Uh, Terminator 2 didn't have a sex scene in the theatrical release, and it's widely regarded as the best in the franchise. (I think there was supposed to be a flashback, but that got cut.)
In fairness, it kinda is important in the comic, and is clearly not for titillation.
Can't recall the film rendition of the scene though.
Someone want to remind this clueless ratbag that Aliens didn't have a sex scene either and kicks as much ass as The Terminator. Oh, and they were made by the same person. And pitched at the same age group. Its almost as if one had a plot reason for sex and the other didn't and audiences didn't get fucking hung up on it.
Also, some other 70s and 80s classics that don't have sex scenes include Commando, Rambo First Blood (part one and two), Predator, Rocky, the Back to the Future trilogy, Superman, Batman, Beverly Hills Cop, Die Hard (1-3), The Untouchables. Are they sexless? Or are they written around something specific and neither their writers or directors saw fit to screech the pacing to a halt to have a pair of naked breasts bounce around the screen.
And lastly, most superhero movies are aiming for the same spaces as Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Rollicking adventures that basically the whole family can enjoy without it getting awkward.
Terminator 2 doesn't have a sex scene in ANY version. The flashback, which is in the Director's Cut, is just Reese appearing to Sarah while she's in the hospital. They make out for like five seconds and the whole thing feels very tragic. Because while James Cameron can be very tasteless - Lookin' at you, infidelity subplot of True Lies - it seemed he thought better of having the traumatised woman have a sex dream after she'd been forcibly sedated. Even if the only reason may have been that Linda threatened to crush his nuts in her, likely at that point, vice like grip if he tried.

Ackchyually, Die Hard 1 had boobies. They were pointless boobies cuz 80's, but they were there. I know, I wasted braincells remembering that... *sigh*
No, I would marry her on the spot.
I have not really encountered the so called obsession, but this article I thought was really fascinating:
Everyone Is Beautiful and No One Is Horny - Blood Knife
The human body has become a strange contradiction at the heart of the modern blockbuster. Sexy, yes. But sexual? No.

I've read that article before. Personally, I think both it and the tweet I linked to are examples of going too far in the opposite direction by perceiving prudishness and sex-negativity where none exists. It's especially absurd since they're complaining about a lack of sexiness in superhero movies when pre-MCU films didn't have them in abundance either. These guys are looking at a lack of sex scenes in one specific genre and making ridiculous leaps in logic.I have not really encountered the so called obsession, but this article I thought was really fascinating:
My own thoughts is that in my youth I obsessed over how things were presented and one of the ways this expressed itself was that public displays of sexuality was a bit taboo for me and there were public support that such showcases were not good which lead to me getting stuck on the sex=bad bandwagon when it came to media. That is an attitude I don't really have any more, since sex-negativity is not something I wish to subscribe to, but if I have felt that way by pop cultural osmosis odds are someone else also has and if they ended up in charge of media production then that is an attitude that informs the media they create. Which in turn forms a backlash, exemplified by the linked article.Everyone Is Beautiful and No One Is Horny - Blood Knife

Critics of Lizzo and Trump Have Something Awful in Common
Both of these very famous people have been in the news recently and both have seen critics turning to a cheap source of mockery.

On a related note, I'm confident that I could fight a serious bodybuilder when they were competing, and win, because in order to show off their muscles, they have to dehydrate themselves to absurd levels. To the extent that fainting during competitions isn't unknown. With my much superior physique due to drinking water, I'd be in massively better shape.I have not really encountered the so called obsession, but this article I thought was really fascinating:

Which is very silly.
Then you got a better memory than me cos I don’t remember any naked women in Die Hard at all. I’m guessing they were a pair of guests having some slap and tickle in an office when Hans and co. kicked the door in.
EDIT: also I’m making a distinction between casual nudity and a full blown sex/love scene. It’s why Predator 2 wasn’t listed cos it does have one.

There are plenty of women in Genshin the problem isn’t a bunch of Koreans talking in their language about LGBTQ rights it’s annoying westerners butting in when they don’t even understand Korean to call all Korean men incels.
Superficially similar but missing the vibe, like most Snyderisms
I mean, we're like a month out from the Project Moon offices getting raided because a gaggle of korean dudes* were mad over blatant bullshit.
*not all Korean dudes, office isn't big enough for that
Can you show examples of where liberals claimed all korean men are incels? Honestly this just reads more like the whatever-color-pill "Asian Masculinity"* crap you've parroted in previous rants.
*To be clear, I'm not talking about the masculinity of Asian people. I'm talking about a specific MGTOW/incel-adjacent group that uses that term.
That was it. IIRC, because the terrorists were busy looking at the semi-naked woman, they weren't looking for McClane's legging it.
