I sometimes wonder why this is the case. Aversion to beauty? Who knows. Anime has it's issues but it's great compared to the other crap we see in media.

He's the local USAID employee that crashes out often. Don't read too much into it.

So the thread title was clickbait. You got me, you sonuvabitch.

I don't think even USAID would want anything to do with LifeAlert, considering he is cognitively incapable of constructing a single post without talking about orifices or frankensteining-up edgy 4chan school shooter words like it's 2009.

And there it is. Exposition, by far, is the #1 killer of any interest I might have in animanga. They don't ever shut up, even when they're in the middle of fighting. It's like this everywhere across every genre. Certain movies, especially modern slop, have an exposition problem too but there are at least other movies spanning decades that abide by the rule of "show, don't tell". The Japanese don't understand that and it's because the primary function of animanga is to get otakufags and consoomer cattle both local and abroad to model their lives after it and shout obnoxious dialogue like retards so the companies' line goes up, not to utilize the medium for art. Also ties back in to how Japan has a serious problem with preserving their old stuff and usually throw them out or leave them to rot (see: Tokyo Lab, Discotek needing to get a laserdisc capture of Project A-ko from a fan so they could release it on blu-ray, and arcades shutting down). They have no concept of longevity or appreciation, they only think about how they can serve themselves now and fuck everything that came before which is also why their copyright laws are unbelievably draconian - they want you to submit to the will of the corporation for the privilege of watching, reading, listening to, or playing anything. And if that means they destroyed all the old shit, then sorry, you don't get to have it. Tough luck. Japanese culture is unbelievably cucked in countless ways. Their copyright law is so draconian that you can't even make cakes featuring copyrighted material or they throw you in prison.
As far as how commercialized animanga is and how everything seems to follow the exact same formulas and cliches and how it's celebrated for doing so, it can be something better than that but they never wanted it to be and they left ones that tried in the dirt. Not just Cowboy Bebop, but others like Trigun or Hellsing which did feature good writing and more mature/thought provoking themes completely bombed there whereas they found success in America. Any "artfulness" anime may have had visual-wise completely died once it went all digital. At least early digital anime still followed cel conventions (compare FMA 2003 to Brotherhood) but ultimately that declined into the 3D CGI AI slopfest with no end in sight that we are seeing now.

Well, the bulk of them were made when the censorship laws were still active, and obviously they'd have been much more scrutinised for a general audience. Erotic anime would have still been indie published at that point.
As for everything else from Japan since:
Well then I guess the creators of My Little Pony always intended that a bunch of overweight dudes in their thirties would want to have sex with cute cartoon horses.
Or it's supply responding to demand. Incest as a porn search has been one of the highest categories ever since Pornhub started doing these surveys, in fact it fell lower on the list in favour of hentai, and orgasm face is already a search category. A lot of these interests would likely be started by OnlyFans people. And if you find the er, presentation of those Japanese porn games interesting enough to buy, then yeah you're going to look them up. I remember that era too, YouTubers would play them off Steam to laugh at, because they're stupid things that only very sad people would buy.
It's a lifestyle now?? What's next, praying the anime away?

I fully expect that pedophiles will be more interested in anime than non-pedophiles on average. Double that for v-tubers.

Anime is not the problem. Japan is the problem. Animation is just a form of media, and media produced by a culture reflects that culture. There are some great anime, but a lot of slop. The reason it is increasingly infecting the west is because western culture is becoming more like Japan: largely godless, without purpose, and perverted. Thus, slop anime appeals to young people brought up in western societies that are also largely godless, without purpose and perverted.

Anime is the Antichrist. When you watch it (other than the couple that I like), you allow Satan into your soul.
Also lucky star is pedoslop (or you could just be a faggot with no life, and lucky star anime serves as the closest you will get to communicating with others) and anyone that likes it should be hanged.

Remember when you see anti-anime activists like this: even Satan quotes scripture for his purpose. I see you, agent of Beelzebub. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires.

Neutral on the anime question (AQ?), Chiikawa is the only good anime anyways.

The Japanese either can't tell stories properly, or their culture is so alien that I can't properly connect to them on any level. So Anime is trash.

People who let themselves enjoy anime with cute moe girls are less likely to troon out than the chuddie incels who keep repressing and projecting their hatred lel. Anime is normal now, don't whine over it.

Most valid anime criticism I've seen tbh.
My threshold for it is also really low, so anime like Naruto gatekept me by doing fucking cutaways between every breath to explain some shit no one cares about. It's like they forget that they're a visual medium with the goal of telling an engaging story, so the lore and world building take precedent over the pacing and narrative flow.

The literal reason is their culture being so alien to most western societies. They like to tell stories about breaking conformity and destroying the status quo (often some form of god) while people in the west, particularly the US, have nonconformity as one of their core values that's celebrated, even, as you're growing up (everywhere but the work force, for the most part).
It's like how a blonde character is considered a delinquent, over there. They're literally made to keep their hair dyed black, through school, and also keep it cut a certain length. Sometimes even styled certain ways (no hair touching your ears as a male, for example). It makes no sense, given how I was raised, but it's absolutely normal, to them. Their stories will reflect this and will often end up feeling the same, after you see a certain amount.
