Male gaze

acornholic November 12, 2024 9:12 am

Yes, women have different bodies but you all guys can't deny this character design is exaggerated. Just as the male bodies are exaggeratedly ripped. Still more people are uncomfortable with the female body because it looks kinda sick how thin her arm and her waistline are, while her breast and ass are exaggerated. It's like kim kardashian after ass cheeks implant kind of. Also yes, art doesn't need to be ralistic, but all I can see here is a body made by and for the male gaze.

    You're correct. The male bodies, even though glorified and exaggerated, still look proportionate and well balanced. Our mc's body does not make sense in comparison to her genital features. And it's terrifying that she's sexualised by both of the male interests in the story right now.

    Who’s sexualising her exactly? I keep seeing this statement but where’s the receipts.??? if you read the comments, you’ll see a bunch of gooners sexualising the male characters, proudly! People who don’t touch grass always seem to project on this FL and it’s getting old.

    Dear, the design itself is problematic in the sense that it's an open invitation to the sexualisation of the female body. There exists no woman with a big rack and pelvis who's got such a thin flat waistline, belly and arms. The male body at least looks proportionate and makes sense overall, so the inclination to sexualise doesn't derive from the design itself.

    Have you not in countered a women of colour In real life before? Though, Korean woman are definitely not build like this but you can’t excuse the entire word babes. hate to see a woman with similar around projectors like y’all. Also, male characters heads are so small, even their hands are bigger? And body are huge. Though it’s not a bad thing either, I love the design of bot FL and ML. Y’all pick and choose.

    When they're not using corsets darling they've at least got a belly pouch. And you're right, korean women aren't built like this. Maybe this tells you something. Be so fr. Wym ML' heads' are small ?? It's their bodies that are big lol. I like both designs as well, but one is made to sexualise

    Korean men are NOT naturally built like that either so what’s your point? who said anything about corset ? Lmao i literally have friends IRL who are built like her. I also was just emphasising the ML proportions aren’t as accurate as y’all glaze, since there’s so many body anatomist’s in these comments

    Tell me how he's sexualised. I've got very specific terminologies for sexualisation. Meaning, emphasis on the sexual nature of behaviour, and exaggerated genitals.

    LMAO you think you can grow your genitals with a workout routine? Sadly this lady has never had time for that anyway. Korean men are very much capable of looking like that and we've got many examples of Korean men in sports and other fields. I don't give half a doggy style damn about his large hands, cus his arms FIT IN with the rest of his body.

    Did you not read what I said? Korean men aren’t “naturally” built like that. It’s literally in their genetics not to be since they’re born with more oestrogen than other ethnicity’s. Haesoo is constantly on her feet, tho she’s not w/o but she’s active 24/7 compared to minchoel who’s alcoholic rat yet he’s almost built similar to ml! Haesoo hips and boobs are “ also” emphasised because of her age, since that’s accurate, she curver than ari & the other girls, tho they’re not much of a difference. Any one with comprehension skill would’ve picked that up you femcels need to put that smut down and spend sometime out side.

    I tried connecting your "natural" remark to my original point, because it made no sense to me otherwise. What are you referring to with the term natural? I partly agree with you on the Mincheol remark but it's easier for men to maintain a good figure, esp if they've been active for a good amount of period in their lives. And you can be curvy at Ari's age too, don't get the "older the curvier" argument.

    I never said you couldn’t ? but is she curvy in the manwha rn? No, so idk where that came from. And woman can aswell. As I said, haesoo is active asf how can she not be fit aswell.

    Not to butt in y'alls conversation, but speaking from experience, working all day long without getting much to eat or rest or the stress accumulating does NOT give you those proportions, you'd end up losing some weight yes, but realistically speaking for a woman to have that much amount of fat in her chest and ass is BOUND to have some fat in her arms, thigh or belly, it's only natural, really, the body has to balance the fat . The only way for you to have those proportions with THAT SKINNY AF body would be through cosmetic surgery. There just isn't any way to have proportions like that naturally, the body is supposed to balance the fat in it.
    Y'all I'm not trying to fight I swear

    I agree with you. There's simply no way to carry no fat on the stomach and arms with genital proportions that thick.
