Please. This isn't simple fanservice, it's a character being deliberately forced into a situation they HATE in a creepy and objectifying manner. This uniform is even forced on her in a scene that mirrors rape or sexual assault.

There's portrayals of women being sexual/sexy that you can 'fap' to that aren't gross. No one is saying women can't ever be sexy. But there's a difference between a woman presenting herself in such a way because she feels like it or a woman writing a woman presenting herself in that way because she feels like it, and objectification.

Ryuko is shoved in a uniform she hates and has to 'accept it' or it won't even work. She's ogled by creepy dudes repeatedly and the narrative treats it as funny. There are sexual assault jokes.

It's a similar problem to many 'panty shots' in anime. The character is often embarrassed/humiliated/upset by it. They're not in control of the situation. And if you need women, fictional or otherwise, to be forced into sexualized situations that they don't want to be in so you can have 'fap material' than frankly that's indicative of a problem and a creepy power fantasy that you have, and it should not be something media promotes.

Relax, it's just Chinese cartoons.

Don't bother responding to them. They have the stink of 4chan all over them and they're just trying to get a rise out of people.
