Well that's because generally it's easier to define one sort of set of features for women to have that will generally be attractive to more guys while with guys there is more different archetypes as such.
Assuming we're going back to some of the older models and we're not doing stiletto heels then I don't see a problem but it would also mean making a fair number of the guys no longer shirtless too in marketing.
Except they generally as as Swords and Sandals aesthetic many are based on has been in culture for a long time and was basically porn for women
No one is immune to the law of unintended consequences. It's not about separating fantasy from reality. That's missing the point. Social pressures are very real and media is part of them.
Pointing it out is fine. I have a problem when people demonize it, try to cancel it, or try to shame people for liking it.
Sure, hotness is subjective. Of course, to a degree, I'm going to be speaking from personal experience. But I've never seen characters like Kratos or Rock considered attractive by people who are actually attracted to men; that only ever seems to come up as a counter-argument by people defending the battle-lingerie women wear.
I mean there will always be some

That poll is bullshit. Everyone knows Voldo is the sexiest character in the whole franchise bar none. Yes, that includes all the ladies too.
First off, I don't think cancel culture is this existential threat people make it out to be since nearly everyone who's been allegedly cancelled is still able to make a living doing their thing just fine. And unfortunately, demonizing, canceling and shaming are all synonyms for "talking about it at all" in my experience. Seriously bro, gamers are some of the whiniest assholes on the planet. This can't have escaped your notice.
I agree with you, but it's more than just gamers with cancel culture. There are people old and young, but especially the young, that over react or offended by nearly everything. While some things make sense like the blackface with certain celebrates and senators, others are just ridiculous like with Dave Chapelle. You have people on left and right that want to cancel him, or are "offended", only because he made of someone or people that are off limits. When these people seem to forget or too full of themselves to realize that everyone is target when it comes to Dave and he's always had that style of humor. I am not worried for Dave as he is doing more than fine, and the dude still makes me laugh.
The political history of Russia and even the circumstances around the game itself do not make the game itself political.
What? I just love the video; it's so bad ass. Saw it all the way back in 2010.The political history of Russia and even the circumstances around the game itself do not make the game itself political.
There is no theme or messaging in Tetris, outside of maybe some very very very very thin projections from people.
Good try though
Dude there is a very big difference from discussing something, and outright demanding it be changed or cancelled.
I know imagine if some-one were demanding Comic Code authority style Moral restrictions on an industry to get rid of content they don't like?
Funny how you remove what most would call the most important part of what defines something as propaganda.
Yes, I recognize that. Notice how I didn't say that "art with a message is propaganda"? I said "If you're making art to push a message, that's propaganda."
The full sentence is "Propaganda is communication that is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be presenting facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is presented."
It's kinda hard for an author to make something with a message and not be pushing it. An author makes a piece of art revolving around a message because they think it's important to tell and share with lots of people. How does one accomplish that without "pushing" the message? If you want people to experience your art with a message, you're pushing a message. Or else you'd write a book and burn it after reading it yourself. Or a graffiti artist would find a spot that no one sees.
It's like we're playing telephone. I say one thing, and then you reword what I said in a way that changes the meaning.
I also never said anything about "revolving around a message".
Of no, somebody pointed out that corporation exist solely to make money at all costs and that's maybe bad.
