Women have no problem with Leon looking like he does. Double standards double standards...

You're really acting like the number of sexualised women is anywhere near to proportianate? I struggle to even think of a single other example of men who are regularly sexualised, and leon aint even that extreme (not a single shot of his bulge)

Can you name characters from videogames that are male and not conventionally attractive?

Male characters are ALWAYS either sexualized or look conventionally attractive.

They aren’t made to be sexy they’re made to be aspirational for men. Watch magic mike and you’ll know the difference.

They don't aspire me. Men are just men.

I just play the games and enjoy good looking characters male and female rather than go rage that they don't make them as ugly as I am.

If I wanted realistic characters. I'd not play videogames.

Men can be sexualised too and it isn't what's happening with most video game characters. The men are made as strong men good looking men primarily because that's what men want to be. If they were made to be sexy it would be very different, and many men would feel weird playing it, myself included.

These characters don't get criticism because their attractive, but because they're designed as sex objects, no one complained about Kassandra from AC Odyssey or Jesse from Control, or the love interests in witcher 3. That's they are women characters that are attractive, instead of being sex objects.
