Here's a choice quote
Or a poorly executed joke.
Well, that didn't take long.
The thread title also changes "sexual intimacy" to "sexually explicit"
I mean, I feel like making Shinkai's works more about sex would be completely missing the point of what they're trying to do and why they work
I mean how else would you describe a boy reaching for a girl's crotch though
ignoring perhaps that Shinkai's protagonists are still in middle school sometimes. His priorities are insane.
As a joke you clearly didn't get was a joke. His point is just reeling against these weirdly innocent romances. Yeah, it might not make sense in all of Shinkai's movies, but it definitely is a thing in anime
Fraw Bow had the 3 kids taking a shower. They're all naked, if I remember. Little boys point out little girl is flat chested and doesn't have boobs like Fraw Bow.

This is like calling Goku's naked scenes in DB and DBGT as a kid sexualized...yeah it's kind of weird, but clearly isn't meant to be sexual
It reads like he wants more sex in general, not necessarily explicit sex scenes. He phrased it in a really vulgar and inappropriate way though.
Uhh...that is not sexualization. Now the kids being naked is unnecessary, but the scene itself is not sexual.
