Outside porn I would easily say no. Japan has a lot of creativity, and tends to also cater to men much more than most western made stuff.

I can obviously see you're baiting. Even as a masterbaiter myself I couldn't keep myself from pointing it out.

No, in fact western media sexualization is a lot worse than anime sexualization.

No, they're neither better nor worse, just like in anime, some will be well executed and some not so much

Oh and fun fact, mature western cartoons like Blue Eyed Samurai show full frontal nudity, you don't see that in any ecchi :D

Yesterday I saw Alien: Covenant and it sucked. But it did have naked boobies in a shower. If it was an anime they would've been blocked by some silly steam cloud or something.

And that's really the dif between anime and American shows. Dexter, Breaking Bad, Sex in the City, The Boys, Game of Thrones, Always Sunny in Philly, and a gajillion other shows lay it all to bare. In anime you get light beams and smoke clouds and whatnot.

I would argue that overall in some ways you can say it is better, but overall it isn't that much if at all as Western media has issues in other places where Japanese anime doesn't have as much. I recently watched a great video by the YouTuber Tronn about the Oversexualization of Teenage Boys in Western sitcoms and I thought it was a fantastic video that covers and often overlooked aspect of the discussion of sexualization in media. I would highly recommend checking his video out if you are interested in the topic.

This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.

I dont watch a lot either. Horror stuff it's common to have nudity or sex happen to evoke vulnerability to danger. That shows up in anime some too but less often. Western media the girls are more sexually aggressive while anime they most often are just innocently non sexual in their depiction to give them an image of purity. Sex scenes in Western media either try to be very passionately aggressive or shown in some artsy gentle way while in anime you usually dont even see that maybe implied at most outside of hentai. Western media seems to have a lot less variety on what body types are depicted sexually at least usually, not always. Anime has the annoying habit of making too much fill the screen in awkward ways where in Western media it is thought about a little more how close shots are done I think. Western media has more sexual behavior while anime relies on the body itself more but not always actually sexual sometimes just comedic not different from Western comedic use much though. Censorship is an obvious one. Shirtless guys seems more common in Western media even cartoons for kids.

No, anime sexualization is less prude, so it's better.

Obviously Anime is better.

I have no idea about Western movies but in Western Animation/Western video games/comics:

-women designs post Gamergate are almost never sexualized since wokeism says its sexist or some shit like that and no boobs are visible making them just look like men with a wig and in almost cases they look and act more masculine than proper male characters, in Western videogames is the same issue. Just look at Cortana from Halo CE to Halo 4 and compare her with Halo 5 and after, her boobs are gone/reduced and she isn't naked anymore. And forget about them showing cleavage. It's so bad to the point when a female character is showing cleavage which its extremely rare, its even heavily censored from her original design. Also add stuff like body positivity making them even much uglier. No wonder why most males stopped watching Western Animation and now watch Anime since they can't find sexy women in Western Animation and Western games which its very understandable.

-men designs didn't change much but they are still ruined by making most of them muscular for no reason. I don't find muscular characters sexy if they are made a lot. But I noticed their screentime as protagonist are getting robbed on purpose by women characters nowdays since wokeism says its some shit like female empowerment/representation when its clearly just a sexist move to make male players aka most of the fanbase to not play the game since they don't have male characters to self-insert and female characters don't look sexy to play or watch.

I'd say yes because you can't fuck a drawing although both are bad for your salvation if you are following Christian morals.
