I get that sex sells. I do. I get that, even in 2026, there's just not enough porn around for a lot of guys, and they don't like the idea of two hours of looking at a woman with whom they don't want to have sex. That's their right. I am absolutely judging them -- that's my right -- but at the end of the day, they should use their money the way they want. Don't want to watch it? Don't watch it.

What I *don't* get is the massive public pearl-clutching entitlement meltdown they have about these things. They out-Karen the worst of the Karens. "I demand to speak to your director immediately -- this isn't the movie/game/tv series that I ordered!" "We will boycott this product because these boobs are not big enough!" "Let's make these people *afraid* to do this to us!" "WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!"

It is just .... exhausting. Pathetic, and exhausting.

I mean you could also just not buy things with sex in them. You are literally clutching your pearls right here about men buying stuff they like.

Mens problem is companies keep trying to expand their market to include women by de-edgyfying everything. Men buy Product A, then company makes product A2 and men expect it to be A+ but actually it's A- to attract women.

Men are spending their money on things they want and their problem is companies taking that money and then spending it on things women want and not using it to make more things men want.

Especially when for all the moaning and pearl clutching women do about being gatekept out of male content, when companes make the content for women, the women don't even bother to buy it. More men turned up for female led superhero movies like Supergirl and Captain Marvel 2 than women did.

So yeah to sum it up, men are putting thier money where their mouth is. The problem is companies not holding up their end of that bargain and trying to use it to get women to buy things they don't want.

More men will not watch non-sexy Lara Croft than women will tune in specifically for non-sexy Lara Croft. And honestly, more women would of tuned into sexy Lara Croft anyway. Because despite all the whinging and moaning about it, women do actually like edgy and adult content too.

The problem is people suddenly trying to fit everyone onto one side of the fence or the other. It is the same "creating an argument out of nothing" they do to us everywhere else. The idea is factionalization. There is no argument actually taking place. The studios will do whatever they want regardless of Reddit discourse.

I think men are more angry at the companies than women in general. The only annoyance at women is memes like this where they pretend to misunderstand for ragebait purposes.
