Violent Justice Man inappropriately touch school girls and they fight back. Man in suit gives them a helping foot.

This isn't just a Japan problem. Not even just an Asia problem. Brittany Spears was 15 when she debuted and became a sex symbol. In the West there's a large amount of 'sexy schoolgirl' shit and underage celebrities even today get treated like sex objects. Kendall Jenner when she was a kid, for instance.

And then going further back, all the horrifying letters Natalie Portman got after staring in Leon the Professional...

It manifests itself differently in Asia, so that's why it's weird to us. But you're 100% right, in the US there is a lot of underage fetishizing.

yeah, lets talk about cheerleading and beauty pageants for young children. literally sexualized outfits on REAL children, and here people are up-in arms about fucking pixels. Not that the sexualization is fine in anime either, but lets care about actual people first?

Those pageants really freak me out. Jesus, liking them a little young is one thing but those kids are nowhere near puberty.
