    Is the Animé a flavour of “thicc girl encourages perversions of socially awkward horny boy”? Because that’s so blasé; it’s overused.

      Not really. Guy in the bottom picture is a minor character. The show largely centers around a dragon girl (not the one pictured) who arrives at the human world injured, gets saved by another girl who works as a programmer, and then moves in as her maid out of gratitude. Dragon girl falls in love with programmer girl due to the kindness she shows her.

      Surprisingly no. Those 2 depicted are just side characters and actually have a somewhat healthy relationship. And the main cast is generally not that sexualized.

      To be clear, the issue you point out does exist, just not with these 2 specific characters.

        Sources? Have googled a bit and couldn’t find anything that paints the artist as a pedo.

        I mean apart from the depiction of the characters, which is really weak as a confirmation of anything, seeing as a lot of Japanse works have the same questionable aesthetics.

              Im assuming by that you mean ‘if the people took issue with it’, not ‘if there was a cultural problem of pedo shit’ (not trying to argue semantics, I do agree that there is 100% a cultural problem with normalising that kind of thing)

              I’m only taking issue with you generalising a >120 MILLION population and labelling them as pedos
