Sadly, morality has no saying in the process of evolution. An individual is born because his/her ancestors wanted to have children and were good enough at it. That's all. Regarding this aspect, among all the mindsets, 'love yourself the way you are' is not exactly the best one in getting yourself laid.

However, the progress of society seems to make each individual have same-ish numbers of descendants, leading to a flatter distribution in many variables than a Zipfian one (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf%27s_law) forged by fierce battle of survival.

Just less than 10 generations ago, one still need to be somehow gifted to survive - at least you need to battle bacteria on your own. On an evolution viewpoint, the diversification of ideas, including sense of value, is just beginning in a handful of regions over the globe. Give it more time.

For the time being, having a bottomless supply of cute virtual girl actors that would do anything to please the audience, anime and manga industry would continue to fulfill the fantasies that real actors can't or won't. Bad name? Sure. Problem? Maybe. Then try to fix it? Nah, maybe just give it time.
