He's fully clothed and already has muscles. Why does his sword strip him of his clothes? Does nudity give him power? I am so confused.

 

[LoV]

What's with the anti-masculine thread, bro? You scared of some manly pecs?

 

[bender]

respect the cock

[MetalAlien]

Go dancing, get in yer hot clothes.

 

[Plies]

Cartoons back in the day carried some very perverted subtext.

We're just now figuring this out as adults.

MMO rules of item level. It's not just a modern invention.

And knowing is half the battle.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Because it's the ultimate form of male empowerment.

 

[bitbydeath]

Nudity gives everyone power.

Didn't work with She-Ra unfortunately.
True answer IIRC is that He-Man came from a failed Conan the Barbarian toy line project, so whatever they did they had to come up with a muscular shirtless hero wearing furry underwear.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

He-Man was a big advocate for gay rights.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

You are seeing it the wrong way.

Not having his power activated puts a muscular manly barbarian into a gender confused dude in purple and pink clothes.

 

[Sybrix]

I am so confused.

Have you had this feeling for a long time? Or just since seeing He-Man's manly pecks?

The original name was actually going to be "The-Man", and so a virtually naked, massively ripped figure was the best way to make sure there was no confusion about it.

 

[GymWolf]

Same reason why ken shiro do the same, clothes limit movements during combat (nah it just looks cool to show the muscles)

 

[Kamina]

Dont you remember that one episode where he cock-slaps Skeletor?

 

[OmegaSupreme]

"Male power fantasy" is the usual line I hear whenever a muscular man who isn't gay is on screen.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Equality.

 

[ZeroZeroQuatre]

He's the original Bayonetta : he's always naked and his hair power materializes as clothes.

you are confused? so you are saying you are curious? I hear what you are saying, I support your life choice...

 

[Woo-Fu]

They didn't have stretch fabric tech in that universe. Imagine if The Hulk didn't have magic pants.

 

[Ballthyrm]

No Slut Shaming !

Showing skin = Having confidence

If you're Chad, you wouldn't be ashamed of your body.

 

[Porcile]

I'm pretty sure Prince Adam is a gay icon.

How do you explain bow with his porn stache in She Ra?

 

[Goro Majima]

Those sexists are obviously catering to the female gaze like always

Does images of him make things move in your pants ?
