The guys in the comic I read based on it wore as little, measured in inches of fabric. I would like to see sexual objectification equally distributed between the beautiful males AND females.
EQUALITY NOW!!!!
Sure. Functional clothing for everyone.
I'm just offended by how sexualized the woman here seems to be by it, to the detriment of her backstory and emotions.

Quote:Well, I didn't post it, and I wouldn't have because Deejah is TOO voluptuous & John is TOOOOO muscular IMO. There's a bit of a food shortage on Mars at that point.

Okay then. It's still kinda troublesome, you understand. That picture doesn't scream "feel my pain and abuse" like an emaciated imprisoned slave on death row would suggest. It instead says "lust over me and my unbelievable body that's perfect and desirable despite all I've been through."

There will be coverage in the movie though, PG13, remember?

Indeed, it did rocketh much, saw it 5 times I did. BUT, it wasn't trying to be much - I have hopes for JC of Mars.

Yeah, looks like plenty of sexual objectification for both sexes - maybe we should just enjoy it?

It's not just the clothing, but how it's used. Even in that next picture posted above, the guy is armed and striking a heroic pose, and the girl is behind him and seeming to recoil, like a damsel in distress, and you tell me now, as I suspected, that she becomes one of the warriors and that she is supposed to be amazonian.
A loincloth may expose a lot of flesh on the guys, but it doesn't have the overt meaning that pasties and a slave collar do.
I can see I'm not making any headway here, so, yes, I'll leave you to your enjoyment.

Byte- please read the first novel at least before passing judgement. Sure, lusty pulp fiction, but does it bother you when Tarzan's Jane wears a skin toga or bikini in the movies?
It's all in fun, M'lady!
