I hear people in my country of America saying, "anime is just nasty.. it's perverted, sick and twisted"... well... I agree, but it's not really something us westerners have the right to talk about.

Lolicon is bad? Well... lolicon is kinda sick but still, it's better than toddlers in tiara's.

and look at western adult animation. you mean to tell me anime is messed up and gross... but modern family guy, drawn together, south park, or Ren and Stimpy's adult party cartoon are okay?

I'm not dissing western animation. A lot of it I really love. However, there's stuff in western cartoons that's just as bad as what's in anime.

Just saying, so much of what people in America bash is already here in American animation. It's really not fair for people to be claiming anime is particularly more messed up than western cartoons. There's a shitty episode of family guy where peter tries to marry chris. There's bad jokes involving peter staring at a young boys as and Chris giving his grandpa a hand job...

yet it's anime that's just completely messed up? American cartoons are different? bull... complete bull.
and I'm not denying the sick twisted things I've seen in anime. I'm just saying Americans who watch things like toddlers in tiaras or most adult cartoons have no right to talk... and you know I rarely stick up for the gays... but people in America say "sakura cardcaptor has gays... that's innapropriate for children"

Okay, I'm not disagreeing, if that's your view, but look at some of the shit that's in SpongeBob. I saw an episode of spongebob that encouraged stealing... literally. They were stealing from a hotel and got rewarded for it in the end. There's an episode where mr. crabs drives plankton to attempt suicide and yet is seen as the good guy in the end.

If americans wanna diss anime kid shows... clean up the shit that's in our own country

Is "lolicon" better than toddlers and tiaras?

Society decides what is "messed up and gross", yanks just have a lot less exposure to animation than otaku dorks do and so they base their judgement on what is handed to them.

Shows like the Simpsons and Archer through the television, and shows like Bible Black through porn sites, which side is "gross"?

There were scenes in south park where kids were nude. And atleast in anime it's just nudity some times.
Nudity isn't a big deal. They showed goku's dick because they didn't consider nudity to be too big of a deal. Not to be perverted.

There's a cutscene from "south park stick of truth" where a young boy gets an anal abortion.

They still represent kids, and people who deny it are just sugarcoating pedophilia
toddlers and tiaras is mostly weird, obsessive parents living through their children though. but yeah theyre also sexualized when they make them look like adults

Yeah, I suppose it is.

I wonder if there is actually a correlation between people watching Toddlers and Tiaras and having a disdain for Japanese animation though, I haven't spoken to many avid Toddlers and Tiaras fans at all so I wouldn't really know.

In the whole scope of things, yes anime is more twisted than american stuff. I'm assuming that we are talking about actual anime vs american television. Anime as a whole is extremely diversified and unique. There are anime out there about boobs, incest, lolicon, rape and other subjects that seem to pop up frequently in many people's minds which feeds to their bias about anime. However what has not been done is the widespread awareness to many people of amazing shows such as attack on tiatan, death note, Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin, etc.. which in my opinion far surpass anything holloywood puts out. They are complex mature shows that are extremely fun to watch and understand.

Anime is twisted. Well some of it are.

As for other American cartoons, I'm not really exposed to many of them, instead I grew up watching Chinese cartoons (yes the legit ones, not some joke to refer to anime in attempt to piss of anime fans). I'm pretty sure some were redubbed from japanese anime, but that's not the point.

As for anime being more twisted than anything else, no it is not. People that watch certain thing tend to get desensitised after some time, so people who perceives American cartoons are normal are those that have watched a lot of it. For example, as an anime watcher I think moe is normal and totally fine.
If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

A lot of Anime is pretty perverted. Even in serious Animes there are scenes where a guy blushes due to a certain situation. Most of the time those situations aren't even necessary or relevant to the story but is included because that's just how Anime is.

Whenever I see a topic I always think of the "Youtubers react to MEMEME!" episode on YouTube. As soon as the girl was stripped to her underwear one of the women there said "That's disgusting!"

Anime simply has more attractive women than western cartoons and most people can't handle that. It's okay if Nicki Minaj sings about her ass and shakes it all day long in a really bad music video, but do the same in something like MEMEME! and it's disgusting all of a sudden.

i think the main reason is because when people see anime they instinctively associate it with cartoons that are aimed for children ..... while in fact some of them ARE NOT!!

I don't know if there's anything as twisted as Violence Jack in American cartoons.

But in general, it does seem that adult American cartoons are more twisted than anime. South Park and Family Guy have some twisted shit that can be taboo, except they're satirical comedies. Anime tend to have twisted stuff in non-comedy shows. So it's difficult to say. It depends what you find twisted. Anime has taboo stuff involving incest, yaoi, yuri etc. And even though American cartoons have bloody violence in it, anime has moments that are more violent and gory.

In short, a lot of hentai are more twisted than American cartoons. But non-pornographic wise, I think American cartoons are probably more twisted than anime. Except that quantity-wise, Anime has a lot more titles that are twisted (Elfen Lied was pretty twisted), but the stuff I've seen in South Park, Archer and maybe Family Guy are more twisted than anything I've seen in anime.

Yeah, that was pretty twisted, in a psychological way. Now that I think about it, if you bring psychological and dementia anime into it, anime may be more twisted than American stuff, what with all the mind rapes.

In here many people still think anime as a children's programs, so it's no wonder they are really shocked after seeing some perfectly normal anime.
