Genuinely tho, can someone tell me how? Anime character have ageless faces as the standard, even anime parodies make fun of this.
If someone drew my partner, who is a very well proportioned 5ft nada, with a generic anime style, the ageless result would look like the image in the OP. The image even has an hourglass figure. Where does the “child” idea come from?
The problem is less something inherently wrong with the anime style and more a conscious choice that is made in the anime industry. I think the issue gets illustrated by two quick googles and some scrolling.
Excluding the elderly women, your partner’s age group would probably be better represented by the middle aged women depicted in the second search. Anime isn’t inherently about hypersexualizing women and young girls, but a lot of anime studios have made that decision in their animes as part of catering to a male audience.
Like do a poll? Or just assume I know what other people think? We should hold the anime studios to account since they create the content rather than blaming it on Japanese culture. Any culture can hypersexualize people.

I think this article does a good job covering the hypersexualization of Japanese women and young girls.

You know, an easier way to slove this is to ask what the general public will think, if the answer is pedo shit, you got it

You are thinking too hard about this, but if you want you can do a real life poll in your area, the internet is misleading
What do you mean? I think we should hold corporations accountable.
I’m good.
Because anime is all about sexualising children? You never noticed?
Literally missed the point 🤦♀️
