Seems like if you come at this from the perspective that the artists are only treating straight men as their target demo, that’s what makes it “sexist” imo.
Hypersexualised depictions can be great fun, but if you’re only doing it for one type of person, across almost an entire industry (which was the case back then) that’s pretty arguably sexist.
By this logic, straight porn, and any advertisement for it, is sexist. Not everything needs to be for everybody, and regardless of that a drawing of an attractive woman on a cover shouldn’t detract the experience for anybody anymore than an attractive man or any other potential gender you’d like to portray.
Slippery slope, and not what I was driving at. Refer back to when I said the fact that an entire industry doing it is the sexist bit. If all porn was for straight men, that would be sexist. Individual works aren’t what I’m talking about.
I get that, but the point I’m trying to make is that it shouldn’t matter, I don’t get upset whenever I see a hunky man on a poster. I understand that a large part of the industry at that specific time where males were a vast majority of the gaming market were producing a lot of advertisement targeted towards their main audience, I just think that it’s a severe overreaction to call that sexist, and I especially think it’s an overstatement to suggest the “entire industry” was doing that unless you have specific statistics to back that up. If a women(or whoever) can’t enjoy the female(or whatever) figure, then that’s their personal problem, and would be tantamount to me complaining that the makeup industry is sexist because they don’t advertise towards men as often as towards women.
This is where you said it, also a bit in your comment before that, but moreso I was trying to make an whole point so I did overextend a bit compared to what you had specifically mentioned.
What is sexist it’s an android
Give one good reason why an android is wearing a thong.
Higher range of motion

Feels like you might have another person’s comment in mind, then. I didn’t say anything about what you’re talking about.

Deny this is sexy, you can’t
Who could deny the raw animal sex of a mass murderer with lats like grapefruit
