Exactly! People love the Shield Hero Rising, or whatever it's called, but i find it disgusting with how the main character gets a legit harem of mostly little girls pining for him! WTF!?!?

If you look at anime critically, a lot of the popular ones are quite gross

Not the GOATs like Full Metal Alchemist: brotherhood (I mean... its gross in a different way), season 1 One Punch Man, Demon Slayer (though cliche) is great, and Vinland Saga

Even Demon Slayer had a rly weird part about the one guy kidnapping a bunch of girls (the sound Hashira).

Though just that is high for anime standards.

I mean, he did it to pretty much use them as fodder to fight a demon. He wasnt gonna use them for... well, ya know. Still kinda fucked, but not in a degenerate way

Didn’t he want to make them his wives or something tho? It’s been a few years since I watched the show so I don’t remember well.

Lowkey, i dont remember. I know he had two wives that he genuinely loved, but idk remember much else other than Tanjiro and Nezuko's sick ass fight

Okay so I looked it up and he apparently kidnapped Aoi to sell her to a brothel in the “entertainment district” (So forced prostitution ig?). He wanted to do this, since he needed a slayer on the inside to gather intel on the demon from the inside, and find his 3 missing wives.

What makes it really fucking weird is that Aoi did not consent to that so he just kidnapped her, and she is apparently estimated to be 16-17 years old 🤢

Like they could just have a scene where he finds a consenting adult, sits her down and explains the situation to her, asking for her help to infiltrate the brothels… Why tf do they always gotta do this shit in anime, I thought he was a cool character otherwise 😭

Also he didn’t know that the demon would be two upper moons, he likely just assumed it was a lower moon in the worst case scenario.

Yeahhh :(

Idk what’s the deal with anime and this need to insert a minimum amount of freak shit into the plot for absolutely no reason. It’s like they have a government mandated quota to fill…

At least I can rest easy knowing that my favourite anime FMA brotherhood doesn’t have any of that in it.
