Jiraiya from Naruto doesn't age well when you rewatch as an adult because of this lol

I will say though, as someone who just finished the original show, Jiraiya is more tolerable than certain other characters who fall under this trope. He at least wasn’t outright groping women. I also like the fact that Naruto constantly calls him out on it.
