I wouldn't mix borderline porn with action on whatever my anime genre would be, if I wrote a certain genre of books for instance, I wouldn't shove blatant nudity in them because it simply has nothing to do with the plotplot. If I want porn, I watch porn, but I wouldn't be able to watch porn and action at the same time.

It's called exploitation fiction. Often deals with heavy sexuality and violent content. You don't need to like it or think highly of it but there it is, just avoid it and enjoy something else.

"Sexual Objectification" is a meaningless term created and used by second wave and third wave feminists. Even men who hire hookers aren't objectifying them. They're simply having sex with them, no strings attached.

This...this got derailed pretty hard.

It's certainly an interesting question to try and tackle, containing inherent challenges given the multiplicity of ethics and values stemming from Japan's specific contextual environment and our own individual experiences, which could be the result of a number of factors derived from our own individualized backgrounds. However, the thread had since been turned into a session of questioning the thread creator's stance as opposed to actually talking about anime explicitly, with any meaningful discussion being substituted with posts that extend beyond the scope of Anime Discussion.

It's difficult to separate anime and real life controversies, as, understandably, anime is made by and are viewed by people, all of whom experience anime through their own frame of reference. However, please try to keep the discussion relating to anime somehow.
