I only watch popular anime, so I haven't noticed this. As far as popular shows go, anime is in somewhat of a new Pax Romana right now. Dan Da Dan, Chainsaw Man, and Frieren are all really good, and I would argue CSM will be an all-time great. JJK is an amateurish story but has top tier animation.
If globohomo is hitting anime bad right now, this is where Trump being in office may be a good thing. We are still seeing lagging indicators of Biden's tranny paradise presidency, but the funding for that is likely curtailed.
Also, the American public's purported appetite - which is the main motivator for any changes - has massively turned against gayness. Millions of people are crapping on the Stranger Things finale specifically for the gay coming out scene.
I tried watching the first few episodes of Frieren and Chainsaw Man years back and I couldn't understand what the hype was. Frieren was just overly sentimental girls crying about not knowing what their friend's favorite dessert was, and chainsaw man, from what I vaguely remember, had a depressing MC become a submissive dog for some bossy female. Do those shows go through some radical change later on that I missed?
Frieren starts slow, but in my opinion does live up to the hype. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I personally think it's great...but I can see why the first few episodes might drive some people away. It definitely picks up as it goes. Frieren is peak.
As to Chainsaw Man, I haven't read the manga or anything, but I know some of what's coming just from happening upon chatter online. Part of the whole point is that the MC is being abused; it doesn't seem glorified, he's just constantly beaten down and taken advantage of. And, as the other response said, a big part of the hype is the action/animation.
If you get filtered by the first four episodes of Frieren, you don't deserve the segment where Frieren explains how demons use human language purely as a weapon. It's just that simple.
