    That is so ridiculously sexist. But in 97, I was a kid… and I remember very well any feliminine figure being sexualized, on magazine covers and such. Tomb Raider, Heavy Metal…

            Seems like if you come at this from the perspective that the artists are only treating straight men as their target demo, that’s what makes it “sexist” imo.

            Hypersexualised depictions can be great fun, but if you’re only doing it for one type of person, across almost an entire industry (which was the case back then) that’s pretty arguably sexist.
