Not sure if it is a legit issue, but I heard outsiders view anime as objectifying/sexualizing females. The blame is usually the fanservice, which I am sure a lot of you are kinda sick of this complain. But is fanservice the only thing responsible for that? How about too many cute girls?

Edit:
I should have known that as cuteness itself is subjective, this question is ambiguous from the start. So if possible, you can exemplify what you think as a cute girl.

Of course, if you are a female, you may treat it as a cute-boy-thread instead if you wish.

There will never be too many cute girl. Cute is justice.

Who wants to see chubby or fat girls in anime anyway?

That's all I gotta say... Oh wait, it isn't because of the thirty character thing.


Well, cute girls in anime are fine, and I usually like them. But I would like them if they had a purpose in the story or they had traits/development other than them being cute. The exact reason why Nanami, Chiyo and Elsie and my main three waifus.

Idiots think everything objectifies women. They have zero credibility at this point, so paying any attention to them is completely pointless.

Also, my opinion about sexual fan service is that it's so overused because it sells fairly well, if someone has a problem with it then they shouldn't buy those products.
I enjoy fan service and I'll continue to like it. Just because something is overused doesn't necessary mean it's bad. In fact it's overused because majority of people enjoy it.

This is a cute picture for me:


So making a direct relationship between cuteness and lewdness is just wrong. Those are different things and if they are together in an anime is because it is intended by the ones who made it. They don't have a cause and effect relationship.

Sexualization isn't inherently bad and those who view it as such aren't worth considering in the context of censorship.

As for cute girls, I guess you mean girls who are more cute-focused compared to say...sexy-focused or such? I like variety in character focuses when it comes to aesthetics, and I feel like I get that now, so it's probably good as is, at least for me.

There is no such thing as "too many" cute girls in Anime. Since real life is brutally uncute, Anime should balance this.

The concept was interesting it was just so weird. Even for someone who loves ecchi like I do, combining ecchi with a serious plot is almost always a mistake. If Alexander had been a girl, I think I would have been able to tolerate it more.

It's not. Like I can't really think of a more pointless 'issue'. Puritan outsiders will say otherwise, but who cares about them? They're not even consumers of the medium.

There can never be enough cute girls.

I somehow suspect that the people complaining about girls not being chubby, or even fat, would still find something to complain about if anime did contain such girls.

I don't find the sexualization/objectification of anime girls any different than in Western media.

Unlike Western media, these characters often have more personality and uniqueness. Sure, a harem is a male fantasy but at least the girls have some personality even if it's a cliched one. It's way better than Black Widow.

I'm someone who actually thinks it's a bit unrealistic when there is no sexual tension in an anime, especially with some of the scenarios animes put characters in, hehe.

But yeah, it didn't bother me any. I actually watched the uncensored version so it felt like a light hentai when I saw it. *giggles* And I didn't mind Alex starting out as a boy (even though, yeah, I do prefer female characters when given the choice), but to see a boy like that being genderswaped in that story's setting would of been too good! Especially if Katja took advantage of it... *giggles*
The whole rivalry dynamic mixed in would just sqqqueeee~ > / / / <

It's because there aren't many chubby girls in Japan. In anime there are also a lot of girls with fangs, twintails, and cat ears. In America girls don't have those.

OT: Cute girls make anime better. If it weren't for all the cute girls I never would have got into anime.
