    And no child soldier business. Kids don’t need to be going to war

      Do you think movies shouldn’t depict the human cost of war either?

        I just don’t want to watch another anime about the chosen child having to go to battle when adults are around and can do it for them. Old people sitting around while a bunch of 12yo are going on a world saving “adventure”.

        You can consume whatever media you like, I prefer not having this in mine.

        This is kind of an odd comment onin a thread about things that exist in reality that we don’t want to see…

          I think theres a disconnect here, Im talking about Gundam and others where 12 year olds being subjected to war is an unambiguously bad thing, leaving the “chosen one” and their friends dead or mentally scarred.

            Yeah I don’t want to watch while like that. I’ll watch the Gundam series’ without the kid pilots. While well done, I just don’t need children to be used like that. Heck even with Friren I was kind of annoyed that Fern and what’s his face were kids. Fern grows up and is 18 a bit into it but still…

            I just don’t consume much media for the moral lesson or the tough ethical dilemma questions anymore. I just want to have a good time with what little time I do have for it.
