I think it's the mainstream-ness of anime and manga that's an issue. Kinda breaks my heart to see some light novels get incredibly high budget animation, marketing campaigns, and top tier VA talent get imported over, and find out that the story is pretty much porn about wanting to fuck your little sister. Or like in the case of GATE and multiple other light novelists, the writer loves to drop dog whistles about how much they love certain IRL genocides.

Being an anime fan incurs being disappointed by certain aspects that go into the creation of anime, whether it's the mangaka themselves, or maybe certain aspects of Japanese culture that are misogynistic and maybe affect depictions of female characters.

Except for the unfortunately common strain of anime fans who unironically love all the loli, ahegao pfps, and rape, and are responsible for the meme of a person with an anime pfp being 80% likely to call you a slur. 4channers, I guess?

Anime fandom has its certain discussion points. Don't normalize certain anime tropes. Dont be a weeaboo who thinks that all Japanese people love anime. Etc. I don't care what noncon happens in a fic on ao3, but it's different when it's a mainstream production. Like hello? No one wants to talk about all the rape and lolicon incest in a show that's not labeled as porn? This is the anime of the year material? This? We're giving money to this author?

Tl;dr, sorry for the rambling response. When mainstream shows say its cool to be into sniffing your little sister's undies, I'll complain a tiny bit. Western media fandoms doesn't have this problem so much.

I feel like most of the "mainstream" anime you're talking about actually air late at night. Truly mainstream stuff is like Demon Slayer or One Piece or Pokemon. How well something's animated isn't necessarily indicative of how many people are expected to see it, and it's apparent popularity online isn't the best indicator either.

I'm not denying those kinds of anime exist, because of course they do, but you are vastly overstating their popularity. Or simply running in the wrong circles, if that's all you're seeing.

Source: I've been a massive weeb for years and manage to avoid all that gross shit with absolutely zero effort.

I think I understand the mistake you're making. Your exposure to anime where sniffing your little sister's underwear is equal to your exposure to anime about pirates looking for a mythical treasure or kids killing demons because all those anime can be accessed by you on Crunchyroll with the same amount of ease. In Japan, anime actually airs on TV on the channels and timeslots that are tailored to their intended audience. The amount of people who will seek an anime airing at 1 AM on a cable channel because it has loli siscon is MASSIVELY dwarfed by the amount of people who will watch Pokemon during the day on a weekend. When you make small talk, anime sometimes comes up, and nobody drops the titles of loli siscon anime. They ask if you've seen the new Kimetsu no Yaiba movie and if you remember Naruto and stuff like that. What you're saying is the anime equivalent of thinking porn you have to pay to watch on the internet is as mainstream as the MCU.
