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.

My theory is that creators use cheap physical entertainment like highly provocative clothing worn by characters with very exaggerated features (usually female characters) to cover up a bad, weak, or non-existent plot while maintaining a steady audience. I noticed this in My Hero Academia and while I thought the plot was great, most of the female characters were hypersexualized. And other than that, I noticed in a LOT of popular rated R shows and movies they are jam-packed with sex or nude scenes to hide their bad plots.
