These creeps have ruined anime and manga. It’s probably why the genres have become extremely disturbing in recent years. It’s hard to find anything that isn’t super gross and weird

Couldn't agree more - I got into anime/manga 15 years ago and while the communities were full of misfits and socially awkward people, I don't remember them being so gross. I remember when politics and religion were considered controversial subjects (most forums had special debate subforums) and being offtopic was highly frowned upon. Now the discord trans agenda shows up everywhere.

I used to love anime when I was younger. Thought I'd kickback and watch some new ones during the lockdown but everything is weird! I honestly wish someone would come up with a list of 'not nauseating' anime and Manga.

Lol. I think the last tolerable one I started watching was Silver Spoon. But I stopped after a few episodes and don't remember why. Maybe it sucked too.

I really enjoyed some anime when I was a kid three decades ago. Some of the cartoons were really great, like "Ringing Bell". I watched it again recently and was really kind amazed at the message.

Don't think I've heard of it. Checking it out. Hopefully it fixes the bug.

Off the top of my head: Noragami, Psycho Pass and Shinsekai Yori. I know dudebro/ecchi stuff isn't targeted at us so I don't even bother giving anything with an ecchi tag or male-oriented.

[–]FuriousPenguin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Forget the specific Ecchi tag. Even the normal ones are overly sexualised. I mean I want to watch an anime with my niece and nephew without screwing them up for life. It's terrible! I'll have a look at the ones you've mentioned. I miss the innocent stuff!

They do straight up incest themes all the time. One of the most popular ones is yuri and it’s got a couple of step sisters and of course rapey teen boys, and actual assault. Not to mention the ones with huge age gaps and one of the characters being a student and the older creep their teacher. Like, that is NASTY SHIT. Stomach turning. I gave up trying to find any good stuff with adults. Such a shame.

Ruined? It was either same or even worse before (and games in 80-90th there were almost all with questionable content and always with sexual abuse of women, even game was absolutely about something else, there will be at least 1 scene with that). Nowadays it is much more large-scale, tho. And more weird people infiltrated communities both in Japan and on West.

It’s possible I just mean yuri, and also possible that I failed to notice how bad it was in general when I was a kid because I was just so thrilled to see lesbians in anything. I mean, the female character design is horrid, but we really can’t say American comics are not just as unrealistic in portrayal of women’s bodies, in the mainstream either.

It’s also possible that since there is a demand for more anime/manga here, we have been getting to see how creepy a wider variety is.

I think the tropes in anime and manga are way grosser in terms of children and the portrayal of women and girls being constantly “shy and embarrassed, and non-consenting but no means yes” bullshit. Also the average age of female characters is like 12-18. So so creepy.

I think MezozoicGay is japanese and speaking from such a perspective. There is plenty of sordidity in japanese geekdom that westerners seem ignorant of, for example 1986's Gundam ZZ has an 11 year old character named after a cartoon child porn magazine (Elpeo Ple) and one of Enix' (now Square-Enix) first games was violent child erotica (Lolita Syndrome).

I found this enlightening with regard to the recent bans: https://saidit.net/s/MeanwhileOnReddit/comments/5b2l/another_ban_wave_just_happened/k8sx

The above person's partner, I believe https://www.reddit.com/user/bpwpb/

No, that's Aimee Challenor. Nekosune is a friend of his from the UK, not the alleged paedophile Aimee is married to.

Who's the partner? Do you know? Either way, why the hell would any one person be moderating so many subreddits? That's bizarre.

Here's another "power mod" and men's rights freak. Not sure if this is one of the already mentioned mods (could very well be based on writing style). Note all the men's rights subs he/she moderates. https://www.reddit.com/user/WorseThanHipster

Writing style looks like one of the other mods I mentioned, but he says he's a "bi guy". Moderates boysrights, menslib, other dudebro stuff. https://removeddit.com/r/AgainstHateSubreddits/comments/ffd3py/no_users_are_not_conspiring_to_post_illegal/

Ngl, seeing yogscast in the list of subs he mods really hurts.
