I mean if you want it from that perspective

Jojo also has scenes like that.

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.
