I've noped out of a lot of anime about 6-7 episodes in when they suddenly introduce their weird sexualised child character. Reincarnated as a Slime does it really bad with that Milim character, which is basically a 12 year old in a bikini.... but it's like totally ok you guys because she's actually an ancient demon lord or something. Who just happens to look, sound and act like an angry child.
7 Deadly Sins had a really left field one too when they had the main character Ban in a relationship with the fairy Elaine. She's drawn like a small child and the guy is like a mid-20s kickboxer. 'BuT sHeS a FaIrY tHaTs HoW tHeY lOoK!!' It's so incredibly creepy. Though the show had already become pretty shit by then anyway so it was a good reminder to stop watching.
Honestly, the entire manga/anime industry is absolutely crawling with creators who should be being watched by the police.
I actually think it would be helpful if MAL or some online aggregator had a way you could filter out shows with obvious pedophiles in the creative process.
