That Sailor Moon topic got me thinking....you don't really see that kinda stuff in mainstream anime anymore. I'm sure there's more niche stuff and of course manga, but a mainline title? The most we get is yuribaiting. :(

What changed?

I'm guessing the Japanese TV rating system changed? Because you're right, even a massively popular show like Yuri on Ice, whose popularity was centered around it being LGBT, still couldn't fully commit to any of it on screen like past anime was able to.

Probably because everything gets pirated to hell and back, thus licensing to some western company who's going to chop it all up anyway is the only real way to make money.

There was yes, and I think I changed because people really didn't used to care that much unless you were actually religious...now it's a political issue

In all media but it wasnt pandering it was just the story. No one cared and it was all good.
