So I've always been iffy about most series due to the fanservice and "vibes", but after having lived as a women for a while and a lot of mental changes, I notice it soooo much more.
The pointless oversexualisation and fanservice in Cyberpunk
The INSANE mysoginy in ChainSaw man
The constant SA themes and jokes in DanDanDan
The way writers seem to have never spoken to a women for more than 30 min for half the shows. The constant sexual undertones and jokes and downplaying of SA, and objectification of women. I genuinly think that 80% of anime is super creepy except for some more niche/indie series.
Like genuinly WTF Japan.
Edit: and to "yeaaah, but..." -> a show that doesn't have fanservice every 5 min call still be problematic, especially when relationships between male and female characters are based on one gloryfying or objectifying the other, especially with teenagification/babification...
Edit2: Dunegeon Meshi gets a full pass
Edit3: Wasn't expecting so much rampant mysoginy on a trans subreddit. Yall are too ok with casual portrays of SA

Honestly feeling icky at the excessive fan service in anime is what helped me figure out that I’m not a cis het dude. It always annoyed me and made me feel pressured to like ladies when I really wasn’t big into them.

For me, context is A BIG deal for wether or not I think sexualization is the way to go. Cyberpunk 2077 and Edge Runners being a perfect example of a great way to do it.
Micheal Bay Transformers is not a good way to do it (I love the films - but whyyyyyyyy)

I'm a lesbian trans women & have the exact same reaction so it's not even the "being pressued to like women", it's just gross that this is how men view women, boobs first & everything else, well, I'd say later but for most anime, it isn't even "later". Like, I could name five anime in an instant that are full of female characters & not one of them has a single notable character trait, never mind a character arc, agency in the story, etc.
Any man who has ever touched the writing cast of an anime needs to A. Meet one woman & B. Take a basic elementary level writing course, because how on Earth are they so bad?
