Everyone knows how to sexualize female characters in video games.
But how to sexualize male characters and do “fan service” for the female audience?

      That’s a you problem, it’s fine to use male and female when used together it’s when they’re mixed it’s reductive “men and females”.

      Just to spell it out: There’s nothing wrong with using “male” and “female” as adjectives (e.g. “male audience” or “female drivers”). The problem arises from using them as a noun (e.g., “females want a man” or “males are more likely”) which is a very reductive way of describing a person. It also evokes the way we refer to animals, which is, again, reductive.

      We are more than our respective genders, just as we are more than mere animals.
