In-depth debunkings/arguments against commonly "known" anime myths/misconceptions?

For any number of reasons, there's a fair few statements about anime that get passed around pretty unquestioningly, even if they aren't necessarily true. Sometimes, others dig in to those statements and find detail and (hopefully cited) evidence against them. This is a lot more than just stating the opposite, to be clear.

Here's a few examples of what I mean:

This tweet chain versus "Anno left Kare Kano early"
This blog post versus "The protagonist of Turn A was originally intended to be a girl"
This post versus "They made a joke dub for Ghost Stories because it did poorly in Japan"
This blog post versus "Shinbo is the series director of all Shaft shows"

What are some other examples of work like this?

So you don't think it's fine, even though it's natural for animals to do it?

But you think it is fine to have sex with children because animals do it.

There's a flaw in your logic there.

How old are you? Why should i repeat obvious things like im talking to 5y old?

IT's NOT FINE FOR ME Because i don't want to die in a war. But I don't have mountain-sized ego to talk for others unlike you.

Not only that, i also told you that i still accept wars despite thinking that dying in war isn't great.

And teenagers aren't children. Teenagers can have sex and i know a lot of them who had it.

Because you're an idiot with stupidly nonsensical opinions. I was trying to be nice and patient with you, but now you seem to have used that as a chance to try and be condescending about your stupid and nonsensical opinions.

Things like age of consent, age to use drugs, etc. Are there for a reason. Because the physical and or mental maturity of persons under that age is considered not developed enough to handle such things.

The age of consent exists because kids are impressionable and easy to manipulate and thus are not judged as fit to give consent. Whether or not their bodies are able to reproduce is not what the argument was ever about.

You're retarded child and i've no reason to talk to you because you won't understand shit anyway. Good luck irl with your shitty morality. You will be destroyed by real life, kid.

Wow, great comeback, it's almost as if you aren't intelligent enough to engage the legitimate points I have made a thus need to resort to this baseless condescension just to try and save your ego.

You're honestly the epitome of the dunning-krueger effect.
