to add some context:
the manhwa has sci-fi elements with humans capable of gaining supernatural powers. most characters have supernatural powers. the male main characters wanted to beat people up to get resources.
turns out the first "guy" they tried to beat up wasn't a guy, it's a woman (the manhwa barely portrays "strong" female characters except for a scarce few).
and of course the only woman these super strong men have seen after spending years in a place where almost everyone has crazy powers is... one who's weak and begging them not to hurt her.
plus, the first thing they say about her is that she's super hot! of course!
and of course she's been drawn in a completely different artsyle
I mean, if you're gonna loot people, at least don't discriminate on the basis of whether they're a man or not. beating a man up isnt any less of a shit thing to do than beating a woman up (in normal circumstances where the stake isnt survival).
they would've had no problem beating the shit out of a random man without feeling attracted to him (yes, they were insinuating that they were attracted to her because she's a woman in the rest of the chapter).
don't get me wrong, i absolutely LOVE the worldbuilding, characters and artstyle of this manhwa. i adore the main characters and their friendships with each other. most elements in this story are pretty unique and well planned and executed. but the way women are portrayed is so off putting for me.
plus, it's a world where people can gain powers, but most of theā women (except for very few of them: like Kali) are still portrayed as 'weak' after gaining powersā. the artstyle beautifully shows 'ugly' male characters but the female characters don't have the privilege to be drawn ugly.
