But I'm getting tired of how they always use the chicks like this. We get it. They're older. They look hot. Don't beat us over the head with it. Just because I'm an older guy who's attracted to images like these doesn't mean this is all I wanna see. Sorry if I'm complaining about nothing but it just got to me for some reason.

There's been less than half a dozen images, almost all from what are effectively promotional images in magazines. Plenty of these promotional magazine images have been generic nonsense without the girls being used 'like this' as you put it.

Honestly, I feel the same way, but that's just how Japan is now. They push sexy anime characters more than ever (and more recently, even males). I'm not saying the US isn't guilty, too--our media is rampant, but yeah... it's annoying, but let the female-attracted fans have their cake, I guess.

I also think another issue is that for the most part these characters were almost always portrayed as young kids. Seeing them as older, mature teens with bodies that any super model would kill for, is kind of... weird.No matter whatever issues that any of us may have on fanservice and sexualization in general, none of us cannot deny that sex sells and will always sell. It's only natural for any product to portray there characters as perfect as possible so that they would appear more appealing to audiences.However there is some characters I wouldn't really want to see... "sexy", and the Digimon kids are borderline on that list. While I certainly appreciate that the series almost takes an almost opposite approach than what Pokemon ultimately ended up doing, which was to allow there characters's to age and change, the majority of their stories was of them as kids. Personally I have a hard time adjusting to the fact that any of the characters, both male and female, can be seen as "sexy".
