Because it's a normal, common interaction among humans, not particularly charged politically if there's no power relationship between the two people. This guy is not asking for nudes to an intern, for instance.

Public exhibition of sexual desire is acceptable in most contexts. If there's a topic of sexism, it is in the fact that men doing this is more acceptable than women doing it, but this should be addressed by removing the stigma from women doing it rather than adding stigma to men doing it.

But more generally, the policing of celebrities personal behavior to conform to strong social mores is a mostly protestant thing. In other cultures, especially before modernity or globalization, fame allowed you exactly to escape the commonplace social mores because you were outside of the community. Taking celebrities as role models and therefore asking them for moral behavior is a very American thing to do, even though after WW2 this system has been pushed throughout the world.

Pathetic maybe, but being pathetic is still not wrong. Creepy I wouldn't say so. Creepy implies an indirectness and second motives: here he's being very direct and his motives are clear.

I don't ask for nudes, because I have no particular interest in nudes and I prefer when they are sent spontaneously. But I deliberately post horny memes on main, where I have professional contacts, to fight against cringe culture and sex-negativity.

Uh I'm not American but I still think ASKING women for nudes is pathetic and creepy

You might not be American, but you're puritanical enough to fit right in in Salt Lake City. The only thing pathetic is being so sexist as to view sharing nudes as diminishing the woman who shared them somehow, which is the only way in which you could see it as demeaning to ask for nudes.

You aren’t entitled to women’s bodies

Asking isn't entitlement. Demanding might be, but asking absolutely never is.

But you aren't entitled to a sexless, sterile, boring world just because you've rotted your brain away with TikTok level gen Z pseudofeminism. Most adults enjoy sex, and will even talk about it occasionally. That's not predator behavior, even if it's a straight dude doing it. Fuck all the way off with your bullshit puritanism.

So, to be absolutely clear: you believe a blanket invitation to women to send nudes is sexist?

Edit: nevermind. You answered that very clearly in another reply

You are a fucking child and your opinion is worth less then the dog shit I scraped off my boots this morning. There is nothing. Inherently sexist about horniness, even when it's a cishet man being horny. Fuck your stupid puritan ideals and the sexless future you want to create.
