Unrecommendable anime traits

[shinta|hikari]

The slippery slope thing? I don't think that preventing people from expanding their worldview and being more accepting of other people's preference because it might (?) increase the risk of them doing something is illegal is the right way to go.

Just because someone likes something different from the majority does not mean they will start victimizing others because of it. A lot of people imagine hitting their boss or some jerk but they don't do it. The proper way to control and educate should be just that, making people understand it is okay to like whatever you want, but not to the extent of doing something that victimizes others (I don't want to say hurt because people hurt each other all the time, and I don't want to say illegal, because some laws make no sense).

Back on topic, I don't know how much anime you guys watch, but I'm curious what tropes or themes actual anime fans still find unsettling. I ask this because I think I have reached a point where I don't mind anything that would usually shock or turn off others. Don't get me wrong, I still hate some tropes, but that is usually because of over saturation, rather than lack of immunity.

- Fulfilled incestual relationships. One-sided ones are fine, even implied is okay, but when the series ends and the two siblings, cousins, or parent-child are post-coitus in bed...too far.
- Obviously pedophilia and the illusionary term hebephilia (Guess what? It's still pedophilia). However, this contrasts the Lolita-fetish adults where they are both adults and consensual (Konata's mother and father, various other examples) are fine. I'm actually a fan of the comedy trope where the mother or even grandmother looks ridiculously young.
- Shit like Maken-ki. Takes ecchi too far and in general is just gross. It's a very fine line between things like Queen's Blade and Qwaser (which are ultimately enjoyable) and this trash, but whatever it is that separates them makes a difference.


That would be the only things I find actively "unsettling or replusive." There are plenty of anime tropes I simply do not like and are a turn off or detrimental to the series, but they don't bother me.
