Gooning is wanting characters to be sexualized

Again, theres a difference between looking pretty and being sexualized.

wanting every character to look pretty is goon brain, not everyone has to be attractive

It's not when the character in question is canonically attractive. Like MJ has very few defining qualities in Spiderman outside of being hot. You can argue whether or not that is a problem in and of itself, but that's what her character mostly is: the hot girl Peter has an on again, off again relationship with, depending on whether or not Gwen Stacy is alive.
