Crosspost "Player 212 in Squid Game is labeled as "promiscous" by male audience because she had sex with a guy" from /r/Feminism:

Hey everyone,

I am a big fan of the show and watched some fan created youtube video essays, some of them trying to psychoanalyze the characters. Player 212 is constantly portrayed in a degrading, sexist and infantilizing way. The specific point I want to make here is that her sexual acts (in total 1!!!) are interpreted as something shameful and they say she is selling her body, saying she is promiscous. I cannot believe we still have to go through this in 2021. I know women who actually enjoy sex, you know? I am a gay man myself, and I love sex. Not only am I offended for women, but I feel personally attacked by this as this is an attack on every person who is perceived as a "receiver" and labeled "feminine". The man who had sex with her in the show is for some reason not labeled promiscous?! What are your thoughts?
