Anime is bad for the soul
This is a cartoon and therefore not a sentient being. It is unable to give consent to sexual or otherwise romantic relations. Furthermore, it is unable to feel such emotions associated with sexual acts, romanticism, and friendship. It is a lie; a character drawn with deceit. I'll explain: Now, while the character has been drawn in an art style that can be described as "cute," we must remember that it was purposely drawn in such a way to evoke specific emotions from the onlooker, such as longing, warmth, sexual feelings, and a desire for companionship... at least on the surface. The reality of this character, however, is much darker as one dives deeper into analysis. What this character really does is remind you of things. It reminds you of your desire for companionship. Your desire for a loving girlfriend. Your desire for physical contact. Your desire just to be touched in a way that makes you feel wanted. It reminds you that you have none of these things, and are left wanting. This drawing is preying on your fear. Your fear of missing out and never obtaining a partner is one of the most powerful emotions one can experience: fear of being alone, forever. This character appears cute and harmless on the surface, but in reality, it represents your greatest fear, loneliness. It is a wolf in sheep's clothing, distributed among the population entrapping every onlooker who gazes for too long. We must reject the anime menace, conquer our fears, and stay on the Straight and Narrow Path towards the light. Give careful thoughts to the paths of your feet, and be steadfast in all your ways. Look neither to the right nor the left, and keep your mind from evil. tl;dr anime is cucking you
