Anime tourists really think that their "criticism" is worth any value.

// My issue is that some people won't let you point out its problematic elements.

Yeah, because your "point" is worthless. Oh no. Rudeus steals panties and enshrines them as a holy relic. That's "problematic." In other news, Kyubey is a literal monster that preys on the hopes and dreams of children. You have contributed nothing with that "criticism" other than "I don't find this comfortable." That's why people tell you to shut up. You're making your personal discomfort everyone else's problems.

// Or how the author sometimes attempts to normalize them.

Oh, you want to talk about something being normalized in anime. How about teenagers being put in constant danger or trained to go to war against threats beyond their comprehension? We watch them for our own personal amusement. We see them die in horrific fashion. We watch them seeing their friends die and their loved ones on the verge of dying. We even see children being cruel, relentlessly abused, emotionally manipulating one another for their own personal gain even at the cost of other children's lives while they're being so callous about it.

These same children and teenagers are fighting against literal demons, dying horrifically in the process. These are not only normalized. They are commercialized. They break box office records: The relentless suffering of all these teenagers for the sake of people's entertainment and profits to the big corporations, but no. We are drawing the line on high schooler Marin Kitagawa wearing sexy cosplays. That's just way too far, right?

// You guys need to realize that criticism doesn't make you a bad fan.

No, you're a bad fan for calling other fans child predators. Again, that is not criticism.

// It just means you care enough to think critically about the media you consume.

"Think critically." There is no critical thinking involved in calling others child predators for liking sexy anime characters. It's moral outrage. Plain and simple.
