“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”

“Well she didn’t exactly say ‘no’..”

“Yea, but did you see what she was wearing?”

“Boys will be boys!”

[lmbibitor]

I miss “vintage” anime artstyles, it was plain and simple back then but nowadays all i see is a woman who’s supposedly 1000yrs old looking like she’s 12 or women/girls having such unrealistic body shapes i.e boobs being bigger than their whole damn head and looking like it would snap their spine in half irl, also waists so tiny you wonder if they even have all their organs intact. Boobs DON’T have to jiggle with every step you take pls i’m begging for some normal fucking animation here

[lmbibitor]

Like these two characters are roughly around the same age what’s going on

[tekka-dan]

Let’s talk about the anime that have been on air long enough to have started off seemingly appeasing / logical that have become overdeveloped, eye sore mess:

Nami from One Piece in 2004:

vs Nami from One Piece in 2017:

Would you believe this is the same character?

Example B, Orihime from Bleach 2005:

Vs Orihime from Bleach 2016:

Would you believe she is the same character and the same age as her first appearance?!

Absolutely bewildering.

Older animation aside from better [female] character design was also appeasing. Unlike what we get now.

Don’t even get me started on the loli’s. Just what the fuck.

[nomuru2d]

You do realize that both the examples you pointed out at the end were after TIME SKIPS, right?

[bitter-badfem-harpy]

Fucking and?

What do you think every girl on earth goes from being a 15yo teenager to being a 17yo pornographic caricature of a woman?

[nomuru2d]

Puberty can be weird like that.

[bitter-badfem-harpy]

Puberty can be very weird! But at no time is it going to give a pubescent female the swollen and engorged breasts of a lactating mother.

[heckinstuff]

How convenient that puberty in anime seems to coincide with gigantic spherical tatas.

[trilllizard666]

you have a fuckin stylized picture of a damn womb as your profile pic and you’re a self confessed radfem, your opinion is worth like 0.000001 of a normal person’s

[such-justice-wow]

Using One Piece as an example isn’t really good to begin with lol its massively stylised from the start and idk jack shit about bleach either way at the end of the day getting bent out of shape over anime tiddies is pretty pathetic

[you-do-not-know]

Yeah and also lets not pretend that older animes didn’t have big titty bitches

[therogueprofessor]

Stuff ranging from Ghost in the Shell

Outlaw Star

Burn Up W

and, of course, Golden Boy

all were made during the 1990s. Whether you or anyone else likes them is another matter entirely, but to look back during that decade with rose-tinted glasses and claim that it was somewhat more tame (or, from the sound of it, puritanical), is to erase any and all achievements that were made on these series, and the impact they had on people’s lives. But let us assume that massive mammaries made headway after the 1990s, or whenever? So what? Are we to assume that only men like looking at (admittedly subjectively) pretty designs? Are men the only ones creating these characters? Are we going to somewhat shame any fictional character that have a body type that we do not like, which, I have been told time and again, amounts to bodyshaming women in real life? And regardless of however you answer any of those questions, would the character designs truly detract from the story that is presented?

[ranty9000]

Y'all notice how whenever people pull the “older 90s anime didn’t focus on sexing up teenage girls” shtick they conveniently ignore sailor moon, a very popular series in the 90s that involved high schoolers and intentionally explored risque sexual themes including gay and lesbian relationships and crossdressers at a young age? The series that had THAT transformation scene every episode?

Yeah it’s kinda weird how this series is ignored, or if it’s not they’d say this one was okay because progressiveness? That’s just a prediction on my part though.

[fandomsandfeminism]

Sailor moon was one of the specific examples the OP used.

And the being gay isnt a “risque” theme, and isnt the same as hyper sexualizing minors.

Also the transformation?

This transformation? You think this is sexually objectifying?

[royce-kordem]

Also, I believe part OPs point was back in the 90s the oversexualization of women/teenage girls was rare enough to not worth mentioning but anime now a days has it everywhere.

[fandomsandfeminism]

And look, all those examples above are of ADULT characters. And the conversation about objectifying ADULT characters is and should be a VERY DIFFERENT conversation than objectifying underage characters.

Bitch when I tell you he was my first anime daddy 😍😍

Like I don’t think y’all understand what I mean

Sesshomaru knew he couldn’t be fucked with when it came to showing up and out

I mean look at how his ass leaves a scene

He just screams bad bitch and big dick energy

And while we’re on the subject can we please admire that fucking custom made chinchilla fur bitch

I just know that shit was soft and warm asf

And no matter the fight that bitch never got a speck of dirt on it

I didn’t give not a fuck that he didn’t like humans either I was still happy asf to see him show up

He made an exception for Rin’s ass so why not me

Every time he came through I knew a fight was bout to break out

That’s because his mouth too slick and Inuyasha was always ready to run somebody they fade

Do y’all see that fucking smirk

This nigga knows Inuyasha not on his level yet

In conclusion I will bust it wide the fuck open for Sesshomaru anytime anyplace and not give one fuck about it

I might start doing these for different characters I don’t know yet, but if you liked this one let ya girl know

Baby-Doll Batman: The Animated Series

[twostriptechnicolor]

This is one criminally underrated Batman villain.

[muchymozzarella]

SERIOUSLY THOUGH SHE WAS MY FAVORITE BATMAN VILLAIN

Her physical condition didn’t allow her to age

No one took her seriously as an actress

And even when she was trying to get into a happy romantic relationship (albeit with another villain) he still couldn’t take her seriously as a consenting, sexually active and romantically interested adult

That’s a lot of blows to someone’s psyche 

and Babydoll is both a sympathetic villain and a formidable one

[barnabasdeimos]

I remember this episode fucked me up a a kid. 

[darkslover]

And man, do I wish we could see this Batman again: the Batman that consoles his villains, because the majority (if not all) of them are mentally ill people. And Batman knows this and wants them healthy again, not punished and GOD definitely not dead.

[poppypicklesticks-blog]

Baby Doll is so underrated as a Batman villain 

but her episode was perfect 

[wolvensnothere]

Batman: The Animated Series The story of one fucked up, traumatized little boy, doing his best to help other fucked up traumatized people.

[absentlyabbie]

#this show is the only batcanon that matters to me #dc can burn everything else down but they’ll never pry the dcau from cold dead clawed hands

[albawrites-deactivated20230805]

The Batman that cares about the inmates is my favorite. He doesn’t put up with their shit, but he does try to reach out here and there and he’s as human as he can be to them.

When Harley was re-institutionalized, he got her that dress she wanted.

In the comics based on B:tAS, there was a time during Christmas that there was snow and it was Mr. Freeze’s fault, and he was making it snow because Christmas was his anniversary with Nora and she LOVED it when it snowed on Christmas, so Batman let him finish mourning before calmly taking him back to Arkham.

He never, ever gives up on Harvey possibly recovering.

Sure, Batman is going to throw punches and do what it takes to take these guys down when they’re hurting or threatening people. And he’s not going be a complete bleeding heart; he has to protect the innocent. He’s going to take them down and take them back to Arkham, but it doesn’t mean he’s incapable of being a bit human to the ones who deserve it.

[hoku-san]

Batman needs become human again

[wetwareproblem]

Because it needs to be here:

[lehrastar-deactivated20250708]

[eric-coldfire]

Remember that time a young girl with near god-like psychic powers threatened to destroy reality and the only one that could stop her was Batman because he had a previous encounter with her and was tasked with killing her to restore reality.

But instead, Batman sat with her on a swing and kept her company as the girl’s psychic powers slowly killed her.

No?
