OP: I don't think you understand the word sexualization. You are trying to find positive reasons for something inherently wrong, for both genders.
There's nothing wrong with viewing a person as sexy, nothing wrong with a person being sexually attractive, but to be sexualized eliminates the person and personality. To be sexualized focuses only on what is physically attractive.
Miranda is a horrible choice, even Bioware PR team goes around talking about how she's just their for tits and ass, her name to fame is having the camera linger on her butt, which wasn't a choice by the writers, it was a choice by the designing team who obviously got bored with her talking about the serious issue of her family. Notice how Miranda's story over the course of ME2 and ME3 doesn't evolve or change much beyond her daddy issues. In character, she's pretty cool, but she stays in a nice, safe bubble so male fans won't get angry or feel out shined and can come rescue her when she's in distress. While her equivalent, Jacob, moves on from daddy issues and finds a woman to accidentally impregnate and helps other ex-Cerberus escape.
Then you have Thane Krios who was technically a sexualized character, I mean, look at those thighs in those tight leather pants, but he is killed off ASAP for a romanticized heroic, warrior death. He was literally really brought in to bait female fans, then cut when Bioware decided he didn't bring in enough fans (they have said they track who is the most popular romances) & they didn't have enough time for his character. The literally shoe horned into a problem I see growing with male characters, that they are valued on the sacrifice of their life. Not for their life.
She probably spent most of her childhood running around the woods completely naked. She grew comfortable enough with her body and never learned to hide it in fear that people will stare or men will violently lose control of their own bodies at the sight of a boob.

Yeah, but she was certainly dressed for herself, not to be sexual. She thought it was weird and uncomfortable to have people staring at her breasts. She didn't dress with the intention of drawing attention to herself. The game artists maybe thought differently, but it was the writers that pulled her through. It's almost as if she was raised with the idea in mind that breasts are not sex objects, despite her mother training her to some day impregnate herself. Though it actually makes sense, considering the fact she spent so little time around many people and half the stuff people do baffles her.Gypsyssilver said:Morrigan from Dragon Age.erttheking said:What's your favorite sexualized character? And how does she (Or he) make it work?
She spent most of the game in very little clothing.
But damn, she was a badass...
