Around when did the idea that you can’t have an attractive woman in artwork or entertainment come about? Is the “male gaze” nonsense something fairly new? I remember seeing the “your just mad because you can’t jack off to it” not too long ago on gaming forums if someone pointed out that they seem to make women to look like men.
Yet I’ve heard plenty of women gushing over the Witcher because of Cavill or women who loved Mamoa in GOT and Aquaman. But if I say I’m going to see this movie because the lead actress is hot I’m sexist. Also, it’s interesting how stuff like romance novels have men with rippling muscles but women have to look “realistic”
Cause virtue signaling and victimhood = power.
It started with "not enough women are represented in movies and games and stuff" and then people pointed out that we had Buffy, Xena, Alien series, Leia in old Star Wars, Lara Croft, Kill BIll etc.
In order for the virtue signalers and victimhood junkies to remain in power they said that strong women have been represented for a long time but it was sexy women from a men perspective. No proof that women did not like this characters and gave no reason why making something that appeals to guys is bad.
This one stuck and women are now victims again, so they want the exact opposite of what guys like seen thru the lens of men hating feminists.
Pointing out that women drool over men swimming competitions at the olympics or half naked Cavil does not brake their grift. For some reason being hypocritical has no power in 2015+.
We live in strange times where being oppressed means you get preferred treatment and are excused from responsibilities of failure while being privileged means you can be discriminated and treated like subhuman with impunity.
Don’t forget you can be an oppressed multi millionaire. I think a lot of college students should spend some time in a third world village. Let them gain perspective on what oppression is. Or see how women are treated in certain parts of the world.
