CX, wait, I misread OP.
Yakuza_Wolf_ReRise is quite literally the picture.
Whoah, I don't know about the one on the left, but sword art online deserves all the criticism it gets. We don't suddenly get defensive when people point out the flaws in star trek fan fiction, why should we with .//hacksign fanfiction?
Tourists suck, man.
TBH the whole normalizing pedophilia thing is why I don't suggest anime to people, despite my love of the media as a whole despite its flaws.
Ignoring that it factually doesn't do that, most anime isn't loli bait. There is a lot of pure art that even the most boring, milquetoast drone of a person (edit: that wasn't meant to be in reference to loli, but to all the quirks of anime to do need some getting used to) could enjoy.
Reverence for good art is no excuse of ignorance of the dogshit permanently associated with the genre.
I mean, this kind of argument is a bit stupid. Are we supposed to not recommend any books because garbage like Mein Kampf exists (and is infact still printed today)? That's some certified Grade A trash that is permanently associated with books (or more specifically, the book genre Autobiography or Philosophy).
It's not a genre, it's a medium. And most of the bad stereotypes of anime are only universal in a certain awful genre or two.
Although the worst is the most popular, I'll give you that.
Pick a side, centrist
