    Blurred screen at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STuffFl6-jc&amp;t=2280">38:00</a>? Sorry for any frustration, but a clip from the Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball 3 trailer got the video flagged and restricted but luckily I was given the option to just blur it rather than just cut the whole section out of the video. It&apos;s only for a minute, and I would&apos;ve loved to have kept the original version, but the restrictions would&apos;ve meant that people without a Youtube account couldn&apos;t watch the video, so I&apos;m willing to deal with the lesser of two evils. Even still I&apos;ll try and post the unfiltered version of the same clip on my source blog post that you can find in the description as soon as possible, but if that doesn&apos;t work I&apos;ll try and work out some way of making it relatively accessible!<br><br>EDIT: The unblurred clip has been posted on my twt, if you want a link to the direct post &gt; go to the description &gt; go to the full source list &gt; it&apos;s linked near the top of the post right under tapestry image :)<br><br>And just quickly (I&apos;ll make a proper community post addressing this properly in the next week or so), but thank you for the lovely and overwhelming response to this video! I&apos;m trying to respond/react to as many comments as possible, going from oldest to newest, it&apos;s just taking a lot of time because there are so many (not complaining in the slightest!), so just a little pre-emptive apology if it takes me a while to get to your comment! 💜💜💜

    i think a lot of men believe that &quot;just being shirtless = sexualized&quot; because they themselves have never fully experienced the extent to which women are sexualized and objectified

    to answer the question, yes, sexualizing men does sell because i clicked on this video just because of leon kennedy in a crop top

    there&apos;s a massive difference between a character being sexy and a character being <b>sexualized as an object</b>

    I genuinely don&apos;t get what these people think &quot;sexualized&quot; means<br>Half of the male characters they complain about are literally just attractive guys with muscles. There&apos;s nothing sexual about that. Meanwhile, so many female characters are one step away from being completely naked

    As a heterosexual woman, dear God, most men have absolutely no clue about what &quot;sexy&quot; means for women.

    Honestly a really good example of how men aren’t sexualized like women in games is that one video of Catwoman and Batman’s animations being swapped

    To find sexualized men you have to go to the recesses of the internet, to find sexualized women you watch a blockbuster movie

    In short: Female characters design with men in mind, while male characters design with......also men in mind. <br>So they did not even consider us female gamer at all

    “Sexy men are powerful, competent, assertive, confident and a leader and a sexy woman has a nice face and body” this really does speak certain values in our society..<br><br>Edit: People are totally missing the point here help us out of this loop hole

    The tumblrsexyman archetype is proof that what a lot of women consider attractive in men is not what men think women are attracted to

    This is very similar to how most men thought women would prefer Thor, but they preferred Loki... hahaha
