Maybe you don't realize it, but we're on the same side.

Japanese entertainment isn't In Your Dumb Face about things unlike western entertainment, it respects your intelligence and sheer common sense. You're not being talked down to, your ability to just pick another (better) product to be entertained with and walk away is respected; and it's an escape from the rest of the world shouting at you about something.

I wouldn't make the pedestal too high. There's plenty of very disturbing, low-brow stuff published in Japan.
