Anime encourages pedophilia.
"Lolicon" and "lolis" are things often discussed and fantasized about by anime fans. Lolicon is a portmanteau of "Lolita complex," a Japanese expression meaning pedophile attracted to underage girls. The alternate is shotacon, which is the same but with underage boys. Many anime fans call themselves lolicons and masturbate to lolicon anime and manga under the assumption that it isn't child porn. Many non-hentai anime even feature children with erotic undertones. The popular Monogatari franchise is an example; they started with one "loli" character, and her popularity led to them introducing more similar characters and increasing the sexual undertones surrounding those characters. The randoseru, a backpack used by Japanese elementary school children, has been adopted by the anime community as a symbol of lolicon and a sexual symbol. They often argue that it's just anime, and not real, but as studies have shown, pornography leads to the development of new fetishes and subconsciously promotes sexual aggression and promiscuity, so the hentai IS changing them, regardless of if they believe it or not.
