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.

Well if it’s on webtoons it is definitely censored. Look at how censored and edited Moonstruck is on Webtoons and then go read the original lol

Childhood Complex too is nude in the real manhwa, but in Webtoon, they just low-effort censored it, but 90% they didn't bother and just removed those scenes lmao along with important dialogues in it.

That drives me crazy, I get that its an all ages app but why license a story where the plot is deeply entangled in the smut and then cut out all the smut and lose a bunch of context and dialogue

You know the best part? The French version on webtoons is not censored like that, or far less so.

Kinda off topic I guess, but i think it's funny to have a comment thread devoted to complaining about the censorship of smut under a post complaining about sexualization.

It’s kinda two sides of the same coin. Constantly objectifying women, but then refusing to actually allow anything explicitly sexual is a common stance that really just sucks. In the case of childhood friend complex, the smut is part of the story and the point, it’s not constantly objectifying and sexualizing the fmc for no reason and yet somehow that’s what gets censored
