      It’s a great show but Winry does wear unnecessarily revealing clothes. I guess a big deal isn’t made out of it. The one that’s a major omission is Spy X Family actually

          She was specifically drawn that way, it’s not like it was an accident. I acknowledge in her case it’s subjective though because I can’t remember any gratuitous angles and they don’t really focus on it.

            You … DO realize that kind of judgement is merely a slightly more benign version of the same misogyny as the, “look what she was wearing! She was asking for it” type of thinking, right…? You realize at least some women choose to look pretty without wanting to be oggled or abused, right?

              Women with large breasts and slim frames just exist as human beings in reality, but when it’s drawn in anime it’s a choice. Having the “camera” focus on upskirt shots or side boob is a choice. Animating boob bounce is a choice. So a 15 year old depicted in micro skirts and a bandeau, that has a bath scene and a scene where she takes her top off is a choice. This is in the context of a thread talking about anime sexualizing minors. If Winry was a living, breathing girl, she could make those choices herself, in the privacy of her own life, but this is an anime character where she was specifically drawn that way in an industry that is overwhelmingly male dominated. FMA:B IS a very good show, and Winry is a real character with actual traits and a personality, but pretending that all of these design and story decisions weren’t made on purpose by people who almost certainly were adult men is naive.

                You do realize that kind of jaded opinion on art is akin to the prudish teachings of religion, right?

                A pretty lady choosing to show some cleavage doesn’t magically make it OK to SA them simply because they made a choice you disagree with… They CHOSE to go in to public like that, not unlike how an artist CHOOSES to present their art.

                Yes, it is not exactly the same, but ideological associations do not have to be literally equivalent to never the less have strong similar tendencies.

                If you’re against even fantasy being sexy, I’d hate to hear what you’d think of a sexy reality…

                  I’m against 15 year olds being depicted as sexy in media developed by adult men, yes.

                    Congratulations, so am I? What I said is applicable to FAR more than Japan having low age of concent laws and media reflecting that…

                    You seem to want to miss the point, so have fun being a bigoted shit that only contributes to the problems you whine about…
