And it's almost never something even remotely acceptable. Riza Hawkeye, I get. Misato Katsuragi, sure I guess. Literally every other character I see grown men fawn over is a 14 year old girl. Sometimes I think I picked the wrong hobby, I hate weebs so much
I think a big part of the issue is that anime is aimed at teens usually, so it writes teen characters, but then puts them in INCREDIBLY adult situations. It's easy to either overlook or ignore this character being a high school student when they're a badass knight, or princess in some other universe, ya know?
