Anime sucks

Sexual things in anime offending you. Offending you how? I understand it shouldn't be around kids because they don't need to see that at all. But anime is mainly targeted towards teenagers and adults. Hypthetical point: You are 32, Watching anime by yourself with no children around. Are you still offended by it? I'm thinking 1. You have children and you don't want them being around it. 2. You simply are just against it. Sexual things are in anime, You know why? Because it's for a mature audience. Meaning adults. Ecchi and boobs and all of that is merely eye candy. Everyone (particularly men obviously) likes it. Just like heterosexual men are attracted to a female, Right? Fan service (ecchi) doesn't equate to a perverted freak, It's just all for comedy and jokes at the end of the day. In that case, Are you against porn as well? Like real life porn? Do you think that shouldn't be allowed? Is that offensive to you? Oversexualization is not good I agree, But it is what it is. But human nature is sex. As humans, We are (have) eventually (already) going to experience(d) sex, Well unless you decide not to I guess. Another point, This goes back to the beginning of response -- masturbation. So if you masturbate, Is that bad? Since it's pleasuring yourself. The genitalia is meant for sex. So by your logic, I see that you are against sex in all forms and masturbation. "A 'cartoon' that many kids watch isn't exactly a good thing. " Is this referenced towards anime or cartoons (Teen titans, Billy and Mandy, Powerpuff girls) -- there's a difference. On the cartoon aspect, I can agree that it isn't a good thing because various conspiracy theories have came out regarding hidden sexual messages in certain Disney cartoons, But back then, We were all kids and we didn't know about it nor did we realize it. Nevertheless, It is still a bad thing since it is geared towards children and they are watching it. "Music, Magazines, Ads, Celebrities, Movies, Social media"So, You make the excuse for all of those, Yet say it's bad for anime to be oversexualized? "kids avoid these things"It's hard to avoid though. The kids don't avoid it themselves, They don't know what is, And what isn't. Parents are the ones who make their children avoid it, But at times it can be impossible since it's everywhere, Such as social media. "Anime is normally targeted to kids"No, They are more so targeted towards adults, Like I said before. Yes there are kid type anime (such as Pokemon), But most anime are meant for 18+ with adult content and cuss words in it, They are written for older audience. "I'm honestly a fan of ecchi, What guy isn't? Me"Okay. "The following program contains scenes of violence and sexual assault, And it is intended only for mature audiences. Viewer discretion is advised. "That isn't meant for kids. Note: "intended for mature audiences"There are great art styles though. Not all art style is bad if that's what you are saying. Art style and animation go hand in hand by the way. What do you define western animation as? Didn't you say you don't like anime? "Did you know that you can get something called a friend to relate to yourself, Why do you want a fake, Badly drawn cartoon as something that you relate to? "I have plenty of real friends, In case you were insinuating that people who watch anime don't have friends, But friends can turn fake on you, And not be loyal. You can lose a friend. With a fictional character, That won't happen. You can even look up to a fictional character or learn from them. Similar to your favorite actor in a movie role. It's lots of people (anime fans) who can relate to fictional characters, They even say so. There's nothing wrong with that. It doesn't make them a weird psycho. For example, Shikamaru (from Naruto) he's extremely smart, But lazy. I relate to him and many other people can relate to him too. "Western animation have more enriching backstory than anime. " List some examples if you can. I can easily bring up some great backstories anime does. They can be sad backstories that are just as impactful just like live action movies. Of course you haven't seen a single great fight scene in anime if all you seen was, Based on what you told me, 2 anime. SAO and the anime that starts with H, You never confirmed if it was HOTD or not. So yeah buddy, You haven't seen any kind of fights, There's at least, If not around, Approximately 35, 413 anime in total according to MAL (myanimelist)Like I said, Naruto, Bleach, Hunter x Hunter those are my top 3 easily, And they have outstanding fight scenes. I can even show you some so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. There's a website you can go too where you can chat and watch videos at the same time. I'm interested in doing that. If you don't want to, Then okay. I don't want to send links because 1. DDO has this glitch where they aren't allowing links in the debate. 2. Even if I put the link or tell you the fight(s) I doubt you'll go and watch them, Unless you watch them with me. Now let's talk about "Weeaboo" - which is the very first thing you say after I suggested you saying why you think anime sucks. That says a lot. So by that, Are you going to stop playing your favorite video game if a rapist or murderer happens to have that same exact game and plays it? Yes I'm aware that comparing those words to "weeaboo" is a big stretch but I just had to use that as an example. I couldn't think of any other words to say. Let's first say the definition. Weeaboo - is a non Japanese person who is obsessed with the Japanese culture or a specific part of Japanese culture & thinks they know everything about it but instead they end up disrespecting the culture while also denouncing their own. That's what a weeaboo is. A non Japanese person can like anime, Watch anime, Learn the culture, Respect the culture, Go to Japan and experience the culture, Learn the language, Etc while keeping in touch with their own which does not make them a weeb/weeaboo, Japanophile etc. Since when was it established that if you watch anime you're automatically a weeaboo? Just because you watch anime and read manga doesn't make you a weeaboo. You know what you call a person that watches anime and enjoys it? An anime fan. Some people just use the word just because others use it, Or because it's popular I guess. Now are there actually some weeaboos? Of course. But not everyone who simply watches anime makes them a weeb. I for one am not a weeb. That's like calling a black person white.
