Why does anime have such perverse distortions of women?

[Edward Von Worms]

Does anybody else think something is very wrong with this stuff? i'm not judging anyone here but what is the point of these depictions? it seems very odd. thoughts anyone?

I don't necessarily think they are woman. Not sure but just saying.

And if they are, I don't think usually they are 'perverse', but I can be mistaken.

What's more perverse about anime is the sexualization of teenagers/children

The latter doesn't happen. Teenagers are mostly "sexualized" in anime meant FOR teenagers.

It definitely happens.

Also, doesn't really matter if the sexualized teens (mainly underaged girls) are "meant for teenagers". They're written and animated by adults most of the time and that media is consumed by adults half the time.

Don't even get me started on ecchi anime, where the girls act like dumb little kids and get sexualized.

Well, they have to write for their audience. Otherwise, there would be no young adult or children's shows. Though I think the only time I've seen a sexualized female in an anime it was actually a demon. Think that was InuYasha.

Maybe it's the coomer-brained society we're in now, but no, you can make young adult and kids shows without the sexualization of minors.

I don't know what coomer means, but I agree. I was just saying it's the job of those adults to write for their audience. Is sexualization really that common in anime?

The age of consent in Japan is 14, not 18. So in their eyes, two high-schoolers having sex is nothing wrong. Also, in over 200 anime titles I've seen (including hentai) I haven't seen a single sexualized child. Mind you, I am not a fan of hentai, because in 99% of them there is no consent, but the point stands. Anime doesn't have to conform to the puritan standards of the USA.

This actually isn't true. Age of consent in Japan depends on the prefecture and even has age of consent laws higher than in America.

Not that age of consent is relevant btw.

By the way, I forgot: women's physical development largely ends between the ages of 16 and 18. I have an IRL friend and knew more than one girl who was as endowed as Uzaki Hana from "Uzaki-chan wants to hang out" by the age of 16. So there's no "sexualization" going on most of the time. Just drawing well-endowed and developed female teenagers.

I don't just mean how they're drawn. It's also how they're framed and the context they're put in. Like, you might have a scene in anime with a highschool girl and she's being creeped on by an adult, and somehow the camera is up her skirt. Or a scene with a girl and she's doing something sexual but is "unaware" of it, and the framing makes it as sexually pleasing for the viewer as possible.

Two situations like that are IMPLIED in the anime "Scum's with" and "Sweet Blue Flowers". The perpetrator in the first one gets photographed and is "persuaded" to back off and the perpetrator in the latter gets his foot stomped. There's no upskirt shot in either. I wonder what kind of shows YOU are referring to. Scenes you described are reserved for hentai anime. They don't occur in anime aimed at teenagers. And for my stance on hentai, see one of the previous comments.
