I agree, it's disgusting the amount of sexualization in character designs.
I was reading the mod edit and I wonder why men being sexualized in video games is a false equivalency?
Is it because the intent behind the character design of many male characters is not about living up to a woman's sexualized view like female characters are for men but designing a character around what a male would want to be like? If so, that makes sense.
Just curious if you think there are as many ripped beyond non-steroid use male characters as there are skimpy bikini wearing female characters?
I mean the OP used FFXV as an example, not sure why Gladio doesn't fall into same bucket as Quiet and Cindy? He is shirtless in some character designs or has fishnet on. He has unrealistic muscles for most men with an 8 pack.
EDIT - Just so I'm clear, I think we should remove both from gaming.
