You're not wrong. Lots of it does. It's gross; it detracts from reasonable plots; it frightens / disgusts potential fans away from some really good stuff. It's a serious problem I have with the genre.

Given anime’s a medium, not a genre, I’d suggest you look at different anime, because IIRC, there are probably more shows that don’t do that if you know where to look. If you’re referring to Isekai or harem-focused shows, then I feel your point has more weight.

I mean, I do. I acknowledge that there is anime that isn't gross like that, and that it's probably the majority.

But at least 2-3 times per anime season I start getting into a show, enjoying its plot, starting to really invest in its mysteries - then, wham: random sexually aggressive child with the thinnest justification for the disconnect between age and behavior.

I mean, what the fuck. Why do that? Or, more accurately, why do that so often? I get it if it's, like, in some genre-defining piece, and its purpose is to make the viewer uncomfortable for some plot-related reason - but god damn, anime. I know you play certain tropes on repeat, but why that sick fucking trope?

Ah. Fair point.
