So the idea is that the overwhelming majority of this sexual content being focused on women’s bodies is simply a reflection of our society, a natural symptom, and doesn’t reinforce or propagate this fixation on a value system placed on a women’s body, it simply mimics it? And the same with violence?
And that the people who think it DOES, are a very small minority of the vocal people, and a majority of them are just anti-sex?
Personally, my argument has always been that society has a strong moral teaching that violence is ultimately not good, and people who get violent rashly are to be shamed. Fixating a women’s worth on how sexually stimulating her body is has nowhere near the same stigma in our society, or probably any human society.
Here's my carepost on the subject:
Violence is fun, sex is fun.
These are
biological realities i think.
Pretending to beat people up is fun. Looking at nice milkers (or dongs) is also fun.
The "disproportionate sexualization of women in media" is really a separate argument that people have inevitably conflated with the above one.
Around 2010/2012, when this stuff started to become the daily topic on GAF, that is how it was sold: "
Sex isn't the problem, the problem is the imbalance! You can have your Bayonetta/Dead or Alive, but you also need less sexualized examples of female characters" was a very reasonable argument, one i still agree with, yet now you go on Resetera and you can see clearly how every single example of (female) sexualization is bad and should be purged, which to me is plain prudishness with another name, and it's why i stopped taking them seriously long ago.
Then if you want to talk about women's body standards in society, that's a third argument still, and i don't think it has all that much to do with anime tits.
