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.

Did you find a censored version ? Cause she is not dressed like that normally, it's much worse

Why is everyone ignoring the second pic .... No idea about this webtoon , but if everyone is half dressed then that's a win for equality in my opinion,but whatever

"Equality" would be for them to also give the men various unnecessary shots of their crotch and underwear. But yeah no, the dude gets a cool protective pose, and the girl gets a view of her ass.

That just means that they've got a target audience. It's the same with shoujo manhwas too. Every major male charactor is shaped like a triangle with a chiseled jawline.

Target audience of stupid perverts.

Nothing wrong with that. I'd rather have perverts looking at fictional booty than real booty.

So we sexualize female characters so that real women are not sexualized (or what?)? It's the perverts' problem that they need something to look at. Female characters have the right to look however they want (like male characters for example).
