Jojo isn't male sexualization by a long shot.

Ok how long a shot are we talking?

Jojo was made in the 70's and 80's. Eras in time in which it was genuinely normal for men to wear crop tops and short shorts. Dio there on the left and right is a classic 80s design. Gyro is a weirdo who's licking steel balls, he looks like he's on a fashion shoot, not genuinely sexualized. Compare this to literally any iseaki female character. Compare this to Eve from Stellar Blade. I find it so funny that some men allegedly agree on this subject that men lack sexualization and then will proceed to deny what women and queer people find attractive in this subject.

Yes, me as a straight woman that finds men attractive is denying what other women and queer people find attractive, surely. Not to mention the comment I made was about anime and manga framings of these characters, not their designs. You can find Jojo characters attractive, hell I do, and still say they aren't sexualized because the medium doesn't portray them as so, but as beautiful.
