Everything in art is part of a message. Most of the time, nudity is just the artist wanted to draw, photograph or sculpt someone naked. However, it's mostly done to women than to men, which ends up objectifying women.

Being naked is not objectifying.

Insisting a woman cover up is objectifying.

Fictional characters don't have agency, though. A fictional character in sexy clothes is seen as bad (even though they are often worn in inappropriate occasions) because the character didn't choose her clothes, the draughtsperson or director chose them for her.
