why does the sexualisation of women in the media ( like the recent case of r mika in street fighter ) and not men have to stop? because apparently women are weaker than men and can't handle depictions of more attractive members of their gender even though men put up with it

I don't think sexualization of men and women is the same. In one case you have a character wearing clothes that are incredibly unconfortable for combat or boobs defying physics, both of which I find absolutely embarrassing. I don't think we get close ups of men's bulges, just shirtless scenes at best. Even the rare naked scenes are clearly meant to be a joke and I doubt anyone would get aroused by them. This whole fan-service makes me, personally, uncomfortable to play certain games like Persona 4:G which other than that was great.

 

i wasn't just talking about video games... there are also situations like these

"I don't think we get close ups of men's bulges"

we don't get close ups of women's crotches either unless you are equating the male crotch area to the female chest?

we do get close ups of males chests

the thing is i understand that there is a difference mainly because men are more susceptible to visual sexual stimulation
