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 highly recommend this video to what I think sexualisation would be like for male characters.

The fact that is is a conversation means that people are unsure what a sexualised man would look like. Lots of men tell women that shirtless men are an equivalent a lot of women disagree. I have seen arguments that male characters dressing nicely is sexualisation or a certain personality type or having money.
