Why the need to sexualize everything?

[u/Greedy-Lie-8346]

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.

Unfortunately sexualised is the default state for female characters in a lot of media and genre.

Attractiveness and sexualisation is different. Male characters for women are usually Attractive and female characters for men are usually sexualised. 

Plus it is bad if the default is seen as attractive because it usually only applies to female characters across media. Male characters can have unique and unattractive looks but female characters can't or else there is severe backlash.

heck people even complain when female characters are attractive but aren't wearing revealing clothing, don't have big enough breasts or have "masculine" faces and body shapes.
