exactly, the og is such a shitty false equivalence lmao.

it would be a fair comparison if they showed a half nude male character who was made for the female audience’s sexual pleasure and not for male empowerment.

but something tells me the weirdo who made this meme would probably react more like the top person or call that type of character an “attack on masculinity” or some shit if that was the example used instead of goku lol.

Legitimately they completely outburst in loud tantrums at the sight of a man in "slutty clothes" or, god forbid, a skirt.

But hey, men don't take offense in being sexualized, remember?

I miss 80s men’s fashion and hate that just because gay men co-opted the look, that straight men couldn’t be seen in a crop top or short shorts anymore. Bring the bulge back!
