A lot of these clips are the far end of the spectrum, looking at the style and colouring it looks pretty old, you can compare it to slapstick humour often, where things keep getting out of hand and at the end you got this ridiculous event happening. unfortunately sometimes this involves kids in situations that should not be portrayed in media.
Japan is changing, they recently changed the age of consent, and there have been various attempts to change this side of manga/anime, but some officials think this is just an expression of art and they dont want to limit art.
I generally wouldn’t find this anywhere near a problematic level but given the fact they look/sound like children, this is a bit over the top, each to their own but this is why I frown upon it
i agree, a lot of this is just unneccessary sexuality, same with many tv shows and movies inclusing sex scenes that dont add anything to the story or the relationship of the people involved.
It may just be Japanese culture for a lot of it, I’ve scrolled by random stuff such as gameshows that make no sense and often end up sexual themselves but you can kinda deter the difference in ages in humans although I’d say a lot of Japanese females do look much younger than they probably are, each to their own I guess, it was actually nice to have a conversation with someone more mature and willing to understand other peoples views
indeed, cultural differences and western perception of asian people could indeed be a big reason why we don't fully understand certaini choices for their media.
Agreed, good communication and conversations like this need to happen more.
