Dont even have to watch these videos, just look at the comments on them ( I recommend using ad block to not give these people any ad revenue profits, even if its a few cents): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlwnlb72rLo

And the thing that pisses me off is that anime is actually such a diverse medium, that there are literally mountainloads of anime that dont sexualize women. There is literally genres like shoujo and manhwa geared towards female audiences, and yet these people go into shounen (a genre meant for teenage boys), and the complain that the women are sexualized.

And when you point out that there are genres that gear towards women as well, its still not enough for them.

If we're talking about the actual Anime itself, it's gatekept fairly well thanks to language barrier, that it relies on manga and light novels that they themselves go for niche audiences than the grey general audience the Western media tries to appeal to. To better protect it you need to look at the money itself, if the studios can get a steady income just from their fans, they'll stay loyal most of the time as Japanese businesses prefer repeat consistent income over the 'imaginary' audience the West chases.
The real threat is from what I term "the satellite crowd". Not directly involved in the making of anime but attach themselves to it, in the good cases it's symbiotic, bad parasites. The cosplay crowd, reviewers both print and few cases on YouTube, streaming services etc, these are HEAVILY invested as they don't have the same barriers as Anime production. Through these they try to use their slight connection to imply they speak for a greater audience so it's the task of fans to show they don't to stop any chance at a foothold.
The problem is there is a creeping tendril from the west in the form of localizers who are both trying to push woke shit in the officially licensed versions of anime (the dragon maid dub comes to mind) and are also trying to push their way into the Japanese market itself by funding anime with western money such as from netflix.
I'd include the localisers in the satellite fraction I talked about as the majority of Anime watchers are fine with subs and most cases prefer it as Japanese voice artists usually nail the characters better
But as I said they are trying to seep into the industry through these means, the only thing stopping them is their own incompetence as Netflix can't release an Anime right to save their lives!
You probably know, but the subs are heavily localized too. Much of it makes sense, some of it unnecessary, and then there is the malicious changes of the localizer coloring it in with their world view instead of the creator's intention.
