How is chasing dreams irrational? The entire Otaku culture is based around the fact that this world is boring and rotten. Dreams are necessary to not turn into a blind office zombie. A human without a dream is as dead as one under the earth.

They promote sexism (both explicit and implicit) and equating heroism with masculinity.

I probably wouldn't be struggling in adulthood if I watched more shonen.

The USA went down this path once.
It led to the creation of the Comics Code Authority, idiotic content regulation and practices that gutted the whole publishing landscap of the time making way for Marvel, DC and the direct comic store market to lap up the remains.
