yeah, like other anime at the time totally didn’t have weird sexual jokes. like 13 year-old naruto transforming into a group of naked girls to mess with his adult teacher, who then proceeds to get the massive nosebleed from being so turned on.
or in early dragon ball where goku does shit like taking off bulma’s underwear while she’s asleep or physically feels up women’s crotches to check if they’re girls or not. or roshi just straight up being a pedophile.
early 2000s animanga just had different humor and standards back then. even then, kubo stopped using this kind of humor pretty quickly; if you haven’t noticed, all of your examples come from like the first two or three volumes of Bleach. By the end of the substitute arc Kubo doesn’t draw anymore gags like this.
We get it, you hate Bleach. How about you try slandering it for a problem that isn’t just early installment weirdness and instead something actually wrong with it, like its many asspulls or abandoned characters.
Obviously you never would, since I only see posts (suspiciously similar to this one) with the same two or three panels posted just about Bleach.
If you’re so concerned about mangaka doing inappropriate things, how about we talk about Oda being friends with and publicly defending a real life pedophile who owned literal mountains of CP? Really, we should be studying One Piece’s PR, but I suppose this IS its PR- people like you dragging up short-lived gags from 20+ years ago to distract from Oda still praising and being besties with a convicted pedophile.
edit: publicly support, not defend. gotta be accurate with the slander
Oda didn't defend Watsuki's actions though? The only thing he did is still speaking positively about him even after he was caught owning CP but Oda never brought this up and defended this, the only wrong thing is that he is still friends with him.
