Comment on Is there a community dedicated to anime where sexualization of characters is minimum and strictly no sexualization of minors (or minor looking "adults")?

Faye/Cowboy Bebop to actually be on the more sexualized side.

Fair, I haven’t watched it in a long time, but by checking again I agree. At least her identity and design are clearly adult and she’s a strong core character, not just fan service. To be clear I am not in favor of zero sexuality, it’s part of human culture and it can be intelligently used for the scenario. My problem is when it becomes a creepy commercial trope that feeds social issues, especially for minor looking characters.

From what I saw, Kill La Kill crosses the border too much for me. She’s fully sexualized and she is a 17 year old minor. I don’t think the parody label dismissed the issue. It wouldn’t cost much to make her an adult, so why didn’t they? The scenario would be ruined, or the creepy commercial trope would get weaker?
I don’t know the other ones.
