Gaming and Sexism

[Mutsukki]

There's nothing wrong with sex appeal or sexualization. It is wrong when 90% of it is targeted towards 14 year old boys, though.

Well these are pretty bold statements I'm about to say, but I think reason for that is it's probably easier marketing to males than females. By that I mean males are generally more easily swayed by action, violence, and sex. These are simple, primal, stupid things that don't require as much thought or care as something that may draw attention to the female market. It basically comes down to laziness.

When it comes to fiction, women find themselves mostly attracted to deeper or more complex characters rather than a piece of meat. This is why Loki is considered the most attractive character out of all Avengers cast. He's not sexy because of his body, and they didn't need to dress him in tight clothes and make sexy poses. It's his actual character that the ladies love.

But making something like that takes more time and craft. A half naked female can make a man want that product in the blink of an eye. It's easy, it's quick, it works.

This statement is completely untrue, if anything your Loki example is just the opposite of that. Not that Loki is a bad character, but he's not exceptional or great either, it really is -mostly- for his looks and this is no secret. Both him and Thor are actually a good example of sex appeal women tend to like, for different reasons of course.

Also "it's easy and fast to make" is EXACTLY the type of thing that everyone wants to change, it's lazy, unproductive and bad.
