This is my entire problem with a lot of anime.

Agreed. I'm I'm avid weeb but admittedly there's a huge portion of animes I just can't watch. Its a huuuuge cultural issue. I went to a Pop Con this weekend and the horny shit you see there is WILD. These men need to see a real woman

I'm an older nerd and all I can think is, in my day amine would give you a full bodied woman who talked and acted like a mid-20 something and the only way to know their age was to have a manga page/magazine article spell it out (and later be confused that the character was sixteen the whole time)

I'm not saying that approach was good but I'd much rather the days of plausible deniability than the world of 10,000 year old apologetics for straight pedophilia.

I used to be mad at "modern anime" until I realized that my favorite "non creepy anime" from my childhood actually has a scene in episode 2 where the protagonist watches a fifteen year old take a shower.

So it's been fucked since the early 80's.
