Why showing panties has become a sexual fan service?

I mean...yea it's funny to see the female character's reaction when her panties exposed...But it's just panties after all...right? How many people actually get aroused simply by seeing someone's panties in real life? Have they ever passed underwear section in a mall?

Edit: Thanks guys for all your replies. Though there is a couple of things I’d like to point out:
1. In fact I’ve been watching anime for years and some of the points here seem familiar to me as I definitely seen that before from AN ANIME CHARACTER. What I was interested is whether it really ‘service’ the audiences (in particular, audiences from western anime community), or it’s more or less just a meme today.
2. I do not agree panties in real life is a sexual content (if you don’t have special fetish, of course), otherwise stores like Victoria Secrete would have a big trouble with their advertisement.
3. As I stated, I don’t find it a problem if excited well, in particular, as comedic elements. It possibly existed as ‘fan service’ in old days when character nudity was more restricted, but I question it still effectively ‘service’ the audience as we see bikini, shower scene or even soft core sexual content more and more often in today’s anime.

maybe it is a cultural thing, like the japs are way more shy about exposing some body parts
or maybe(probably) it is just anime juvinely way of showing sexual themes or acts,

It's not the panties themselves, it's that you see them on a girl when you are not supposed to, hence why your underwear section isn't a good example.

how many times does it have to be explained that some people get off to teasing or something that requires their imagination?

its the "you're not supposed to see them" factor that makes them so arousing to people, and no one gets aroused just by looking at panties, its when theyre on a girls thighs hiding the goods that they turn people on, especially when you can see the crease of their vag

for some people a girl in lingerie or w/e is more arousing than a girl who is nude, so a good upskirt is great fap material

and the way you worded it means you must be new, pantyshots go back to the 50s or 60s and im pretty sure was the first major non nude sexual fanservice

anyway.. pic dump time

This kind of anime that teases so much with panties 'n shit, are usually targeted or for virgin otakus or for 13/14 years old teenage boys...

And both would get really aroused by girls showing panties

I do not believe it myself, i just found that to be the what virgin male authors, think is a bold handling of sexual content

There's a clear difference between how panties are represented in a Miyazaki movie and an ecchi series. In ecchi series, a lot of times the panties are ridiculously skimpy/riding up the girl's ass crack.

Well, I was definitely turned on watching Nausicaä. The lack of panties was hot. (yes this is a joke- I know tights but honestly, it would make more sense to fly around with no pants and I could not unsee)

Panties without a girl in them are just a piece of cloth.
Anime sometimes shows some perverts that would sniff removed panties, but I can't explain why they're doing it. I always had trouble relating to other people about smells.

Panties with an attractive girl in them are a clothing accident, which is automatically funny. If the panties are sufficiently sexy, it's also sexy. Of course, what is sexy panties depends on the person - it seems in anime, the trick is finding the right balance between "little kid" and "used goods".

Note that when "clothing accident" aspect is lost (like in bikini bottoms or when you've been watching Strike Witches for half a season all at once and their clothing sense is getting to you) pantyshots lose much of their appeal.

Yeah, what he said.

I pass by underwear shops all the time. It does absolutely nothing for me.

But when a girl is walking along and their skirt flips up, it's like you're seeing something you weren't meant to see. Even though they tried so hard to hide them, I still saw them. BOY did I see them. And unlike in real life, it's guilt free!

Anyway as for the pic dump

Because is pantsu... You are not supposed to see it. If you go on the beach you will see lots of bikini... is hot, but is not pantsu!!! If you go beach in my country you will see lots of toppless women wearing just a thong... is hot, because boobs and because East Europe has good genes when it comes to women.... but is NOT PANTSU!!!! Underwear is something more intimate... If you see a panty shot on the street you will feel guitly but happy too... of course under some conditions: young and beautifull woman... if it happens when you see childrens (which is really easy), then you have a problem, commit suicide...
Is like some sort of prize... when she is in bikini, she is in control, she shows what she whants to show and that is rather boring... but a panty shot is out of her control and requires you to be at the right place at the right time... Anyway, lets stop here because I sound like some sort of pervert now, despise not having a passion for underwear... The other day I saw some nice black panties from a lady who was going up the stairs in the subway, and I turned my head in shame and guilt, so I guess I am normal... tough, now that I think about it, that was a fine ass... o////o

it's already a big fetish in the community. many men also love seeing panties IMO. probably because it's cute and girls wear them most of the time.

Tbh, I don't even know why this is a question, it's extremely self explanatory.

Because it's teasing and only results in an outcry for more fanservice from the demographic that find pleasure in this fetish, therefore fanservice like this keeps the audience entertained and buying media like this, and companies will make profit. That's why it's common to find this form of fanservice.

Like tell me you wouldn't at least react if you were to see an actual girl's panties up-close?

But yeah panties are nice because you know something's behind there that you're not supposed to see, but this is the closest you'll get to it. They also look cute and can be aesthetically pleasing, especially shimapan imo.

Since panties emphasize a sexual region, they arouse sexuality. In a way they are more arousing for some than nudity, because they direct your attention more fully to the sexual region.

*Nods deeply in understanding* I understand your point all too well my friend. To simply see the panties is not enough. One must wear the panties upon one's head. One must smell the panties. One must feel the panties. One must BECOME THE PANTIES.

I'm glad to see that you've taken the right step down the path of nobility my friend. Just remember the legendary triad: Shimapan, Kumapan, and Ichigopan. Our saviors.

Well at least you recognise it fails in comparison to the real GOATS :)

Edit: I think I gave Absolute duo a 4/10 just cause it was generally a bad show, but' it's all good. I'd personally rather see someone rate everything a 10, then rate everything 1's and 2's.

It's better if they make an effort rather than go for cheap painty shots.
