It's too desensitized to gore, but there can never be enough sex.

Got to love those Neo Christian buzz phrases of "Problematic and safe spaces". They never give up looking for Demons to rally against do they.

Considering lolicon material is the equivalent to CP irl, there are arguments to be had on if the normalization of it in anime/hentai has caused the culture of it to desensitize people to it and flocked bad actors.

From rape, to the sexualization of children/teens, to the topic of slavery, anime has lots of problematic elements that a lot of anime fans just ignore because “fiction”. This can in turn normalize a lot of elements that border along problematic, as well as provide safe spaces for people who actually believe in controversial/problematic ideas.

I'm actually more amazed at people gatekeeping fictional themes for fiction just because "it normalizes things". People have to understand that there's simply different cultures and that anime is definitely not aimed at a western audience.

Behind that "sexualization" of teens, there is a message for the young population of Japan to set loose, because Japan rules in school (or pretty much anything) are very strict, which leads to isolation and people being too shy and/or with a severe social anxiety.

Behind Slavery/Rape themes there's a portrayal of human horror that should send a positive message rather than "Normalize it" (well, more than positive, it's a grim reminder, like Perfect Blue for example)

Japan has many issues in it's society and Anime is one of the scapegoats for them.

War existed way before any fictional thing ever existed, there was no video games that caused war in the past, and if anything had influenced people before, it's not the fiction's fault, is the fault of negligent parents that does not properly educate their children by making them learn the difference from real life and fiction. As always, people will shift the blame to others and not themselves.

So, what is this topic about? I don't quite understand, sorry.

This is the original opening post that the op deleted:

"Are anime fans desensitized?"

Never mind I chose the wrong community to ask. This community is not mature enough to have grown-up conversations without trolling and avoiding the argument with insults.

what else did u expect, lol. it's mostly kids or horny kids here or well, not kids who are into the former. those weirdos will even debate u that they arent in the wrong. would love to seem em do that irl with anyone with sane morals tho. this place is just a šhitstorm of cringe. doubt u can find many serious grown up ppl here that would discuss. well, except me and few other but i dont wish to discuss anything here rly. i just stop by here to feel better about my sad life when i read some stuff here

Yeah I’ve just given up trying to talk to these people that is semi-serious. MAL forums really is just a place for neckbeards who are too into anime. Someone above really typed out a 5 paragraph comment talking about the nuances of slavery and sexualizing minors as a “deeper message for the Japanese audience”. You can’t make that stuff up. I doubt they’d ever argue their twisted morals irl because they know that they are freaks.
