Because you seem to ignore the reason for our dispute. In Western media, this is always an indication that a male character is very hot, so his bare chest attracts women like a magnet. In Japanese media, this always works even if the male character is not Dwayne Johnson or they are not yet close enough to the female ones.I did not specify that the men had to be handsome though. And female characters in Japanese media who react flustered to men undressing and getting shirtless are usually doing so because there's typically an element of attraction involved between the characters (regardless of how handsome the characters are), like I can't really think of any instance of Japanese media where the flustered character isn't implied to be attracted.
now that we know you're capable of predictions, we'll sever your head and put it in a jar attached to a robot.I'll accept my award now.
It happens in Western media even when the male character isn't built like Dwayne Johnson, characters be attracted to other characters even they are built normally, like prudishness is not exclusive to non-Western cultures.Because you seem to ignore the reason for our dispute.

I don't know why you're so hung up on this, but that exact scenario and similar have happened to me. One time when I was 16 I was mowing the lawn shirtless; my elderly neighbour was at first quite flustered, but then came over to touch my chest and flirt. Then I was flustered.I'm not talking about misunderstandings. I'm talking about when a man simply undressed, forgetting that there was a woman nearby and she was extremely embarrassed.
I’m "so hung up" on this because I’ve been being convinced of something for several days now, simply repeating the same thing, citing the same trope as an example, despite the fact that I regularly explain why this is not what this is about.I don't know why you're so hung up on this, but that exact scenario and similar have happened to me.

My theory is that Robin’s at it again and he’s doing all of this in the hopes of bringing back his sister.I came to read readers' new theories aaaand it's just two guys bickering at each other. Keep it private guys, just use dm...
You can take a look at the various entries for non-Anime/Manga media for these tropesI’m "so hung up" on this because I’ve been being convinced of something for several days now, simply repeating the same thing, citing the same trope as an example, despite the fact that I regularly explain why this is not what this is about.
So, example?
The first trope describes characters who are overdressed for no reason. The second is when an attractive male character shows a very developed athletic body. I'm talking specifically about specific cases where a female character becomes too self-conscious in completely non-sexualized situations.You can take a look at the various entries for non-Anime/Manga media for these tropes

Plenty of them involve shirtless guys who aren't framed as being some sort of hunk.
Also I wouldn't be surprised if many instances of what you consider a normal guy body type is actually considered attractive by Japanese beauty standards, like I would be interested in hearing your examples of this trope you claim is ubiquitous to Japanese media.
No, both of those tropes include examples of shirtless male characters in non-sexualized situations and/or said male characters aren't framed as "super attractive".The first trope describes characters who are overdressed for no reason.

You're linking to instances that have been added to the fan wiki to simply provide a large number of examples, which is something TV Tropes has always suffered from. And even so, you don't give examples directly. The tropes you mentioned literally refer to either the more general cases of a character being naked for no reason, or of an attractive male character getting a scene without tops of his clothes. And please, there is no need to come up with additional conditions in advance to artificially limit me. I already gave you the example of Blue Box long before Chinatsu started seeing the MC as a guy. But you ignored it. Okay, this debate is going nowhere, I'll just end it. I’m not going to waste endless time arguing for the sake of arguing when no one is even trying to listen to me.No, both of those tropes include examples of shirtless male characters in non-sexualized situations and/or said male characters aren't framed as "super attractive".
Anyways, I would like to hear your examples of instances where a female character in Japanese media becomes flustered by a male character taking off their shirt and said situation is non-sexualized and/or the male character wasn't framed as attractive to the flustered female character.
