Especially given how animation tends to exaggerate certain features to indicate emotions.

They did this shit with The Legend of Korra. When the surprise lesbians ending dropped, the cows pointed to one scene where Korra blushes at a compliment as proof of long-running sexual tension between the characters. These people are coomers to the core.

Well, that's different in the sense that HomoFetish shit always sees attraction in everything. They get on? GAY. They hate each other? GAY. They have never even met? GAY.

I don't know the actual term but it's a fetishistic response from watching too much hentai. This happens with real porn but more with cartoon sex because the visuals are less detailed and more figurative. As you said "animation tends to exaggerate certain features to indicate emotions". Over time the viewer's brain learns to associate pleasure with specific drawing styles or visual tropes. (btw same problem with furries, who spent their formative years looking at cartoon animals with giant throbbing penises)

So when this pervert sees anime that invokes those same cues (blushing) they get turned on, then get angry at themselves, and project that angry perversion onto other viewers and the creators who had no such intention.

Anime: has a cute little girl as a main character

Western Baizuo: THERE'S TOO MUCH SEXUALIZATION IN THIS ANIME

Friendship is fucking to these people. Love is fucking too. They have no concept of actual friendship or love, which is why they will insist Frodo and Sam are gay for eachother and other nonsensical horseshit.

But also because they hate men, they hate male platonic friendships, they hate White people having folklore, and above all else they hate the Christian overtones of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.

Spy x Family is the most wholesome show I've seen in a while.

These people are evil and will descend upon anything that is righteous and good.

Skeleton Knight, another anime this season, opens up with two young women being stripped and sexually assaulted center-screen in full view.

You'd think that would get more attention than this stupid shit. But thanks to Redo Of Healer, the Overton Window of anime sexual assault has moved. No one cares, as is proper. You want to watch, you watch. You don't want to watch, you don't.

We need something of similar shock level. Just to get these miscreants offline. Give them something to actually rage about, then all the normal and plain things will be normal and plain.

...Not that the scene in question is in any way objectionable. It's just some kid smiling with a blush, as many do. If a person is seeing something sexual there, check their computer. But the point stands, we need to shift the anime Overton window, and hopefully scare some baizuo normies away. Anime was better before the west's opinion got involved.

Got a 3 day Reddit ban for arguing against people supporting the idea of that show being about sex with children. :o Oh well.

You too? In my case it was about explaining why the government would want troons to exist and how they profit from them.

I guess I'll have to check it out now. I was only mildly interested, but I find my tastes with respect to anime to be totally different than any other. I almost prefer the fun stupid stuff there. I guess because everything else that's left has to be so damn serious all the time if it's even any good at all.

If I had to venture a guess having not seen this, these people read way too much into it because their life revolves around sexualizing everything and western media does sexualize everything now. That's one of the reasons I think I came to enjoy anime, is that the extent of the sex content is like women trying to look feminine and guys gawking over it a bit. Yeah, I know there's hentai or whatever, but I'm talking about mainstream shonen/seinen stuff not digging the depths of the internet for porn art.

It's really fun. A lot of the conflict revolves around the fact that the child is a mind reader. All of the people around her have secret identities ("dad" is a spy, "mom" is an assassin, "uncle" is secret police, etc., even their dog is an escaped lab experiment) and she is the only one who knows about everyone, but she has the mental capacity of a small child. She wants to be helpful, but it's usually unsuccessful.
