Example: It might sound like an unpopular opinion, but movies make me uncomfortable. The Incredibles is a film everyone loves that I don’t despite the massive success and praise.

The Amazing World of Gumball is a series I despise too, but I think we can all agree on that.

Anime, the sexualization in it is very uncomfortable to suffer through along with the cringe cliches

I used to like anime and I'm sure there's plenty of series I still enjoy but there was a specific moment that made me stop watching it completely...

My niece loved playing around with those silly Snapchat filters and I clicked on the anime one. Her reaction was really funny but then it hit me...her toddler mannerisms were the same as adult characters in anime. A lot of "hot" characters in anime act like literal toddlers...and people are into that.

It really put me off.

This is a really good comment that I hope all people who make those creepy best girl posts actually go through to understand what their saying is in fact creepy

I was really surprised when it hit me. It obviously doesn't apply to all anime, just the kawaii ones

Similarly, animation aimed at adults tends to have an awful art style and/or has to "prove" that it's not for kids by being full of juvenile sex jokes and swearing

Amen.

I think discrediting all anime because of the series that do that is excessive. Anime is just a medium to tell a story, not a genre. You could even use cartoon as a synonym. Do all cartoons make you feel the same?

That said, I agree with you that the sexualization in many series is uncomfortable and I don't like it either. And I admit that lately many series (especially those aimed at teenagers) resort to this to gain views. But it's sad when someone discredits the entire medium just because of the series that do that.
