Most of your examples are Japanese people, which I presume occurred in Japan. Yes its a different culture, but so is the Middle East: a place that sells its daughters before they even undergo their first period. Are we going to invade every culture that we find sickening, despite them not posing a threat to us personally? The West has already had its ass handed to it by the Taliban. The US is stupid, but not stupid enough to attack a country that is not permitted to use its military outside of self-defense, and has provided the world with some of the most advanced technology of its time, just because they offend their sensibilities.
Woah now, let's back up a bit. I'm not suggesting that the US should go on some crusader war against Japan for anime, that would be retarded overkill. I do think that the Japanese are FAR too lenient on the subject of rape and child exploitation (and they should be called out for it), but if all of the sexual content was kept out of anime that children should otherwise be able to watch, then this would be a whole different scenario. I've seen some shows before and there were some that have none of that in there, but they tend to be the ones made at least 20 years ago.
I tried to find out why this is being mass produced, and I found this Dateline special from 13 years ago where they talked about anime trending in this direction. It's an interesting watch
(TLDW is that anime is getting more degenerate every year because in order for studios to make money, they have to cater to the obsessive fan audience. Additionally, the only artists they can hire that will work for shit pay are also weirdos that crank it to anime girls. Essentially, weebs and lolis took over because they're buying most of the merch).
I don't trust any government to make a law regarding it that can't be used to attack law abiding people later on down the line
Yeeeeaaaahhhh, to tell the truth, the only reason why I'm not exactly for loli shit being illegal is because I have zero trust that the government will use the power of approving which art is acceptable in good faith.
What's odd to me is the people online quick to point out cartoon media from countries outside the US for being the source of degeneracy. But the stuff coming from the West, appears to be largely ignored by them
First of all, you can hate both. Second, I'm not sure how you can say that's being ignored. Most people are disgusted by that, especially the ones that point out how anime has the same problem. When someone is in support of the examples you provided, everyone else rightfully suspects them of being up to no good. With lolis, it's fine because it's not real? I don't buy it.
