Yeah, using "males" and "females" wording like that is not very guchi around here so...
Yo mods let's get some correction on that thread title.

A lot of people posting in this thread really show their insecurities. At first it felt like some where tripping over themselves to rush and post a joke post but it got better as the thread went on. I find it interesting what women think is attractive cause it's sometimes it's different from what men expect. If this thread was waifu list wars there would be so much less joke posts.

Those are just band-aids/temporary solutions though, it's impossible to even address every obstacle. Equity as a solution means there'll always be sexism because it's always coming from a point of male dominance, and as we can see it's constant battles to just make minor changes.
I mean you need both short term and long term solutions I'd argue. To use your own metaphor, a bandage doesn't heal the wound, but it can at least stop someone from bleeding out until we can prepare a proper solution

I agree. I'm not trying to make it seem like I'm against temporary measures, I'm against the idea of those being the end-goal.

Nathan Drake n company are so boring like...they're so generic it hurts.
Now if we're talking hot? Matt Engarde.

Of course. I mostly just chose this version of the image because it's more relevant to the current situation since resetera mods don't have the power to just end societal sexism

is it conceited for a man to wear underwear with his own face plastered on them

or does Spider-Man have licensing deals and he gets free merch of himself

Or is it Mary Jane's idea of a fun gift

Spider-Man's chisseled butt raises too many questions
Still not as legendary as America's Ass 😂😂

almost finished with the last DLC and I do remember early game with one of the backpacks, Peter talks about old licensing deals he had for Spider-man and how the plushies and pizza are the only things left.

Why are you here?

You've made it clear how uncomfortable objectification of any kind makes you, knowing full well some of that is going to happen here.

Why?
Two reasons,
1. I love cool, attractive male designs! There are still several people that are posting pics that are in good taste, and I want to see that.
2. I was trying to call out the needless sexualization by people in this thread. If it needs to be done for the creepy men posting objectifying posts about women, then it needs to be done for creepy people posting objectifying posts about men as well.

At least now you know which members to not take serious when they pop up in some other threads complaining about a sexualized design. Remember the names.

"Males"?

That's a big yikes op. I can't believe this website allows such incel language. Please refer to "males" as men.

Carlos in RE3R is definitely the kind of guy you'd think would be able to walk up to any woman in a club and begin dancing with them.

That's a horrible picture, what'd make the most sense? Just removing the obstacle altogether.
You just don't understand and this is a perfect example of privilege. Often in real life the barrier can't be removed. That's why different people need different kinds of help. Should the stadium just remove all fences?

I can understand that and you're right, no woman or man should be objectified.

But you know what, we so rarely have a thread like this one. Maybe you should excuse yourself if you're finding it not in good taste.

Honest question, is that shot showing Spider-Man's cute and funny Spidey-boxers really that tasteless and creepy? If people really take offence I'll delete it.

Just because you don't get to objectify men and look at clearly sexualized pictures of Spider-Man's butt often doesn't mean that it's right to do. I'm going to stay because I still want to see designs that I like. It just makes me sad and uncomfortable that people feel the need to be this way sometimes.

What I found very intriguing is IronFalcon1997 hasn't said a peep about sexualized characters in the "Why women criticize sexualized characters" but now all of a sudden this is a huge problem.

While playing Arc Rise Fantasia I did find the prince and Alfonso to be much more attractive than L'arc

I'm not a woman, so how am I qualified to input on their perspective of sexualized women? Besides, there's a difference between lending my voice to a conversation that's already very full where what I would have to say has already been said a hundred times and calling out things when they're happening as I see them.

Unless that thread is actually about posting pictures of attractive female characters that's not really a gotcha
Didn't say it was a gotcha, just find it intriguing.

Sure. Just find it intriguing.
