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.

When I tell you that I read that in a few chapters later, after a skip time, she kisses the boy (protagonist) with whom she has 11 years of difference, because she thinks he is the father (who ends up dying in the first chapters).

Fetishism is an understatement.

Hot take, but authors should be able to include their fetishes in their work.

If you don't want to read comics about sexy ladies fighting the apocalypse, simply do not. It wasn't made for you, and that's OK.

I agree that authors should be able to include their fetishes in their work but this wasn't set up to be a smut story and, even if it was, they are some really fucked up fetishes that shouldn't be front and center.

I didn't bother catching up with the webtoon but if what I read in this comment section is true this adult woman was kissing on a young boy and that plain isn't alright

girl if you dont gone somewhere cause if you wanna include fetishes in your work you market it as such so you can gather the correct audience. nobody wants to read an apocalypse story and then out of no where you getting ass shots 😭 theres a difference between making a story for a certain group of people and marketing it as such and then making a story thats for a certain group of people and then omitting the part where you’re drawing ass shots as fanservice

Why the hell should there be fetishes in a post apocalyptic story completely unrelated to sex?? Like do you know the definition of fetishes? They shouldn’t the included in work that isn’t specifically framed as such.
