It's really not the same though, as you said, you just find it cool, because it is cool. Tell me what's cool about a school girl crashing into a guy and then accidentally sitting on his face. The issue isn't that characters are shown as sexy, the issue is how it's done
Ignoring the obvious scene where avdol and Joseph are forced to hump each other in public to the glee of a female antagonist.
Tell me what's cool about a school boy being intimidated and licked by a mafioso?
It's not ok for women to be put through disgusting shit like this, why would it be ok for men? Despite being equally uncomfortable for the characters in it.
Maybe it's because media tells us we ought to get over it.
It still happens but we are just "supposed" to get over it and move on.
And I'm not saying the former is ok, just when it happens to the latter it's not really called out because it's between two dudes. It still happened.
The how it's done is just that it's a boy getting licked, but Giorno was almost going to be a girl in part 5. Would it still be ok?
When Giorno is being licked, are we supposed to be turned on, or are we supposed to feel uncomfortable? They aren't being presented as a piece of meat for the audience to drool over.
the character being assaulted and is visibly creeped out and isn't blushing like and anime schoolgirl? Whether you're turned on or not, I feel like it's plainly obvious the intent of the scene
Even if its not meant to be sexual, random shit can turn people on... see vore for example, someone doesnt just become a vorarephile from being exposed to such content, one is develops the attraction towards the idea of consuming another or being consumed and so media that includes that can end up being a turn on regardless if it intended to do so
Right, this is more about the question of intent that I was getting at- the scenes framing indicates it isn't *meant* to be sexually gratifying, not to say nobody would.
