i think the fetishist anime is what helped accelerate this issue. there are so many good anime before the current high school fixation that we see today. hell, you still get gems here and there! it's sad that the industry has turned it's face to the most extreme consumers who will spend anything and everything for their waifus.

Regardless of whether they're fetishistic or not (and I'm not saying there aren't fetish anime because there definitely is), but something as unfetishistic as My Little Pony had a massive male following and was fetishised to kingdom come. Things don't have to be inherently sexual to be sexualised. These guys will fetishise anything.

sad but true. My Little Pony is that reminder that anything innocent is not off limits.
