Any weeb trying to deny the copious amounts of sexualization of children, especially prepubescent girls in school uniforms and their underpants in anime is simply arguing in bad faith. You can't be an anime fan and deny that this is a very much reoccurring theme. Many of the men who make anime are also open lolicons. The issue with weebs is that they see this shit so often and also watch so much truly deranged hentai that they don't even notice it anymore. Your brain is actually permanently damaged and full of holes from consuming this utter garbage.
If someone tells you that they don't enjoy anime because they don't want to be exposed to that kind of shit then maybe you should just accept it and move on instead of trying to convert unwilling people to your cult. The main reason everyone hates weebs is they are more aggressive about this shit than Jehovas witnesses. No doubt if you could you would be knocking Null's door down screeching "BUT HAVE YOU SEEN LAIN YET?!?!?!"
Completely agree here, as someone who indulges in the medium of animation as a whole (regardless of region) its astonishing how much pedo bait these studios get away with, and it's gotten far worse over the years.
The problem however is that the pervy degenerate otaku culture is so intertwined with the artistic aspects of Japanese animation its hard to find one that's exclusive to one side with of course some very notable exceptions. DAICON IV which democratized animation in Japan was made by otaku, and they were just as pervy as the degenerates we seen today. The basis of the proliferation of anime and why it survived was because fans were willing to work to death and starve from the 70s - late 90s to create many of the productions that ended up sprouting many of the different studios we know of today so of course the motif of anime today is constantly going to be about panty shots and high school girls. For example ANNO who made Evangelion and Daicon IV and worked on Nausicaa, was an OTAKU but he was also a traditional artist and a uni of tokyo graduate, he partakes in the pervy otaku crap while simultaneously critiquing it staunchly in both his content and his interviews. The reality is that it's very difficult to separate the unique brand of art that Japanese Animation can produce and the gestalt of degeneracy that it created.
It's a duality I sincerely hate because on one hand, as it stands in the present. (technically) Japan followed by China and even Korea are making some of the best hand drawn animation today but a lot of the actual content is fucking garbage and it becomes harder and hard to appreciate something newer when I am aware the director is trying to shove someones ass in my face because they know that non lifting socially deranged spergs are going to buy the figurines. There was a time pre 2000s where many directors saw Japanese animation as an art and there were a lot of very proactive works that came out, but that era is long dead and it's sad.
if I had to indulge doe from my hazy memory decent shows with good animation that arent perverted or contain art with adult looking characters and arent made by gross wierdos
Beck Mongolian Chop Squad
Hokuto No Ken because is based
Venus Senki because it makes fun of gay ppl
You're Under Arrest (only the ova and the cel animated Movie) please don't watch the rest.
Most Older gundam series are pretty safe especially UC
Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Golden Boy
Ninja Scroll
Armored Trooper Votoms
Macross Plus
Millennium Actress
The Night Is short, Walk on girl
Some directors such as Watanabe, Oshii, Masaaki Yuasa are generally safe in my book. I should add that I only seek shows for astonishing animation, Content itself matters little to me because I want to make a career in traditional animation not in film so....
