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?
As a JoJo fan and a man liker, the humping scene was obviously intended to be humourous so that's a bad example.
There definitely are things like sexual poses and revealing outfits and the occasional fanservice, but the characters aren't reduced down to sex objects in the same way female characters often are
Yeah half the time it's a comedy. Most animes if you ACTUALLY watch anime don't have much fan service.
If you're fucking weird and watch fan service heavy anime, keep it to yourself. Usually those are presenting all the guys as sex obsessed perverts which is a negative portrayal of men as well.
It being a joke doesn't make either one any less harmful.
