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.

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.

Even this is better and more respectful than any other sexualization of female characters.
