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!

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.

It’s been a while (think decades) since I watched any considerable amount of anime, but off the top of my head, Patlabor, Trigun (possibly problematic), Gundam Wing, Robotech, Solo Leveling.
Stretching the definition of anime: Gargoyles, Star Wars: Rebels and Castlevania (2017)
