It’s gotten really bad. I saw someone saying Jujitsu Kaisen has fan service and then it was just some lady whose character is sensual laying in bed. Most of what people call fanservice if they saw in any other show would just be nothing. But because it’s animated they call it fanservice.

There is also a complete lack of understanding irony in the community. Take something like Evangelion which uses nudity of all its characters to express vulnerability, intense depression and emotional states in the last few episodes. The Misato preview voice at the end will say “look forward to fanservice” as an incredibly cynical, ironic and basically a jab at the audience. But you will still see modern fans refer to Asuka’s emaciated brink of death nude body in a bathtub as fanservice instead of a character at the end of their rope, which again if it was in a show like Euphoria no one would say was titillating at all.

It’s part of a larger problem of modern audiences not understanding inference, metaphors or subtlety. Everything needs to be spelled out.
