i think the thing about like, the typical Cishet Anime Dude Horny is that its incredibly shallow. and so when that type of horny gets applied to something it sort of… raises whatever it touches to the same shallow depth. you see it most plainly in female characters getting reduced to cookie cutter archetypes, the exact same “big titty, small waist, big ass, vacant stare” look that they give to any woman they wanna fuck regardless of who she is or what she actually looks like. and you can also see it in how they reduce men to Chads Who Fuck and Virgins Who Don’t (there are people out there who self-insert into Jaune RWBY as some megachad who fucks hard, which i think illustrates the absurdity of this shallowness)
contrast something like dungeon meshi, which is INCREDIBLY horny, but with a huge amount of depth. dungeon meshi asks – isnt it hot, to consume, and to be consumed? here’s a hundred different ways that its hot. isnt it beautiful? isnt it horrifying? isnt it loving?
the story as a whole wouldnt work if it wasnt deeply horny for eating, and none of the characters would be the same if that horniness was taken from them. its about the depth of it. without depth of horny, it wouldnt be half as good

i could keep going but i think ive gotten the idea across
if i may add
Learning today that a lot of people seeming don’t understand non-(explicitly)sexual eroticism, or have a very narrow view of what constitutes erotic.
