    like 99% of animes? yea

    i mean it’s embarassing to even recommend a majority of animes, because of how absurdly they portray women and how excessive/creepy they are with the fan service. it’s hard to even watch when the characters are just completely objectified and the creators go out of their way to overly sexualize them. it’s just completely normalized in the anime community and it’s disappointing to say the least – it definitely doesn’t help the image of people who say they like anime, it’s why even a lot of mega weebs won’t be caught saying they like anime as a genre. just the concept and extent of waifu culture in anime communities is icky…

    as for non-anime, i think shows which aren’t like that are a lot more common, like the first animated shows i can think of are things like king of the hill, avatar, boondocks, regular show, south park, etc. they generally aren’t as bad with objectifying women (but there are definitely some that do it really badly, don’t get me wrong)
