Sexism in animation
Reasons why Anime is not sexist?
It’s not actual videos, its animation! Its actual art! It’s just the artists opinion of what he/she thinks is beautiful; it’s his/her way to express art. If you call (picture 1) this sexist, than you may as well call this (picture 2) sexist.
And yes, you could argue that picture 2 is a feminine hero who just went through war well the same thing happens in picture 1! It’s is just a modern, fiction version of picture 2!
