Oh, you didn't know?

When a man is portrayed in a sexualized way it's "homoerotic", because the viewer is ALWAYS assumed to be male.

HAHAHA, actually when I first heard about Diana I was really, really excited, I wanted her to be exactly like Dianna Agron. You guys blew it out of the water though, I loved the direction you went with the lore, style and everything, I love everything about Diana.
I also love how she's so independent and brutal yet you can't help but feel sorry for her, there's a lot of vulnerability there which is really interesting. I think she's one of the few champions (not just female) that aren't so one dimensional.

Look at her, she's so elegant, graceful and classy (and independent). Female champions don't need to be ugly, androgynous, too old, too young or scared/shy to not be overly-sexualised, they just need to not be overly-sexualised if that makes sense. I'm definitely not saying that we shouldn't have those kinds of champions I listed above (diversity is great), I'm just saying that there can be beautiful, yet classy women.
Implying that any of the female champions is not self dependent. They're all self dependent with I ain't need no man mentality, tough, cold blooded murders. I thought the problem was the way the dressed or their similar body types.

I'd be cool with that. Do you have any idea how many Leona skins there'd be?

Another posting amongst many in this thread that shows the poster's biases and not any actual fact. No, when a man is portrayed in a sexualized way it is not always viewed as 'homoerotic'. When men are perceived as being in a role that is not a traditional one associated with strength, manliness, confidence, etc, it tends to draw conversation about such things. But there have been many, MANY men portrayed in sexual fashion in the real world and not everybody runs around shrieking about them being gay. If they do, again, it suggests more about the critic than it does about the artwork involved (be it fictional or not).

Lulu is centuries old and is a sorceress and a support. :3
