Do you think anime is sexist?

Thu Aug 6, 2009, 6:11 AM
Alright I just came into mind with this because I was looking up ways on how to draw anime and stuff to learn something new with the whole drawing concept.
Then I came across this forum of people who said anime is stupid and awesome and so on.
but personally I dont like anime. Neither do I hate it because I dont know about it that much to judge.
But while on my search on the web to draw anime and all that stuff, I found a website that teaches how to draw but I left..... And I left because, well although i'm a male
I cant say I approve of the whole "anime art style" that much because of the over-drawn woman in these anime shows or drawings. I have a huge respect for woman and I dont like the sight of disrespect towards a gender. But what I saw were large breasted woman and to me, it looked unnatural and sexist in my opinon of mind and what I saw in those drawings just made me mad and offended because in a way it really degrades woman by showing that stuff and i'm sure it leaves alot in a womans mind to think that all guys care about are large breasted woman and I dont by the way because I prefer a smart, kind and very strong woman who has the potential to be a leader. To me large breast anime only show that the artist only thinks that the only value of a woman is her breast and that is what drives me off to anger. But before you quote me on anything, I would like to point out that there are some animations I do like. Which isn't really alot but still.
I prefer Avatar the last airbender and G-Gundam and as far as I know there is nobody who has never seen Dragon ball Z and I haven't seen any large breasted woman in any of these shows so that's out of the question. But back to the question because I want some answers on this topic. Do you think anime is sexist?
If so how would you make a change and what improvements would you make?
If not then please explain why you dont think anime is sexist.

My name is Cameron Grey and i'm new to deviant art. And i'm a huge Sonic the hedgehog fan and I love to draw him, as well as the other Sonic characters. I dont like to draw in colors because I can barely see most colors but I focus on black and white because those two colors alone are beautiful through my mind. Anyway I spend alot of time on myspace and facebook so hit me up. My email is camjgrey@yahoo.com
