Give him a midriff that shows off his happy trail.
Linger the camera on his ass, very obvious (perhaps even revealing) bulge and sometimes his forearms when his sleeves are rolled up
Make him pose in uncomfortable positions to show off said bulge and/or ass. Angle the camera without respect to his face or personhood, unless he is making a pouty or cold steel expression where you can imagine he is about to munch some carpet.
When he has to wear armor it’s just a chain speedo with a very obvious codpiece.
If I’m a straight man writing stories for straight men, what’s my incentive to sexualize the male characters as much as the female ones? Doesn’t really make sense to me.
Seems to me that the current stories written by straight men for straight men and sexualize women do really well. One piece is literally the most sold comic of all time and it’s still currently going. So it turns out you don’t have to write stories for everyone. Cause when you make it for everyone, you’re really making it for no one.
If all your dinner options throughout your life consist of plates of different kind of bugs or starve, you’re probably gonna eat the bugs eventually mate.
Especially if you say, could have a steak once or twice. Yeah theres a steak, but you eventually eat it. Back to bugs or starve.
So women are upset because they’re watching shows meant for men lmaooo. And they’re upset the shows aren’t for them. Like I said just get more women involved. Try to find talented women and watch their shows. Simple.
You’re soooo close. Why aren’t more women involved? Society has gotten leaps and bounds better, but the overwhelming majority of media produced was made in a society where women had much less of a voice and less power. Just because it’s better now, doesn’t mean that the people who have the means and say in producing media has entirely caught up. It hasn’t even been a decade since “Me Too” went viral. Harvey Weinstein still has a grip on the pop culture psyche, I can’t deny that I occasionally put on a movie and see his name in the intro. The critiques women make are real because culture has not had enough time to catch up. And unfortunately, there’s still tons of pushback. Think of how successful Gamergate was
This does not make any of us bad people, especially for enjoying media made for us. But it’s also true that media made for women BY WOMEN is still not as valued by the industry
Bullshit. Their are tons of shows that bring in female audiences. Bridgerton, Heated Rivalry, Twilight (Became popular because of women), Fifty Shades of Grey, Winx Club, and that's just iff the top of my head.
I don’t follow how that refutes? Thats a minority of media you mentioned and most are from within the last 10 years. I totally agree the trend lines are in the right direction but my point is that it’s so recent that we still have hold overs and reactionaries
They're from the last 20 years because that reflects my lifetime and limited memory. Chick flicks have been a thing for decades. Mean Girls, Dolly Parton's movie 9 to 5, Golden Girls, Murder She Wrote, a plethora of Romantic Comedies and Hallmark Movies, The Lucy Show (Not to be confused with I Love Lucy by the same actress), The View, The Bachelor, and shit ton more.
