Wasnāt Vega (Mortal Combat), literally a showmen fighter?
This guy?
Yeah him! Lol
Street fighter.
Thereās also Zato-ONE from Guilty Gear
And his juicy bum
Itās not even an issue of if men are secualized or not. Male characters are definitely sexualixed. People just dont know what that means.
Men do not need to be showong off their butts or bending down to present to be attractove to most women. Most women do not want this.
A male superhero just needs to be fit enough to ogle.
Mamoa isnt even posing and women want him carnally
Video games do the same thing. You just need to be shirtless or fit. No armor needed to protect your organs.
We even have high definition booty.
And before you say āthatās a male power fantasy!ā
1) then explain when women dress up as hot female characters who love those designs. Explain Bayonetta. If those are female power fantasies, does that invalidate them from being sexualized? No? Then apply that to male characters.
And
2) a book written by a woman, whose primary audience was both women and girls. They lusted after this guy, and put a literal shirtless minor on these posters just to be ogled. No twerking or bending down needed. Him being shirtless and fit was enough.
Again, men do not need to be curvy and showing off their butts to be sexualized. Itās about what people find sexy.
He can just be standing there and be objectified. No sexual pose needed.
Both male and female video game characters (charscters in generalā¦people) are sexualized and objectified. Just in different ways.
In conclusion-
