Idk, my hero Academia was pretty popular? Sure Kiroshima is shirtless, but having a 15 year old with a split down her outfit, including the boobs part is a bit more socially unacceptable. And dont say "she needs it for her power", Horioshi decided that the power had to work that way when he didnt have too and she could have just had something closer to a workout top which would actually show more skin it, but no, weird boob window it is.

I also haven't really seen anything like high school of the dead, only with men. At least nothing known.

so your complaint is not the proportions at all, which is the exact point the original was making.

your complaint is with how characters are displayed. you made your own by hero comparison moot by bringing up kiroshima. yea, theres one woman with a weird boob window. theres a dude whos shirtless for no reason too. the man and the woman are both sexualized.

highschool of the dead is no worse than yuri on ice. free! is another very popular anime about dudes who swim. prison school sexualized its men and its women. ouran high school host club was about a bunch of boys "entertaining" female clients.

plenty of shows do the exact same thing to men, the differences is that you personally havent seen them.

it isnt directly, no.

> which is the exact point the original was making.

It wasnt, it was using the proportions to show how much more women are sexualized then men. Men are shown shirtless, women are made into "sexy" caricatures.

> your complaint is with how characters are displayed.

Yes, and who they are displayed for.

> yea, theres one woman with a weird boob window.

My brother in Christ look at the other women too.

Really? Yuri on ice has a bullet flies between the ass cheeks scene fired of off another dudes ass scene? Mind you, from what I have seen of h.o.t.d that type of scene wasnt rare.

Right but that’s not sexual. It’s for comedy. In Yuri.

Also, Ouran was about high schoolers. The way they hosted women was talking to them as if they were people, asking about their interests, remembering them, being nice and non-threatening, causing butterflies and giggles but not arousal. If you see treating women like that as nothing but a reason to get sex, that’s on you, not the anime.

The ones for men are overtly sexual.
