      The burden of proof is usually on the accusation side. Proving a very large group to not be into something is going to be hard, whatever the group or the thing.

      You could go with empirical evidence that there’s a bajilion people around the entire globe that watch anime, but (hopefully) slightly less actual sexual abuse going on. Ignoring people in position of power of course.

        Im not saying that anime fandom in general leans towards being paedophilia. And its not really an accusation as much as it is just a acknowledgement of the fact that a lot of the modern anime i see being produced has very very disturbing themes around female teenagers and children.

        Theres one called Dance in the Vampire Bund or some shit that I turned off and felt a burning rage in my heart, after a kid has a sex scene. And this shit is available legitimately on reputable streaming platforms in the UK. Its not ok.

        I watch anime flat out, but i refuse to watch that pedo shit.

        Honestly the blatant normalisation of sexualising children makes me want to fucking lose my shit.

      I don’t doubt it. Hentai in general seems to light up a different part of my brain than pornography.
