i noticed this too , I wouldn't complain if author can also give us more reliable and strong male characters (plus points if their wearing hot outfits)
Yeah exactly. My point is not that "hot = bad", it's just the clear difference how the female characters ARE dressed significantly different to the male characters. Again, I wouldn't give a single fuck if we had male characters wearing heels while fighting in armor (to those who disliked my comment, again, just stop and think about how ridiculous that is) and were having thighs + boobs out all the time.... but they're not. My point is, even if the female characters aren't actively sexualised in the series, it's still sexualisation when they're not allowed to exist just as people without having their "sexy parts" highlighted all the time (in an inconvenient matter no less). You can be hot without showing skin. You can be hot without heels. There's no other reason to dress the women how they're dressed except to highlight their feminine traits and looks. (And again, Eolka is the only exception to this, as she's the only one it makes sense with)
Idk, it can't be just me who's tired of seeing female characters be busty and wearing clothing that show off their body in these action series. It's not that alone, it's the fact that the male characters have pretty much everything covered up and are using practical protection. If just as many men were showing boob windows and thighs, I wouldn't care! Eolka/Fire Mage makes sense since she used to be a noble, but everyone else? Who had/have more practical jobs and are more active in battle? Insane. All the women are wearing heels. JENNA WAS DOING THE WEIGHT RUNNING WITH FUCKING HEELS. THE NEW GIRL IN PARTY 3, WITH PLATE ARMOR, ALSO HAD HEELS. Would call it a girlboss thing if it was only one or two of the women and it made sense for them character-wise (ie. Eolka), but when all the women are made to wear heels and the men none... it makes it clear where it comes from. ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Female characters just aren't allowed to exist the same way the male characters are, huh. Not surprised, but still tiring to see that still in 2023.
