You typed my name wrong and that hurt T^T Call it even? ^_^

Anyways you know what I mean. I have stated it in all our discussions.

@Rainbow I agree, if it is displayed realistically then its fine, but simply for fanservice? No.

@Nick -_- Are you saying that American/European cartoons are more realistic? Go rub your eyes. Anime wouldn't be anime without the facial structure part, that adds cuteness and is what separates the art styles of different authors. And the ones which are more seinen themed and include horror are super accurate with body build and sizes. I can name a few. Well technically, some may have exaggerated builds, but good facial structures.

@Zero "Even in real life, some body proportions are unrealistic..."

* face-palm* You are just making a pun right? Let me explain something to you. The human body can turn out in many ways and there are many factors that can influence it, inherent genes and mutations within genes being the root. Now this mutation can result due to some accident or maybe radiation or some fault in the gene mixing but all these result in the so-called "freaks", now I find it extremely rude to label such people. They can't help being like that, they have no control of their bodies, and one should be proud of their body, sadly most people with abnormalities are shunned by society and some can't adapt well to their problem. I really want to befriend and help such people and there are many places where such people are made welcome and treated like regular people.

Now that that's out of the way, if you mean those shit people that use plastic surgery to satisfy their fetishes and weird tastes, those are a different kind entirely. They were born with perfectly normal bodies, yet they chose to disrespect that and get surgery. That drives me mad every time, and I even warned my friend who was going to become a plastic surgeon that if he gets too wrapped up with the money rather than with helping people, that I will find him and end him >_> Jk.

Some people just don't understand the pain of people who were born different or underwent some kind of weird change.

Long story short, the things you call "unrealistic" are indeed real but that depends, the true cases are due to abnormalities and defects, while the rest is the result of some sick minds. Luckily most can be cured with some therapy. Remember to donate some money for a good cause.

Talking about all this made me depressed about this world again T^T but anyways, now you all know why I dislike inaccurate portrayal of bodies in media and why I am against the encouraging of such things.

To future authors, if you are gonna illustrate/design people with the above average proportions, then please depict it realistically with showing obvious difficulty in having such bodies and the social discrimination of such individuals or if you don't want to touch on that, design your fictional world as one where those proportions are absolutely normal for everyone and no training is needed nor is it a discomfort to the person. Though if you do, then you have to put the "fantasy" label on it.
