    How many times have you been upset at a male being cast for their appearance? I mentionned before nearly all actors in US media have been cast for their attractiveness.

    Do you rail against the unrealistic body standards of male superheros in comic books, the same way you would women?

    Be honest, nobody does.

      Yeah so you’re really set on talking to yourself.

      I am talking about objectification. The concept of showing someone as primarily an attractive body, as if they were nothing else.

      And yes, just in star trek I mentioned instances of it, and I didn’t even get started on shits like Enterprise.

      Of course comic books have an extreme tendency to show unrealistic body standards, and the fact that the idea of a “normal” guy now is a bodybuilder says a lot, but that’s not about objectification. When Star Trek shows Riker naked in his bathtub just for the sake of it, yeah, that is. And yes I’m against it.

      I think you are so stuck in your vision of things that you just cannot admit that someone would see things differently.
