saying one is sexualized and the other is not is flat out contradictory.

its completely perspective based what makes your opinion or mine for that matter right for what is sexualized and what is not.

how about we let the artist create their work and we thank them for the free product we supply us.?
Are you seriously arguing that stripping, a profession that is ALL ABOUT sexualization and titillation, cannot be considered more sexualized than Spartan warriors? Because that's just flat-out ridiculous. Your retreat into subjectivity is entirely baseless.

This is not to say that Spartan warriors CANNOT be sexualized. If you want an example of that, look at Ruthless Pantheon in contrast to the default skin. It's entirely obvious what the difference is.

I'm not a fan of stripperriffic skins, but I can put up with the occasional obvious fanservice skin, and I'm willing to classify Ruthless Panth alongside Kitty Cat Kat and Battle Bunny Riven. It's the obvious difference in how sexualized the supposedly serious skins for female champions are that annoys me.

*****ing is more effective than boycotting for inducing change in games we like for other reasons.

His charm is entirely based on his clothes and style, Lee Sin is the only one that you might have an argument for, but he still isn't actually posing in a sexual way.
They are topless. Going by your argument if they make a topless female champion. She wouldn't be oversexualized cuz being handsome =/= being sexualized.
/sigh

Neither. They're presenting their bodies because riot designed them to portray their bodies.

If muscular men were not attractive, Chippendale's wouldn't be a multimillion dollar organization.

A few pages back I made a point that you're biased, and you obviously are. You can't claim to say "you don't know what I find attractive" and then immediately assume to know what all men find attractive.

Question, how would you feel about a skin of Riven in a sports bra? It would be extremely functional for a warrior like herself, as agile as she is, to wear on the battlefield, just as it is apparently functional for Lee Sin to go topless as a martial artist.

Judging by your examples, functional = unsexualized, and that's just not the case. I still want you to answer the question about sports bra Riven.

OP, just turn lesbian and continue your man hating.
Why resort to attacking me personally in an attempt to invalidate my argument? What am I asking for that threatens you so much?

There is such a thing as too much muscle. Ladies go see Chippendales, they don't watch Mr. Universe. Tryndamere is way past the threshold of what is conventionally attractive, which makes him more comparable to Gragas. If you can name a champion that has a chance of being a male fashion model and showing off their body, then you have a point.
