Somewhat, It was a springboard for what I said.
While you say that, you have Chainsaw Man and Yuuna being published in the kids magazine...
There is a strong difference between depicting sexual assault and playing it for laughs.
But you are just reaching though!!! Wtf?!?!? So because some people have PTSD they should show people dying in manga. Because people have PTSD they shouldn't show someone getting stabbed. Because people have PTSD they should talk about or show war.
If you go by that what all the authors that publish manga depicting violence and murdering as something normal, cool or even funny look like? what all the ****** authors look like?
True.
I think most people in the anime/manga community can agree that there are a lot of tropes in anime/manga that are problematic, despite Japan having no issue with it
Problem is that you're bringing some complicated points, first, what it's okay or not isn't decided by only one person or "community", we're talking about a whole different society, culture and etc, the fact that the japanese manga community isn't as outraged or easily offended as the western one, doesn't make them insensitive or that what they think it's okay its not really okay.
Humor is a very slippery slope, as it's highly variable and subjective. I might not find sexual assault funny, but earthian number #16,450,208 might.
Remember that Shonen isn't really made for kids. Sure, adolescents are legally called children, but you have to consider there is already a demographic for manga for actual kids.
eeeeeh.
Then earthian number #16,450,208 should not be given an audience of ~2mi people (which is roughly the WSJ circulation numbers according to Wikipedia).
These kinds of boosts usually happen once so I don't see there being gigantic boosts for later Kimetsu seasons (not at this level at least)
I know, I hope, that you aren't trying to be that kind of guy but it's kind of like you are saying Japan has things wrong and they should follow the cultural rules of wherever you're from.

That's very true. Guess we'll wait and see
I am being that kind of guy. At the topic at hand I believeI know, I hope, that you aren't trying to be that kind of guy but it's kind of like you are saying Japan has things wrong and they should follow the cultural rules of wherever you're from.
Look it's disgusting but maybe let's not try to judge how good or bad it is just because of groping scenes. It might be reoccurring gag but it shouldn't affect your enjoyment of it. IF it is good. If the scenes affect you that much that is understandable as it's a personal thing but you can always skip it.

You're going for something way too problematic with the first part, that's basically what those fanatic groups do when they say that someone playing a violent video game have the tendency of, for example, shooting a school, or that some animes like Death Note induce kids to kill someone, you're making a pre judgment based on the fictional product someone is consuming, this open the door for a lot of bad stuff, and if you're talking about ****** or pornography? it's a whole different world and basically impossible to judge someone based only on that, unless of course you do what Watsuki did, a real crime.
I would never say that a culture allows people to do horrible things. There are many cultures with very questionable concepts.
Sorry Buranchi, but you're trying too hard to reach with this post, no one is saying that everything that Japan do it's "okay" or perfect but that western people thinking something isn't okay in fiction doesn't mean they're right and it's a real problem because Japan don't think the same, what you're using is a real life thing.
Again, i think discussing sex and discussing violence is two completely different things.
