I’m not a native english speaker. I’m sorry if my spelling makes my comments difficult to read.
I think I mostly understood the point by now.
(I still don’t get why the man would be uncomfortable with the alternative hypersexualization, since he already perceives the initial depiction as hypersexualized, but that doesn’t seem to be central to the point anyways.)
Ah, no worries, I thought it was some sort of weird mind games being played so I stopped trusting the sincerity of your posts - my apologies.
The tricky part you seem to be hung up on is that the guy thinks that the male characters are hypersexualized for women, but in reality they are more drawn to be the power fantasy of men - the ideal / fantasy version of themselves essentially. So when the woman draws an “actually hypersexualized” male character, it makes the man uncomfortable. Thus he feels, briefly, what the woman feels reading most comics most of the time.

You did understand their point, they just didn’t argue it well.
