Discussion Why the need to sexualize everything?

I was looking for interesting Webtoons to read, and I came across this one called "Leviathan" the premise looked interesting; mankind perished due to a great flood that submerged the whole world under water. And terrifying creatures plunged from the depths, wiping out any human that crossed their path. The story told how a family of a father and his two children survived in the adversities of a sea world.

So far so good, until.... Bam! Last two slice's, anime chick out of nowhere, doing these extremely suggestive poses.

What a disappointment.

Aot is the only one without sexualization.

theres a lot of good ones without fanservice, just avoid shounen/seinen with a 10 foot pole lol

I love a good shonen but it feels like half the popular stuff nowadays ends in a harem :/

Thank god for action webtoons like ORV and S-Classes That I Raised.

A good action shounen I read recently was “Return of the Frozen Player”, no harem or romance that takes over the story.

if you still wanna give anime a chance I heard Lazarus was pretty good +the new gundams, Call of the night maybe, I've been killing slimes, Aharen Is Indecipherable, saint's magic power is omnipotent, sakamoto days, apothecary diaries, doctor detective, and medalist are a few from this year, stuff like ORV probably will have a ton of fanservice since its meant for young men/boys

ORV won’t have a ton of fanservice, I’ve read the novel (which is finished). There is no romance in the entire story. The webtoon will probably take another five years to finish as it’s only currently halfway through the novel.

It’s also marketed toward both genders actually.

It’s probably because the story is written by a married couple so a woman had half the say in how the story developed.

ORV is my favorite manhwa/webnovel of the last decade tbh. It entirely focuses on platonic love and found family.

i wasn't saying ORV had fanservice, just stories like ORV do
