I didn't see Alita or Tomb raider in cinemas for one very specific reason, and Anna, being a compadre in creative media, will very likely agree. Anime/manga and games ALMOST NEVER translate well into other media formats.

Yep, and let's not forget the misogyny and male gaze that seeps through most of game culture and manga/anime. It's no wonder women don't flock to watch those movies in the same manner they do with movies where female characters are treated as equal to male ones. Go figure.

No. There is a reason why gaze of any kind is on the decline. You can thank us media types.

It's really not. And nobody is advocating for people to specifically cover from head to toe. What we're advocating for is to give people their own choices, and let them make their own decisions about their own bodies. Not for anybody else's gaze, but for themselves.
