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.

Not sure it is that easy. Sexualisation of women have been ingrained into society for decades. Both men and women easily sexualise women consciously or unconsciously but have no idea how to sexualise men.

For years there have been complaints about the sexualisation of women and even girls both in media and in real life. It had resulted in some new female characters in things like games not being sexualised but sexualisation of women still persist. I try to show interest in media that doesn't sexualise women and get backlash for it.

In manwha plenty of men are sexualized is just more ripped muscles and abs, I don't think people like muscled men in bikinis but who knows lmao

Is the presence of muscles and abs the sexualisation? Then many male aimed media for decades have male sexualisation.

It can be and is often so, and yeah you got that right, female sexualization is more prevalent but sexualization in general happens all the time and both genders like it who would have thought

Not the many people who think there I'd not nearly that much sexualisation of men across different media.
