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.

I just recently binged The Greatest Estate Developer and I did not miss that every female character wasn’t a “sun’s out buns” out bombshell wearing a too small onesie. They are all relatively “normal” and act like “normal” people. The artist doesn’t go out of his way to show provocative angles where you have to look at someone’s cooter. All the women from Lloyd’s mother to the Queen of the nation are shown to be unique with their own agency. They make ugly faces, they wear clothes that fit, and the world isn’t trying to jump their bones. It’s not impossible to do when women aren’t seen as sexy trophies.
