>they do it to prevent men from going to war, raping, pillaging etc
No, they do it because the manga/anime industry became too big andprofitable to risk losing bilions upon bilions of Yen for declining sales without giving shareholders an heart attack, so they must appeal as much people as possible, and thus you have editors who force authors to write shit that doesn't alienate women, people of any political orientation, or whatever the marketing division said to them was "of utmost importance".
If tomorrow some market research discovered that showing Nazi raping mermaids would boost sales you would find Nazi raping mermaids forcibly inserted into a lot of manga storylines
