MODERATORS
Then the people misunderstand what feminist theory is saying. It's not saying that it's bad to enjoy looking at attractive people's bodies or that there shouldn't be attractive characters. It's about the lack of diversity in the representation of female characters and the reduction on their role as eye-candy.
I thought it was more about the unrealistic portrayal of bodies in fiction (i.e. women being perfect because of plastic surgery/makeup and men because of steroids), therefore popularizing a body standard that is pretty much unachievable.
The comment that sparked this all was discussing about objectification more than diversity, as I said if it’s about women in movies being often slim and young I can agree, but it’s more due to famous old actors being mostly men and male fat/ugly characters being more “acceptable” to make fun of, in my opinion.
The eye-candy issue is also being less and less present because nobody likes one-dimensional useless characters and most modern movies try to give depth and/or plot relevance to every character, regardless of gender. It was a serious issue up to 10-15 years ago where you could exactly pinpoint who the movie was tailored to based on how relevant women were, but I don’t remember recent movies having that transformers-like female character archetype that’s only there to be sexy and get the main character laid.
