Yeah, I do see that from time to time and it is gross but I also generally avoid fan service anime entirely, so if there’s more of that going around I’m probably missing it.
Japan’s age of consent is 13 and 15/16 is generally considered “adulthood” and an acceptable marrying age. In China the age of consent is 14 and in Korea they just recently raised it from 13 to 16 so culturally Asia has very different standards when it comes to this sort of thing. I still think it’s super-gross but it’s clearly the result of Asian cultural differences not woke pedophiles trying to infiltrate their culture.
Keep in mind Asian cultures also treat their children much more maturely, giving them a lot of responsibility even at a young age. It’s not uncommon for Japanese 5-6 year olds to run errands, go play with their friends or even use mass transit without adult supervision. Their entire perspective of childhood and adulthood is ~5 years more “advanced” than western countries who generally try to let their children be children as long as possible.
I find this topic fascinating because I’ve long felt that western societies coddle their children way too much, leading to some people never properly maturing into adulthood. Our culture glorifies infantile and selfish behavior of people well into our 30’s and beyond, which has contributed greatly to our cultural collapse I believe.
