Something I would add onto it is
So much of the sex-negative feminists you see online that fell for a right-wing psyop a decade ago
Do not realize how many of the stuff they complain about in anime... was made by women as self-expression

For whatever reason, people in Japan like this shit, even though it's a button-masher. (Camera zooms out and I'm playing Tower of Druaga stretched to 16:9 on a laptop)
