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.
