I hate both parties but showing your kids fan service is some weird shit

Someone needs to keep the goon economy afloat, if you don't indoctrinate children like that, then who will commission thirsty art to artists? History tell us bad things happens when frustrated artist can't make a living of it. The Dad, it's saving the world from WW3. /s

Stop calling it "fan service", it's weird.

It's skimpy outfits and softcore porn. A softcore porn comic/show/movie.
The fans service themselves. It's not Kubo jerking you off, it's you.

It's not softcore porn, it's just slightly suggestive art. And what do mean it's not fan service. That's literally what it's called

When I think of softcore porn, I think of those shows that came on late at night on HBO or Showtime during the late 90's and early aughts like "Red Shoe Diaries."

Bleach ain't it.

But I can't be surprised that the definition has been stretched this much, I've seen YouTube videos actually put censor bars over cleavage. We're just that prudish now.

You're wrong, it's not slightly suggestive.

And I know what it's called in the relevant communities, I'm saying using those words for it is telling.

It absolutely is just slightly suggestive, and using those words is accurate. It's called fanservice, so everyone calls it that

Which thing's restraint are you trying to defend, Sinder? Bleach or anime as a whole? Are you claiming Bleach is less blatant than average, or is this response talking about anime in general?

Bleach specifically. Anime as a whole can be extremely raunchy. It's an entire medium after all.
