Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Try https://everythingmoe.com/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

I haven't watched a lot of those but can I ask is this really a Shounen thing or just a media made for children thing? Like, Hunger Games, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, DC Comics and their sidekicks, etc. Content that is made for children star children. And yes, while many adults may watch it a lot of anime is made for children/teens.
Probably has a lot to do with it, yeah. I don't really watch shounen anymore. Kinda want to see if the new Jojo is any good, but that's about it. You just made me realise the only anime I've actively sort out recent years is Dungeon Meshi, so maybe I'm probably not the best to have an opinion on the trope lol
I don't know what that is so I'll just agree with your assessment lol
It was serialized in a seinen magazine so it was targeting young adults. FWIW I think you're generally correct re: children's media starring children thing.
Oh right, I didn't answer you properly, sorry. I should have said:
Yes, those were all kids anime I named, and now that I think about it other media aimed at around the same demographic has similar tropes, so I think you're right.
