Which ones do?
I mean a lot of it does, there's a reason it's part of the stigma against anime
Even some shows that I otherwise really like have an uncomfortable amount of sexualization of minors. A Certain Scientific Railgun, Steins;Gate, Gate, Gurren Lagann, to name a few
Well I know about Japanese culture with the "perverted wind" blowing up skirts, people peeking under skirts and the crotch shots when kicking someone in the face and getting a bloody nose and stuff. I know about that kind of pervertedness but that seems fairly harmless to me. I've seen some Pokémon episodes mentioned which weren't released in the west, and even then I wouldn't deem it as problematic. So I am thinking either I'm really naive, which I will say I certainly am, or I am missing some things. Most people I know don't even know what anime is, and if they do, they think of Pokémon and Sailor Moon. But not much else. So I guess most of this news has passed me by.
[edit] Oh and I've seen none of the anime you mentioned so maybe that is the issue. I'm mainly focussed on older anime. But I have just now watched that scene from Steins;Gate and I totally get what you mean if you are talking about that. That is so incredibly uncomfortable and unnecessary to be in there. Graphically I think the show looks nice and I feel like I want to watch this some more if I could have not seen this scene.
While most anime doesn't sexualize minors, a lot of it does, and unfortunately what comes to a lot of people's minds when we talk about anime is either stuff like Naruto and DBZ where two guys shout at each other until someone wins, or stuff like Kill La Kill where a female character's power level is seemingly determined by how small their clothes are. Anime would have a much better reputation if shows like ACCA and Mushishi were the ones everyone knew about.
To be fair, that is the only questionable scene in the show. I highly recommend watching it, I'd hate for your only experience of Steins;Gate being the worst scene in it
I can get that, yes. I've seen people judge anime by just having seen DBZ and not much else.
And I'll give Steins;Gate a try then, thanks.
Steins;Gate? There’s, what, 1 second of a naked 16-year old in the whole series?
I'm talking specifically about the scene where Okarin grope Luka. It's one scene, he's rightfully called out for being a dickhead by everyone, but it's still uncomfortable to watch
I mean, I wouldn’t call that sexualization, it’s intentionally framed to make you uncomfortable (you’re playing as Okabe in the VN after all).
And still, it’s two scenes with 16-year olds, pretty sure most western teen dramas do far worse. The stigma is because of stuff like SAO or Code Geass where they literally can’t let two episodes pass without a butt in your face.
Well in Pokémon a character asks to suck Misty’s tits, it’s an anime trope for old people to be pervs and you come across a few in the series. There’s the beach episode and you get a lot of shots that pan from her ass
In Yu-gi-oh you get the “love slave” comment…along with yugi’s grandfather being a perv. Mai also hits on yugi a ton which either she’s a kid who they draw with huge tits and a really short skirt or she’s an adult trying to hit on a 14 year old
Inuyasha has Kagome bathing naked a few times
No Game No Life has not just loli but hinting at incest a bunch. But the main character (kid) is obsessed with trying to spy on the girls while they bathe. If you get the light novel then the opening pages are straight up loli hentai
Thanks. That sounds terrible though.
Weirdly enough, I just learned in my Developmental Psychology class recently that there's a very surprising amount of sex between old people going on in nursing homes. Some of the students who'd actually worked in nursing homes before even confirmed it. So the trope may not be as unfounded as we might think.
Not saying old people hitting on kids is okay. It's freaking weird and gross. Just stating an interesting fact.
Having sex makes you a perv?
No, I moreso meant that older people having sexual desires is surprisingly common.
