Unironically yeah. It's offputting everywhere I see it. A scene will be framed a certain way that results in a specific shot lingering or showing a foot slightly longer than it needs to or in slightly higher detail than it needs to and every time I'm sucked out of whatever immersion I had and into "haha women are sex objects especially any parts of them that might make them uncomfortable".
No i mean all kink in anime, get it out of here. I'm sick of all the waifuism, god damn. I just want an isekai slop where the MC is OP without an obvious subcomponent of collecting women to fawn over him like they're Pokemon. Introduce a cute animal companion? Haha they're a little girl now, EVERY time
I'm really enjoying two shows this season because they're real low on that shit. This Gatherer's Adventure show he asks the reincarnation guy to give him a cute companion and he's all "oh, she'll be cute alright!" and he gets this little baby dragon and at least as of 4 episodes in they haven't rushed to turn her into an oversexualized little girl. She's just a dragon, she's cute, she smells like fish. Let her stay a damn dragon!
Something else i really like is he makes friends with a cool dragon guy and the guy asks him what the deal is with him and instead of "i have to keep everything a secret from everyone" which is a trope I'm so sick of he's like "okay, I trust you, i'll tell you" and i stood up and shouted FUCK YEAH. Trusting people! Give me more
A Wild Last Boss Appeared is also pretty good because it's like Overlord if instead of turning into a spooky skeleton he turns into a lady and instead of having 72 waifus she's the only waifu. CW: maybe better than some anime regarding gender since there seems to be an intentional trans element to the MC turning into a woman (they literally had a moment where they turned the friggin frogs gay (one turned female and they were just like huh)) but also they introduced a fem "boy" character who I think clearly identifies as female by her own speech and they constantly go "she's a boy though." It's really confusing because I don't know what the fuck message the author is trying to convey with the MC being a woman + the frog thing etc.
Idk I'm a cis dude who doesn't read books so I'm sure literally anyone here would have a better take on it and how good/bad it is with gender issues
Either way it hasn't been horny at all, at least up until episode 5 where they go to a hot spring and I was like, greaaaat, here we go, they always have to do this shit 🙄 and it was horny but only for like a minute and partially to explicitly establish that the MC is actually not horny at all so maybe they got it out of their system
