I think this article does a good job covering the hypersexualization of Japanese women and young girls.

The problem is less something inherently wrong with the anime style and more a conscious choice that is made in the anime industry. I think the issue gets illustrated by two quick googles and some scrolling.
anime women
anime old women
Excluding the elderly women, your partner's age group would probably be better represented by the middle aged women depicted in the second search. Anime isn't inherently about hypersexualizing women and young girls, but a lot of anime studios have made that decision in their animes as part of catering to a male audience.
You know, an easier way to slove this is to ask what the general public will think, if the answer is pedo shit, you got it
Like do a poll? Or just assume I know what other people think? We should hold the anime studios to account since they create the content rather than blaming it on Japanese culture. Any culture can hypersexualize people.
You are thinking too hard about this, but if you want you can do a real life poll in your area, the internet is misleading
What do you mean? I think we should hold corporations accountable.
I'm good.
