Crow Tastes DELICIOUS
- The Proliferation of Panty Shots - this is deplorable, but part of the landscape. We all know it’s awful and whining about it seems a waste of time.
- Unrealistic Body Proportions - These are cartoon characters. I understand that images can give people unrealistic expectations for their bodies, but for real? Have you SEEN Lucky Star/Manabi
So, since this blog is primarily a learning exercise for myself, I am reserving the right to rescind statements I made earlier. When I originally posted this, my interest was to prevent the blog from becoming a laundry list of sexual objectification in anime. Were I to point out the transgressions of every harem or ecchi show there would be no space for interesting examination and frankly, I’d get bored.
But I do think that these portrayals for anime women deserves some examination if only as a way of bringing to light their toxic consequences if they are taken as “normal”.
