Because people want entertainment and having a good time and enjoy something, having fun. Not be lectured at and get insulted for not liking something. Plus if you let activists write your stuff, it's gonna be garbage, just like what happened with Star Wars, Star Trek and Marvel Comics. They hire writers that know nothing about, or outright hate, the thing they're writing for, and boy does it show. They have no passion for what they are writing, and that's the key word, passion, plus effort. That's not to say certain in Japan has bad stuff, but at least the focus is on entertainment, not virtue signalling.
I'm probably gonna get kicked out for this, but I don't care.
I went to toku to get away from the recent western garbage in entertainment, but if they say they're getting influenced by the west, sooner or later it's going to be unwatchable, I will never accept it.
Adi?s.

You realize progressive ideas aren't purely a thing of the west, yes? Neither Inoue nor Shirakura are the sort to go against their own ideas in an attempt to appeal to a market that can't even legally watch the show. The world as a whole is changing, and people like you who are offended by the idea of a little boy liking pink are thankfully becoming a thing of the past
