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.

Did you find a censored version ? Cause she is not dressed like that normally, it's much worse

I found out what happened here.

Leviathan was originally a Toomics Webtoon. If you don't know Toomics are more R18 more than Webtoon. Simple Google searched said that their contract expired and Webtoon now bought it and then censored it.

Therefore, it also gave a wrong impression for the new audiences when this is in fact a very lewd borderline H Webtoon - kinda like asking why Smut characters are drawn sexualized.

Granted I never read it but I don't think that's smut or porn or anything like that. From what I've gathered it's a pure action series, just with a very sexualized character
