The flag here for Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru! was sent with the rationale

A show about a grown woman with a love for little girls. Could be problematic.

Another flag claimed it is "hentai"

If it's on Crunchyroll, it's not hentai.

Ah, I heard about this one. It's very controversial to say the least because it can come off as really creepy at best or border on paedo pandering at worst.

It's definitely not hentai ; the anime's camera may way too often be in creep mode, but the little girl remains fully clothed and there's no sex scene whatsoever.

It does have a main character who is an unrepentant paedophile, and whose creepy behaviour is played for laughs, but it's on the "steal and sniff underwear" and "take candid pictures (the audience only seeing the tame ones)" level, nothing remotely explicit.

(For additional data : the girl is in elementary school - i.e. probably 10 at most - and her stalker is a grown woman in at least her mid-twenties who's old enough to be former military.)

So this one isn't running afoul of the porn policy, but definitely feels dodgy on the "paedo-pandering" front.

(edit: I'm only commenting on the more-easily-accessible anime ; haven't touched the manga so can't speak about it.)

From the above description, it sounds like it's someone trying to be funny and ending up creepy as fuck. But it doesn't seem to actually be pandering to pedophiles.

By the way, if it's kept, the page should probably be moved : the anime was localized as "UzaMaid" (the series's shorthand nickname), and the manga as "UzaMaid: Our Maid is Way Too Annoying!" (basically a straight translation after the nickname).

[edit] Wait, no, the move was already done, the report is for a redirect.

Bumping so that it doesn't remain stuck between locked threads.

Keep. It does not sound like pedo pandering to me.

Eh, good enough.

i remember watching one episode (and if i’m being honest, don’t really plan on continuing it for both obvious and non-obvious reasons), but from what i remember, the ex-military lolicon maid’s lolicon headassery is 100% portrayed as creepy, at least from the MC’s POV.

[up]Yeah, that really sounds like it's supposed to be "this character is a Jerkass" and not pedopandering.

So I vote keep.

There's also a second pedophile who isn't played for laughs at all that the woman is trying to stop from getting to kids, which is more evidence to me that this isn't pandering.

i rewatched a few episodes to get a more thorough answer and i’m reiterating my last message: Tsubame’s lolicon headassery is 100% portrayed as creepy (and even then, show makes a point in showing she’d never go full pedo, quoting the scene where she goes on a reporting spree against a bunch of actual pedophiles on the MMO her love target (for lack of a better term) plays. at least it condemns the lolicon headassery it plays for comedy (also quoting the MMO scene).

TLDR: stock standard Comedic Lolicon headassery with a protag who thinks said Comedic Lolicon is creepy as all hell. keep.

Looks like we have a consensus to keep, if more for the anime than the manga. But anyway. I'll do the record-keeping; closing in the meantime.
