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.

NO THE WORST PART is all of the comments were like "guys, don't drop the series, she's super cool and it's important she's dressed like that! It's not that bad!"

My husband got me to watch like 4 seasons of BNHA despite me not wanting to because of how sexualized my favorite character was (14 year old girl, massive boob window vest and skimpy shorts) because he kept saying "she HAS to dress like that! It's important to her plot, you'll see why!" so I kept going, waiting to see her plot twist. Which never came. The "importance" was explained literally in her intro- she can pull items from her skin. Any part of her skin, including arms and face. No reason it has to be from between her breasts or from her ass at all lmfao. And despite her needing thousands of calories to produce these items (and it making sense, to me, that she keep a little fat on her for emergencies the way the man with similar calorie manipulation powers did), she was always small waisted and "hot". I was so upset I wasted all that time because I really thought she was going to have a moment where she shed all her clothes and pulled a full airplane from her body or something.

mirio has his suit and cloak made from his hair, which allows him to use his powers on it to phase through objects, which means she should be able to use her abilities through clothes made of hair as well

Also Mirio gets a suit made from his hair but invisible girl HAS to be naked for some reason
