It's annoying that every fictional female character has to be sexualised and hot
Is there no more creativity in fiction or was it always like this?
Im especially talking about anime, most girls look the same all have big eyes no nose and a small mouth.
all of them are slim with a flawless body, i dont think ive ever seen an anime character with stretch marks or pimples.
to me its just unappealing to see the same character design choices over and over and over again to the point where i basically dont watch anime anymore.
this is reaching over to other media aswell tho look at video games overwatch or lol for example 90% of the female characters are perfect dolls and in final fantasy most of the female characters have same face syndrome and are all super unrealistically cute.
Also alot of the time characters are in skimpy clothing for no real reason other than to please horny fans even if it doesnt make sense for the character to wear it (xenoblade) its pretty funny how rare it is to see a female character in normal clothing.
I cant even avoid it its like a plague its everywhere because corporations are greedy and know that sex sells. i just wish there was more games like witcher 3, while yes it had a few sex scenes but all the female characters came off as real people and not just some sex objects and the game was about the story and not fanservice.
Am i just too sensitive? How do you guys feel about sexualisation in media?

You know those "Oh sht, i'm gay" vids on youtube? What's your "Oh sht, i'm ace" moment?
Mine was stumbling on a hentai game ad trying to read manga, and thinking "oh she's got nice hair"

My LGBTQ+ childhood friendgroup was the reason I suppressed my asexuality
I resent these people for multiple reasons, this is one of them. These were my best (and basically only) friends from ages 6-13. A friendgroup of 5: two lesbians (one of whom was non-binary), a bisexual guy, a non-binary pansexual, and me, the “token straight girl.”
They were all fairly confident and open about their identities from a somewhat young age. So, as is completely normal for middle schoolers, they became obsessed with identity and figuring themselves out. A huge part of this was their sexuality and identity as an (almost) entirely LGBTQ friendgroup. So there was a lot of treating me as the stereotypical boring straight friend who they made fun of for my straightness, and didn't allow to participate in their LGBTQ focused discussions. I felt a bit irritated. I was going through huge identity struggles as well, ones they downplayed because they believed theirs were more important. And this included what I now know was my own attempt to figure out my sexuality.
They made fun of me for being boy crazy. My rants about my crushes were what they labeled "weird straight people talk."
The non-binary pansexual was VERY sex positive. They were all about destigmatizing sex and sexual feelings, and sharing their own experience. They were also MUCH older than me. When I was 11, they were 15. That was around the time I started discovering my own feelings around sex. Now, I'm a fairly sex positive asexual, so I certainly had feelings, ones that just felt contradictory and incredibly confusing. This friend would tell me things like "you'll see when you're older," and tell me about their first time having sex, how it should be something I needed to be more open towards and that I'd soon see. I'm sure they had good intentions, but that was the kinda thing that imprinted on me. They were normal, I wasn't. I would be normal eventually.
The non-binary lesbian was my BEST FRIEND (now blocked on instagram). I have SO many good memories of them, but we often clashed. They were the most annoyed with my rants about boys, and we had a lot of inside jokes about my bad taste. But I remember my EXACT words to them one time when I was 13. "I really like him, but I don't know if I'm sexually attracted to him??" and they said "Ew. Straight people are so gross." Looking back, not great. So I took that to heart, decided I was just being TMI, and never thought about or talked about my confusing feelings again until now, this past summer, at age 18.
Then they all went to a very LGBTQ charter school while I went to normal high school. Soon I was out of the main friendgroup. Instead of inviting me to things, they started inviting their new LGBTQ friends. Soon I stopped talking to them entirely. At the end of middle school, I was down 4 friends and one sexuality. I know their ignorance was just a bi-product of being young kids excited about their identity in an "exclusive club," but still. I was traumatized because of my long suppression of my asexuality.
And now that I'm part of the LGBTQ community I can finally say, I don't claim them.
