For over a decade activists have decried that media aimed at men tends to have things men like, which includes attractive women. There's been several good posts on this subreddit on unhelpful feminist concepts like objectification and the alleged male gaze. But on major sites like Reddit and X/Twitter, I've been seeing massive amounts of rage and complaints aimed at (primarily Asian) media that has the audacity to sexualize women at all. Not objectify, not overseuxalize, just having the sheer audacity to portray women with any kind of sensuality regardless of context or form. It's never explained why this is bad beyond vague dismissals of "it's unnecessary," it's just assumed to be a priori wrong with no qualifications needed. It doesn't matter how old or young the target is, how curvy or slim she is, how much skin she's showing or what pose she's doing; it's all and always immoral.

Is this just doofuses on the internet just being mad that one of those evil cis straight males might like something, or is there some kind of obscure political/ideological backing to it I'm not aware of?
