Looking for specific male sexualization in comics (Read everything, please)

[ed2962]

It's funny. Posting homo-erotic pictures seems progressive and empowering.
But posting cheesecake girls feels more sexist and shameful.
just an observation

I don't know. I think if you started say "Cutest X-men girls" or "Hottest DC women" I don't think that many people would freak as long as you stayed away from like Greg Land porn tracings or some of the questionable portrayals of women in comics from say a decade ago.

Would some people have an issue? Probably, but I'm certain if you started a best children's comics thread in the Marvel boards some fans would be complaining that this is the thing that's ruining comics.

In all this bickering, nobody posted Mike Grell's Cosmic Boy redesign? Shame!

It inspired, decades later, the look of Legion Academy member Gravity Kid. The purple guy on the right is his boyfriend, Power Boy.

Needs more butt cleavage!

[ed2962]

Stop. Being. Unpleasant. Please.

At this point I believe now that the OP was looking for let's say "stimulation" material and was getting mad when we didn't read his mind. But I do think it's interesting how in mainstream comics it's easier to find say sexy straight men than it is to find overtly sexy gay men comics. I mean, it's not shocking because you know...society. But still...

"Tumbler has ruined comics!"

Not a butt pic but sexy?

Ghost Rider. I'm pretty sure this was from a pitch for an updated Marvel Swimsuit edition that didn't happen

To Kirby 101's point though, I'm kinda tempted to start a cheesecake thread...

The thing to realize is that both the objectification of women as sexual possessions, and the erasure of gay male sexuality have been tools of the straight male subset of the population to cement their power and strengthen their own egos.

So it's not that "funny" - it's quite logical.

While the erasure of hetero female attractiveness and the promotion of gay male sexuality are, of course, not all "tools" of certain subsets looking to cement their power and strengthen their own egos.

Dude.
We don't have the power. That's the point.

You have a president Trump and you still don't see that?

Go troll somewhere else.

It's not trolling simply to point out a flaw in your logic. You put forth a dichotomy between (a) the people who are doing things to "cement" their power and (b) the people who want greater representation, but you're neglecting to admit that the latter parties are just as much involved in ego-strengthening and power politics.

I'd add that I think certain of the latter parties have more power than you say they do. Some people use the power judiciously, and some don't, but nobody is intrinsically ennobled just because their side is the more marginalized.

Does there exist ANY officially published colored comic you can purchase a physical copy of out there with the following criterias:

* Male gay inclusion.

* Showing off any of the males' butt in a sexy outfit revealing skin on their legs and buttcheeks (similarly to how they usually do with female characters in comics). And it doesn't count if it's depicted for the sake of comedy - it has to be intentionally sexy.

Preferrably NOT porn. And I don't want something with just one of the criterias, but ALL of what I describe to fit. ALL of it.

Consider it a challenge. See if you can prove me wrong on this not existing.

I don't know if it's intentional, but you may want to check out 300 by Frank Miller. Also, it's not superheroes, in case that doesn't match your criteria.

I was thinking if it was a thread for both sexy men and women from comics, it would be more acceptable.
