While I agree that fan service is in a lot of media, you named the two sources that exhibit fan service deliberately, to the point where it’s not fan service at that point.
“Fan service” is in almost every show it’s not just an Anime thing. Euphoria had Sydney Sweeney who is only popular for her big boobs. Trash reality tv has fan service moments all the time ie Love Island. Sex sells it always has and always will

Any crime show even Law and Order SVU has fan service. Bones, Castle, etc. They literally have sex in The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. Outer Banks has an episode that went viral on social media for Sarah C’s boobs bouncing while they were running most of the episode.

Exactly 💀 that’s the equivalent of accusing an erotic anime (or a romance that intentionally toes the line) of having too much fan service, as if that weren’t the entire point. When people complain about fan service (in anime and western TV) they’re more likely referring to the moments that feel out of place. Scenes or shots that cause an, often uncomfortable, disconnect from the current action or plot.

And I’m mostly talking the fan service being girls. If I made it guys as well Tv shows are done. How many times does a ripped guy have his shirt off for no reason or they purposely show him off in the morning getting ready when that adds nothing to the shown

I don’t care at all about fan service but the people who do and make it only seem like it’s in Anime when it’s all over regular TV shows as well. The same running and tripping and falling on a girl shit they do in anime I’ve seen in regular tv shows as well. Especially crimes shows

Its because that fan service is real people so somehow it’s better to objectify and drool over them than drawn people🤷‍♂️
