I think the reason why the MHA fandom has a vocal minority of fans who bitch about Yaoyorozu's tits is because a lot of casuals who normally don't watch anime are into this series. And thus they don't understand and are unfamiliar with how things work in anime.
Yeah, MHA is the new 'normie anime' since DBZ has become old hat.

It's funny how there's always more drama around Momo and yet no one cares about 5 or so year old Gohan getting his neck snapped.

The MHA fandom is terrible, indeed.

One Piece has a lot of normies as well but since the vast majority of female characters are 18 and older there's less bitching. Well, there is one girl who is 16. Rebecca is her name. She's not a major character or anything. Was pretty much only in one single arc. She has massive boobs and a very revealing gladiator outfit based on Red Sonja's. The thing is, she must wear such armour as punishment to get hurt more easily. A smart way by Oda to justify fanservice of her.

Weren't Goku and Gohan already super jacked when they were kids? No one seemed to care about that.

Also I don't mean to sound like an elitistic European but I can't help but notice it's mostly American fans who complain about fanservice. They have a bigger problem with fanservice and showing skin than with violence. Just because someone is not wearing a lot of clothes or is naked doesn't mean they're having sex. Seeing a naked woman on TV never traumatised me when I was a kid. Seeing someone getting their head cut by an axe would have been much more disturbing.

Yeah, Americans are always super puritan about that sort of thing. Maybe cause they're so obsessed with sex, they feel the need to see everything through a sexual lens. I don't remember a lot of hoopla about Bulma running around in her underwear or whatever back in Mexico. People just watched the show and were more concerned about power levels and whatnot than 'omg Bulma in her underwear'.

I don't remember anyone caring here either.

Didn't the US get a lot of censored anime dubs? Lie in Sailor Moon they made Neptune and Uranus cousins instead of, you know, a lesbian couple

Yep. The funny thing is, Haruka and Michiru never flat out say they're gay or lesbian or even lovers. You could just tell by the way they acted around each other and how they looked at each other.

Somehow in America making them cousins that still look like they're in love each other fixed things? It's ok if it's incest?

I swear every time I see people complaining about anime on social media it just shows that anime was never for normies. They just can't handle it. And they have no control over it. There's no one they can cancel, no one they can get fired. Japan does not give a flying **** and that's how it should be. Anime will forever be catered to Japan and their culture, Americans are ****in' lucky they get to check it out. Either take as it is, or go step off and watch the CW or something.

It's like some people don't understand that you don't have to like everything, that you don't have to force yourself to get into whatever's hot because of FOMO. If you like something, like it as it is. I mean, you're watching it aren't you? Don't try to ruin things to suit your ****ed up image of whatever you think or feel a form of media should be like. If it was so bad, you wouldn't watching it to begin with.

You do realize all of Sailor Moon was redubbed in the last few years, right? All 200 episodes, no edits, no skipped stuff, all the gay and lesbian stuff is there.

I watched the whole Viz dub of Sailor Moon a few years ago and it was great. The new voice actors all fit the characters well too.

Yeah I know. I used to own the first 2-3 seasons of the re-dub.

A shocking amount of people ( particularly men ) are defending that disturbing color page.

It feels so wrong.

You know you could just NOT read MHA, right? Seems to be an easy thing to do.

I'm mainly reading it on a sunk-cost fallacy. ( It's my only coping mechanism, unfortunately ... )

The series has been faltering for quite some time.

MHA is definitely a series that doesn't live up to its full potential.

The first couple of seasons are fine, but seasons 3, 4 and 5 have some boring and uninteresting stuff and turn of events.

It's like the series is just too safe and doesn't do a veyry good job at world building and character development like One Piece does. I'll watch the upcoming season and still find enjoyment in the franchise, but it's not a top 10 favourite of mine or anything.

That seems to happen to every big shonen anime/manga honestly.

Naruto, Bleach, etc. I heard all got repetitive and boring as it went on. I think One Piece has done fairly well from what I hear. I think the problem is these shows go on too long and don't end before they get stale.

That’s always going to be the trade off with something that is individually created vs corporate created. You’ll get that “one vision” but one creator can get locked into place. Meanwhile something like Batman can get some new blood, but ultimately those changes would mean nothing when they next new blood comes in.

Look at Savage Dragon. Used to enjoy it way back when, but everything modern about it definitely sucks.

Anime with 100+ episodes is obviously very time consuming and unless it's a show I watched as a kid I can't get into new series with that many episodes.

I haven't seen or read Naruto and Bleach. Can't say. And I'm not interested either.

One Piece is generally considered the best of the big 3 shonen. Oda doesn't just write stuff on the fly. He plans a lot ahead. Dies great World building and gives a lot of time and development to his characters. He is a very good mangaka.

Maybe not so much defending, more like indifferent cause a cartoon character isn't a big deal. It would probably have been a bigger issue if she was flat out topless on the cover, regardless of age. Like even if it was Midnight or Mr. Lady topless, it would stir **** up I'm sure.

Um ... ?

She was topless. The caution tape just covers her ... "private areas".
