About the hate towards sexualization in league of legends

I've seen several peaple bring up this topic and quite honestly i don't get the problem here, sure these champions(mostly and i mean MOSTLY women) are considered sexy and have skins made specefically cuz ''sex sells'' but what's the bad thing about this? When you're playing you don't really have the time to stare at your champion's curves so it's not like it impacts gameplay. These ''sexy'' champions exist to draw a male audience, tons of other games and media do this (Anime, don't you hide from me i know what you're doing). If you're mad at the fact there's next to no sexualization of men compared to women then that's due to the fact most of LoL players aren't women or homo/bisexual (not saying they don't exist, cuz they do) so they don't need to appeal to your tastes cuz compared to the large majority, the money they'd get from hot male skins isn't as much as say a sona pool party skin

You basically can't design any woman for a game without them being sexist in some way. May as well go full out and make them attractive so at least somebody enjoys them

Exactly, the champions have deep lore regardless so it's not like they are just ass and tits

That's a weird phenomenon. While people who are aggressive at very tame female designs Vayne Fiora Diana Riven claim to care about the depth of these characters, at the same time their position on "she could be so much more" states that they believe that the female character does not deserve to be acknowledged and all her struggles are irrelevant because she is "too pretty to look the part".

So, it turns out, they view females as a pair of tits unless these tits are hidden in a way that they're not outlined at all or small. Meanwhile, male players just grab Jinx and go "Bombs and guns? Sweet!" or pick Illaoi and spam hentai jokes.

I hate those threads about sexualization that keep popping up in every game seriously.

Let the artists design their champions, bikini plate or characters how they envision them and stop with this kind of oppressive behaviour towards artists.

Also most men are sexualized in league too. Look at lee LeeSin He's practically shirtless with bulging trained muscles.
