Re: The Avengers
Men and women are different. What is sexual to one, is not necessarily sexual to the other. That's why Dorkman's example of Ironman bending over is a false comparison. No woman would find that sexy. She may find a ripped male standing upright in a dominant position just as sexualized as men do of a woman bending over. It's the end result or the concept of sexualization that's the key, not the specific pose, as different poses work depending on gender. In that way, both males and females are sexualized, but in ways that reflect different readers' instincts.
As Trey says, you guys are making creationist arguments, where no matter what I say in response you're just going to repeat the same thing you said the first time as if I hadn't spoken at all. If you go back to my previous posts, I've already addressed exactly these points: sexualized and sexy are not the same, the fact that someone may incidentally find an image sexy is not the same as it being the primary purpose of the image, some people find feet sexy but a barefoot character is not inherently sexualized, etc.
And this is why an Intermission on the topic would be a complete waste of time.
