Yeah, I think people are just tired of talking about it.
I mean, you've seen the amount of fanservice in anime. Dating sim type games with cardboard-cutout characters. Stereotypes. Usually people talk about ladies, but it's out there for men, too.
I mean, anime is just another form of media. The story is portrays is gonna have objectification from the creator's biases and pandering to the audience. It's pretty obvious in anime, though.
Yeah, to be honest, I'm a little jaded when it comes to how objectified characters are. I care more about the story and the character development, or how many laughs I can get out of it. For example, I liked Panty and Stocking for making fun of stereotypes, and MM for having weird (albeit totally objectified) characters. I'm drawing a blank for a series I disliked for objectification, but I do dislike it when a female lead arbitrarily needs to be saved by a male lead, like in Princess Knight.
I dunno, does it bother you a lot? I kinda just treat it like a trope, tbh. Are there any series you stopped watching because of it? I know I have, but I'm seriously drawing a blank.
