I man how many Americans show would pass that. Doesn't glorify unhealthy relationships covers a lotof stuff.

I swear, anime fans can't keep getting away with their soft-pedophilia.

Fans? My brother in Christ, this is as often as not entirely the artists.

I'll be happily enjoying my Sci-Fi action/comedy slice of life and some anime director thick in the sauce busts into the studio and demands upskirts of the most obviously prepubescent girl in the rooster.

(Mostly) Nobody is asking for this!

Does Inuyasha promote bad relationships? 🤔

I mean, Inuyasha himself is constantly hung up on his dead ex-girlfriend, and his dead ex-girlfriend still hates Inuyasha for killing her, even though he didn't and she fucking knows it was actually Naraku.

Meanwhile his current maybe girlfriend is only like 16 and he at least a hundred years old.

I don't get it. Is the joke that most anime sexualizes underage characters and glorifies unhealthy relationships? Because that's decidedly not true. There are all kinds of anime shows, it's just a bias in what gets imported into western countries.
