"Sexist means discrimination"

Not necessarily. It also entails prejudice, which is treating one group who has been systematically oppressed differently than you'd treat, say, males in general. I don't think anyone thinks you're sexist for finding the Total Drama girls attractive but people have obviously voiced concerns that the images you post and favorite are objectifying women.

I'm not going to say much on what I think since I really don't want any drama here but imagine if males were scrutinized and objectified in the media (and in real life) as much as women were. For example, what if men weren't allowed to be topless in public? You might think it's different for girls because they have breasts but those aren't even sexual organs... they're simply used for breastfeeding and society has sexualized them to the extent that they now need to be covered up.

Anyway, I'm getting a little off-topic here, but the point is that, from what I'm getting, people are annoyed because you're sexualizing women's bodies in an unrealistic manner. Imagine if men were only valued for their body and nothing else... I get that you're trying to appreciate the characters and their aesthetics but you're also reinforcing unrealistic body types. Like artists who draw Lindsay with super large breasts and a stick-thin waist? That reinforces radical Western beauty standards. In reality, her back would break or she'd at least have severe pain from the weight.
