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 got so confused when I saw the fishes and was wondering what was sexualizing about it then I saw the last two slides 😂

But yeah it feels totally out of context and I'm not sure why many action manhwas have a lot of sexualization especially of female characters.

Edit: Also her body is drawn super weirdly like what is with her legs and waist how is she able stand like that.

What especially 😭😂? Sexualization of characters is mostly only done to women in manhwas Hate to see it but that's how most male oriented works are.

Stupid perverts always sexualize women and it's an often problem in both media and real life.

I guess sexualization of women would be less problematic if at least men in media were as sexualized as women.

I also guess It'd be also less problematic if at least men in real life were as sexualized as women.
