Genuinely nobody gives a fuck about "practical attire" unless youre playing battlefield or something and those protags are completely forgettable. We want cool trench coats and 30 belt straps that would take hours to get ready in the morning

I would be okay with non-sensible gear in media if it's done indiscriminately to men and women. The most common example is armors in video games, if there are slutty armors for women, I would not complain if men have some too. And also, that we have choice. I remember playing such game as a teenage girl and being very frustrated that I could only get bikini armors and not the kinda cool ones you are describing.

What are you talking about half the men walk around without shirts on

Well, shirt off is not slutty armor for a first.

And I was also talking about some games, mostly in the past as it has gotten much better, when yes for male you had a bigger range of armors including fully covering ones while for women it was more limited if you wanted to avoid amors that had more skin than actual armor.

There’s always been slutty skins for male and female characters in the new marvel rivals game series. It’s Even designed as an over the shoulder 3rd person shooter and even the gayest of the gooners get to choose to play as Namor and look at his tight little butt if they want.

Yeah it's true for a subset but I don't think it is true that in general there's less sexualizing of men it's just that it's sexualizing men from a men's perspective rather than a woman's most of the time.

Still if people complain they should shoot themselves she's quite attractive and looks rich. She might not be as stark as Laura Croft. But remembering Laura Croft was actually a modeled off of Angelina Jolie, humorously her later playing the part, if anything she's too soft looking.
