This is something I've mentioned before here, and I'll rewrite the question a bit.

Generally, there seems to be two ends of the hardcore Japanese otaku spectrum (obviously the males and females) where they're into moe and/or ecchi fanservice or boys-love. Does anyone find it egregious how the former fandom consists of liking mostly girls where the relationships is either straight or in the tricky, ambiguous Class S relationship (sometimes the girls play off lesbian antics just because "girl-on-girl is hot") while the latter fandom where they like all guys being really lustful and loving to other guys?

You would think there will be a fandom of equal ranking of popularity and directly opposite of either moe/ecchi fanservice or boys love.

Has it occurred to you that you are watching a profit-driven entertainment media? And that there could be a difference between that and pursuing a post-grad psychology degree?

Add to that that many of the producers of anime are mediocre at best on the creativity scale. Add to that the 90% rule.

If you are researching a term report, make sure of your data set. Otherwise here is a resolution for you: watch what you like to watch and ignore the rest.

Sasameki Koto is the best girls love anime I've seen so far. Sadly, only 13 episodes (here's hoping for season 2!)

I think you said this:

In the past people like seeing girls displayed as sluts.

In the present people like seeing "gay" anime.

What's your opinion and is this change in taste offensive?

Again idk I think thats what you said.

My opinion:

Um I don't care and I believe presently people like seeing women act like very submissive dependent sluts in their anime. Heh what I see. Hardly you see strong independent females in anime.

If I didn't answer your question its because I don't get quite what ur saying and I'm bored.
