Marching into another’s beliefs lead by some religion’s symbol offends me too.
Not sure where (or if) you decided that was the point. AFAIK...and I think I have enough passing familiarity with the Pubbies to know... religious belief is not necessarily the primary objection to Manga/Anime excesses. One doesn't have to have a belief in an absolute authority to object to empathetically repellent actions.

Again, there are cultural differences which seem to defy our understanding, and yet when you consider things like industrial slaughter houses, meat farms, puppy mills, brothels, economic slavery and assorted institutionalized abuses worldwide, it seems to be matter of custom rather than ethics.

As much as you wonder why some of us "dwell" on such things, some of us wonder why others don't. smiley: wink
