Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

why would it be?
Because the feelings of the characters are less subtle (in the general case), “show don’t tell” in general isn’t practiced as much as in western works. This also applies to the themes which sometimes are spelled out instead of being left for the viewer to discover (I consider that a positive because if you have important you want to convey, why not just do it clearly). But many people consider this aspect and the general earnestness of anime childish
even if that was bad, it wouldn't be inherent to anime
nah it's just racism
anime has plenty of incredibly subtly told stories. watch utena, which is a great mix of subtle and blatant with massive amounts of space for interpretation
and being unsubtle isn't bad either, sometimes it's good to watch something that has the character openly discussing the themes, like ghost in the shell or the climax of every gundam
Damn "many people" are right huh, we all know that no western media has ever been unsubtle about themes or character emotions
Anime delenda est, I guess!
