Unironically, the prevalence of the skeevier tropes of anime is probably contributed to young men's problems more than anyone wants to admit. Like half of the waifus on display are textually 14 years old and the "romance" is basically sexual assault half the time
"Fix the young men" has the same air as "deradicalize the wwc" discourse from 2017-2021
In neither case are the groups in question marginal or extreme enough to be fixed. Approach needs to be finding ways to persuade and hold; the former should be made easier post-Liberation Day
I keep joking about the Great AI Boyfriend Panic of 2027 because honestly, the bar to become a better partner than the average straight guy is not high.

b) promote lesbianism in case that fails, as it usually does tbh
(Almost everything about South Korean social life sounds like distilled nightmare fuel despite being an outwardly normal, advanced democracy)
