If cartoons trigger you, I suppose you may have a problem with oversexualising media. They r just drawings, when I read mangas as a kid I never thought and I still dont think about them that way. Why not notice the cute monsters? or cute dress? Some body proportions are comical, the eyes are drawn to portray emotions in a cute or exaggerated way. There may be a drawing or two that you might call fan-service, but not everyone looks at these cartoons and thinks that this material is for sex predators all the time. In asia not everyone is so triggered or oversexualising everything. Where is the innocence in people? have we lost the ability to look at things differently?
You seem awfully invested in this. I don’t recall using the phrase “triggered“. I believe I said “a bit queasy“.
I think it says more about you that you see something sexualised in those covers.

Do you also see something sexualized in the way Lisa Simpson is dressed? You know, a strapless dress exposing her shoulder and upper chest?
I don’t know who Lisa Simpson is sorry

The cultural norms there are very different in some areas.
How does that protect it from criticism, let alone mean that one should not voice their disquiet about its effect on them? I live in Japan and I think it's a disgrace how much of this stuff is around.
