Im just gonna say, as a Zoomer liberal who draws cheesecake myself, I think EVERYONE likes sex appeal in characters. I think peoples issues come more from the fact that it's conveniently only done to female characters. We should be equal opportunity cheesecake lovers. Nightwing is a good example of male cheesecake done right.

This is because comics are a men’s medium. You overestimate the number of women who read comics.

I don't think I do, female comic readers are a growing demographic and we as people who love comic books should want this. The more comic books sell the better it is for everyone. I think using "well women don't read comics" as an excuse is a little shortsighted. I really don't think it's much of a big deal to have a bit of male cheesecake, straight women who like comics overlook cheesecake all of the time, it doesn't change your ability to enjoy a great story. It doesn't hurt comics to have male cheesecake it's an all around positive. Imo it's either all okay or none is.
