Go on youtube, and all you can see is thousands upon thousands of videos with plenty of likes and support, decrying anime as misogynistic and sexist and whatnot. There is a lot of breadtube videos sharing their communist and feminist perspective on eastern media. An example is that mha video I posted before with 1.1 million views and 68k likes now. This is why anime should've never became popular in the west. Feminists genuinely need to fuck off. And there is also the popular sentiment feminists use when you bring up that anime made for women exists is that "female gaze" media doesnt objectify men and respects them as people and is about emotion and being well written, while "male gaze" media objectifies women (via camera angles or outifts), and is thus inherently misogynistic and toxic. Basically, male gaze = always bad and female gaze = inherently good and non objectifying. I saw a video where a feminist literally fucking said the anime free! (which features shot of boys abs constantly and is blatantly pandering to women) is just "using the male gaze on other men". Basically saying that sexualized camera angles and outfits on male character dont appeal to women, and overall camera angles and sexualized outfits on the other gender only appeals to men, but emotions and good writing is what the "female gaze" is (because I guess men are just sexist pigs and women are these enlightened beings, right?). Lmao at people saying that "japan is the most backwards and sexist nation", when americas top music videos and social media platforms have probably even more female sexualization, and also when africa and the fucking middle east exist lol.

And these people arent a small minority these videos and social media posts get a loy of likes and shares with shit tons of comments of people whining about muh soggy knees, this is what happens when anime becomes popular in the west.
