I like anime, but I have a problem with it

I like anime for the way it can explore crazier concepts and situations than western shows and live action can. But anime likes big boobs. I find them unpleasant.

I guess it’s a personal problem. It’s not that I have a problem with real people who have big breasts as long as I don’t have to see them, but anime characters will have them just out with tight clothes and massive cleavage. When an anime character has large breasts, it’s all I can see, and I find it very unpleasant. I automatically think less of the character and the show, and am disappointed that it’s sacrificing the story and what may otherwise be a good character for fanservice.

I’ve been enjoying Sonny Boy this season. It’s about a bunch of students and their school drifting through different dimensions and developing crazy superpowers. First they’re in a black void, then a tropical island in an ocean that extends forever in all directions. It’s weird and crazy and has a nice art style and movement and I love it. I was glad there were no excessively sexualized characters. But then at the end of episode 4 a teacher with massive breasts and lots of cleavage shows up, and I felt myself deflate. I can only hope it doesn’t effect my enjoyment of the next episode.

Anyone else have something like this happen?

And this is why it’s so difficult dating as an asexual. I get messages like THIS. Sir my profile says I’m asexual 🤦🏻‍♀️

I hate that Reddit is so horny all the time.

Every second post on popular seems to be about sex nowdays and every dumb story that mentiones sex has thousands of upvotes, I don't get it. Even the most popular questions on r/askreddit are about sex. Every. Single. Time. It drives me nuts (no pun intended). This is my second account on Reddit and I honestly think about deleting it again, since I usually don't like joining certain sub-reddits (since most posts don't interest me anyway) and popular is my go-to-place.
It kinda makes me sad (and uncomfortable) and I wish there was a setting that will hide any nsfw posts from me. Maybe there is? Does a setting like this exist?! PLS SAY YES.

Much older women aggressively hit on me often at special events and I'm tired of no one ever taking me seriously when I complain.

New-ish account for this for personal reasons. For reference, I'm a cis guy in my early 30s.

Whenever I'm at a special event where I have to dress up, there's always one or two older women who'll spend as much time commenting on my body, getting close to me, asking me to dance, touch me, etc as possible. The last thing I was at a lady kept asking me about my "type", if I was a virgin, what my favorite sexual acts were, etc. I had known her for all of 5 minutes. Other events I've worked at in the past had women following me from room to room "interviewing" me about random things while commenting on my legs and chest. I'm not even fit, but I'm naturally very stocky.

Complaining is pointless because whenever I do, I'm told to suck it up, man up, or whatever. That as a man I'm supposed to love this kind of attention, that it's every guy's dream to have a MILF interested in them, that I shouldn't feel threatened because of my gender and appearance and that it could've been worse. Or, that it's a cute thing older people do so just go along with it. Friends I vent to as this is happening in real time push me and the other person together, tell me to go find them, or seek them out and literally pull us together.

I feel crazy when I say this but it makes me afraid to be at certain events, or hang out with certain family members because of how consistently this happens and how it long it effects me.

I'm just so damn sick of being sexualized and objectified. I hate it so much and wish it could all go away, that I could go to these events and not want to throw up from the anxiety of waiting for it to happen eventually. It makes me sick to my stomach being objectified this way, it bugs me for days and days and days, and I feel lost with nowhere to go and no one to talk to about it. I deal with this regularly in my chosen career and this is among the reasons why I'm changing careers without knowing exactly what I want to do.
