I understand shounen being for teenagers/younger boys. As a former teenager I never liked the bogus amount of freakiness going on in my shows, yet I have to skip through or watch through it to enjoy the meat and potatoes of one piece, bleach, naruto, etc. like IT CANNOT be that good! like do these creators and studios think we are like knuckle dragging dimwits? It feels like the show is insulting my ability to consume media. It dangles its nonsensical "FAN SERVICE" over my head like a carrot infront of a pig. "Here piggy piggy here is your bogusly drawn naked anime girl". God forbid a man want to see a show with actually well developed female characters that aren't overly objectified. Like shoujo anime do a good job with their depictions of women. I feel like if you grow up on anime and all you see is bogus depictions of women it'll genuinely warp your brain into more wacky stuff. Look if you like it you like it. But man those are kids! this should be illegal!!! Seinen does a good job of making great and better depicted women too. but they incorporate an obtusely gross amount of SA material like yeah IK the real world is horrible and I understand that art reflects life. But dude some of these themes arent even explored it just kinda happens. this whole topic has probably been rinsed to extinction but it is a genuine frustration I have had for a while. At that point am I supposed to create the media in this vacuum of imperfection?! And now a lot of new age Shounen don't even try to make a good story. Honestly baffling how this is the most popular genre and it doesnt even require a compelling story!

Thank you for tuning into my Rant Blog of the day! hopefully I can post something more positive without infringing on my own privacy!
