I hate the "False Equivalency" point.
To me it is just an excuse of, "Why my complaint is valid, and yours isn't."
The reason why the male characters don't get shit about being half nude, or overly buff and perfectly flawless is simple. People don't fucking care.
Just like people don't give a shit that the female characters are hot.
You know why?
Because people like look at hot people. End of story. Beauty on either side of the gender gap isn't offensive to 99% of people because everyone likes it.
But feminists like to make it a problem and in so doing try to also play off that the hot dudes aren't an issue because of some power fantasy bullshit. Let's face it, if horny neckbeards wanted a true power fantasy in gaming, then all the main characters would be a bunch of awkward looking fuckers who impossibly get all the hot ladies, and save the world and shit.
Also to add to that. The very term "power fantasy". If it's fantasy, then who the fuck cares? If that's the fantasy people want, what's wrong with it?
I hate the way that people like to pretend that men don't suffer through the same sorts of body positivity issues when we see Hugh Jackman shreded as fuck and all shirtless and shit all over TV and magazines and video games. I hate that men are viewed incapable of suffering the same mental health issues that women suffer from in terms of body normalcies and such.
The differences in a sexy female character and a sexy male character as as different as the behaviors of the sexes in general. Women tend to use their bodies more in order to be attractive. They use make-up, shake their hips, stick out their chest or bums, their bodies are very much their weapons of sexuality. Meanwhile the man is sexy when he is tough, protective, strong, providing, there is a very different dynamic. One is much less visual and that's the problem, because it is so obvious with women people don't see the same issues with the male characters.
It's not a false equivalency, it's pure equivalency. It just manifests in different ways, and one side is completely ignored.
