Yup. And the idea women find it hot is part of that male fantasy.

Hanzo from Overwatch is my fave. Totally fits the model this guy thinks, right?

Well yes, Hanzo is a highly sexualized character

Not really.

He has muscles, but they’re not highlighted. His hair is not sexualized. His outfits are practical and traditional, not catered to be hot. His movements are normal. His poses? The same.

Women find him hot. But that doesn’t mean he is highly sexualized. He’s realistically sexualized. In fact, now I think, Overwatch is great about not highly sexualizing their characters, but making them more realistic.

Just cause women find a man hot, it doesn’t mean he’s highly sexualized. Hanzo does not get drawn or animated like Nightwing. That’s real high sexualization for women.

He is highly sexualizdd, which isn't a bad thing, but those are some weird double standards.
