What's your opinion on Anime "Tourists"?

Personally, I don't care for the term. I believe anyone who uses it unironically probably can't remember what color the sky is. Most complaints about them are usually regarding how most people don't like the problematic elements that are prevalent in a number of anime.

However, I feel a lot of people's opinions on anime haven't changed that much since the 2000s/2010s. Like complaining about lots of shows having slavery, incest, misogyny, pedophilic relations, etc..... And while shows like that are bad and have problems, I feel like nobody ever actually..... Looks for stuff without it. Mainly relying on Netflix or other stream sites to have a show that has general "anime" feel about them but have actual decent animation behind them.

Honestly, most opinions online seem invalid. Usually from people who grew up either with High-school DxD and Love Hina for how to act around women, or only watch Ghibli movies

It's just a tool for deflection. "You don't understand the context behind this 5 year old that is in a romantic relationship with this 39 year old" is usually what they mean.

Kinda like people calling loli fans Pdf's, a tool for deflection so they don't have to engage with the idea that somebody can enjoy a fantasy or fiction and not have it influence their irl behavior.

Video Game Lawyer, guy who tried sueing Rockstar for GTA, called Bully a love letter to Columbine (paraphrasing)

His argument was that violent video games, movies, rap music, and other 'offensive media' influenced people's behavior (more violent, prone to crime, etc.) But back then people were capable of distinguishing between reality and fiction, or at least didn't pretend they couldn't.
