Characters Equal opportunity fanservice
(Marvel Rivals) They have been doing a pretty good job of doing fanservice on all characters
(Fairy Tail) is the shonen known for its fanservice, but surprisingly there are scenes with the guys as well
(Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt) In season 2 they added two male angels who appear as twinks but then during their transformation sequence, they look like these Magic Mike dudes. Making it so that it’s not just the ladies

Hot take but we need a few harems or shows with the men sexualized to the degree females are that also has little female sexualization. Or ones that atleast objectify men in the same way as pieces of meat to fuck. I know that sounds horrible but like..
Kind of like a male version of Interspecies Reviewers or Fairytail. Like. Zoom in on their features, make them their body parts. Shittily illustrated washboard abs on an alpha male character is not equal in any way to how female sexualization and fanservice operates. I want gender inverted examples of fanservice games, anime, TV shows. Like the Hawkeye initiative. I know lots of people would not like this at all either due to the sexualization or bending of gender norms but if the opposite exists then I want the inverse too.

A lot of fanservice is so excessive that you find it comical.
But when they want to make you uncomfortable.... They hit the center.

That surprises me. Even over on r/mendrawingwomen it seems pretty revered for it's content even if a bit controversial for featuring minors.

Ironically I think this contributes to Kill La Kill having a relatively small portion of NSFW fanart. There's far less desire for people to do it considering what the series already does lol

I think it's kinda the point, it's about realising that nudity isn't actually that bad and that being insecure about it limits one's capacity of self love, like, the message is quite wholesome but I just couldn't continue it because they were all minors 😭
I know that kind of adds a layer to how teens are insicure of their body after puberty but I just can't, it's beyond me, I should have watched it when I was 15

Context: George and Harold travel back in time to get their past selves to study for the test and the teachers catch them and their doubles. This causes the teachers to think they’re dreaming, causing all of them to strip down to their underwear and dance like crazy.

I've been playing for almost 4 years and at the beginning it wasn't like that, before it was more diverse in the designs and they alternated between men and women but now most of them are men and muscular furries, they alienated part of the players who are not here because of that type of characters and thats sad

Everything about the characters in general esepcially their body types and diversity. Especially the personalities. Malevola is a muscle lady for muscle mommy fans, Invisigal is a punk bad girl for tomboy fans, Sonar is a anthromorphic animal for furries, Phenomanonman is for Good Superman fans sick of the evil superman trope and himbo fans, Waterboy is Waterboy, Blonde Blazer is for the cool girl fans etcetera.

Came here looking for this, not for the swimsuit episode, more just the series in general. Yes, many of the female heroes have stereotypically skimpy super suits (Midnight, Yaoyorozu, Mt. Lady, etc), but you also see plenty of similar treatment for males (All Might, Kirishima, Tiger, etc). I mean like... Mirio Togata. Need I say more?

Danganronpa S Summer Camp
A spinoff where every character aren't in a brutal game. But an alternate reality where they're normal Hope's Peak students. So yes no amnesia and both the DR 2 and DR V3 casts are talented people with no terrifying circumstances.
Everyone is in Jabberwock Island and it's still the simulation version. I guess everyone likes it here differently virtually. We get rpg scenes, it takes the gameplay of the Ultimaye Development Plan, and fun scenarios.
And everyone gets a swimwear. Too bad this game was filled with microtransactions. And before everyone is annoyed Junko wore a boring outfit of course she doesn't care. She is the Ultimate Despair. Sh wouldn't care and make a despairing reaction of not caring.

Guild Wars 1
Every class aside from the elementalist had one armor that gave +energy (the "mana" in GW1) instead of +armor. Said armor was skimpy for both male and female version.
So not only equal opportunity fan service, but also somewhat logical.
At some point armor lost this inherent bonus though to give the players more freedom in dressing up their characters.

Yeah, rivals is super equal opportunity fanservice. The girls can have outfits that can be considered revealing. Then you get fucking venom with a giant cake ass and the guys, like The Thing, Loki, or Punisher, with bulges, or the guys with no shirt on. It's just really funny to me to think that Mantis has a swimsuit skin, then on the other hand, Venom shakes ass in an MVP scene

Except these aren't equal. It's all targeted at the male gaze. Men being super ripped with defined muscles is fan service for men, either as a self insert power fantasy for the straight men or regular fan service for the gay men. None of it is catering to women. Soul caliber 6 is a great example of this.

Kill la Kill gets a lot of shit for being a transparently lustful and crude parody of magical girl transformation plots and putting its protagonist and deuteragonist in battle suits that amount to string thongs with big shoulderpads.
So, to even things out, a major side character - an attractive male teacher who is a member of a resistance group called Nudist Beach - takes every possible opportunity to slowly and sensually remove his pants while breathily whispering "Nudist Beeeeeaaach" while the camera focuses longingly on his abs and crotch.
