To OP: There's only a couple of anime that bothered me in that aspect. Otherwise I don't care.
@LSSJ_Gaming MHA already has a character who's full of himself, arrogant, has anger issues and has bullied the mc since kindergarden (and told him to commit suicide on top of that). There's also another character who's abusive towards his kids and wife to the point where he gave one of his kids a visible burn scar that he'll live with his entire life and hospitalized his wife.
Neither are exemplary qualities and is sufficient to disqualify them as heroes.
So why draw the line at the comic relief pervert? At least he's a minor character you can ignore and actually gets his just desserts. You can't say the same for the other two.
I wonder why anime fans are okay with flawed characters until the character in question has a flaw related to perversion.

| @LeonhartAugust its one thing to show domestic violence and bullying since the show takes those very seriously, but the fact that it treats sexual assault as a joke is just...not good |
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.  |

| @LSSJ_Gaming I don't think Japanese Anime treats sexual assault as good. If you broadly look at this medium as a whole generally sexual assault is treated like a really bad thing. The only difference is some scenes in Japanese Anime that can be construed as sexual assault by western viewers is too often used to portray as humor in Anime. A good example would be commonly scenes in almost every other seasonal Anime where if it features a group of cute girls, one girl will often randomly grab another girls breasts at some point in the series. In Japan, something like this would not be seen as sexual assault. Where in the West like in North America if some female randomly did this to another female they could be literally legally prosecuted for doing so in real life. |
