i don't like fanservice because i feel like it's pandering to creepy neckbeards and it makes me feel dirty when watching

because i'm a prude

man

even though i would prefer less fanservice, i really disagree with you guys

i mean yes, the fact that its anime makes it weirder and not something i prefer, but it remains that if i want to avoid watching stuff without at least some sexual content (anime or otherwise) my options are becoming more limited and im fighting a very uphill battle

At best, it's cringeworthy. At worse it's indicative of a fundamental lack of respect of the agency of women.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

while i agree with you norm

i don't see how its any different when shows that use real people have women being sexy for no reason

i would argue its more tame as far as sexism goes actually, at least they're not using a real human being for the purpose of eye candy

I've stopped talking about anime and am discussing media in general at this point.

And regardless, even for fictional, drawn characters, it's still harmful in a different way.

In this case the creative team is making a character from scratch, and thus have a responsibility to present them as actual people. Pandering their sexual characteristics to the fans is an abuse of such power, and I've never seen fanservice done in a way that hasn't damaged the work as a whole.

i agree with that too, yes

only reason i brought that up is that we were on the topic of discrediting the medium of animu entirely, when i think the most common problems within it are not particularly unique to it

No it's a test that determines what classes I would go to in Columbus State College.

I scored 99 on writing, ...16 or 24 on math, and 79 on Reading! :D
