Sexy toys or sick people?

Sexy toys or sick people?

Asylum presented an article on dolls and action figures. An attack on female sexuality. The glib attempts at humor were insults.

The suggestion is toys inspire tingly feelings. Strange attractions to hunks of plastic.
Toys were displayed that the article claims were designed to elicit such shameful desires.
Sexuality being deemed shameful

Question posed by the article: What happened to sturdy, sexless Shera or the modestly dressed pink Power Ranger?
Sure, Cheetara was sexy, but she had some self-respect.
Stability versus sexy. Women not to be both.
The Power Ranger wears pink to label the gender role.
Maintains modesty showing no skin, while engaging in violence.

While we certainly appreciate the following toys on an aesthetic level,
we can't help but wonder if toys have actually gotten too hot.
What do you think? Can toys actually be too sexy?
The article presented the following action figure/dolls.
And a negative critical note for each.

Lara Croft: Her shorts are a little too tight and her shirt is a little too small.
Would you say the Tomb Raider is too sexy?

Only if you hate women. Here is a world adventurer, who is physically amazing.
But she should not be allowed to wear hiking clothes when hiking?

Invisible Woman: We've never quite seen one as shapely as this Japanese designed form.
Too sexy? Let's just say one of her super powers appears to be applying skin-tight Spandex.

Skin tight spandex, as does each member of the Fantastic Four.
Not mentioned, she is a wife, mother, scientist.
Equal to the Human Torch as most powerful member. And best leader of the team.

Samurai Assassin: Wiping blood from her blade may seem to be more scary than sexy
but dress her in a robe that doubles as a bustier and you've got a toy bound to turn a generation of into international perverts.

A woman climbing to the rank of samurai is ignored.
Slaughter with a sword is briefly mentioned.
The attention is her outfit!?!

Ivy from Soul Caliber: Up for debate, whether or not Ivy is sexy, depending if you think she looks more like
mid-90s Jennifer Aniston or David Bowie. Either way, she's gotta lose the whip. Those metal plates are murder when you've got sensitive pores like ours.

Statement so retarded is speaks for itself.

Response from readers ranged from only a toy.
To scary sexual repression. People were pointing out the sexy qualities of the dolls.
But quickly adding they did not see the doll as sexual although, the dolls should not be as sexy. Huh!!??

Maybe the Xmatch reader will offer an adult view.
