Would having more normal body types for female characters be nice?

@fallout45
These posts are all hypocrtical. KGBATCHI has female characters like that because the target audience is women hence all the design focus is on the men. In female targeted series especially modern shounen, the character merch for female characters don't ever sell so there is no need to make her interesting or target men.
Your post is just braindead becaause you don't understand how demographics work at all but think you can comment on it. For example Jujutsu Kaisen is literally for the female gaze hence Gojo and the fujo pairings.
Of course if you're female you wouldn't like male targeted things but you act like you're forced to watch those when nu shounen literally pander to women from haikyuu to jjk to kbatchi like what?
And no one makes posts trying to change female targeted media but you guys literally cry about things for men DAILY.
And anime has never had """""""""realism""""""" in mind for 80 years.

@deltahalo241 they are literally minor characters that no one gave a shit about,
chu chu for example wasn't designed like that and she had a very large focus on the merch side. That faux realism means nothing if the entire cast are whales but the intended product (yuri for male audiences) is given by the bucketload and otakufied as fuck

@faleagum
most of these were literally designed to appeal to otaku tastes especially elves which are fictional stand-ins for japanese fetishisation of white women

I think it would be pretty nice to see. One minor detail that I liked in Gundam: The Witch From Mercury was how normal the characters in Earth House were. A variety of body-types and they weren't overtly sexualized either.

I don't watch anime expecting fan service, waifu, nor motherhood.
Instead of what is normal, I'd humbly address what is plausible.

Sumireko from «Kaii to Otome to Kamikakushi.»
She is a 28-year-old woman working at a bookstore who has not given up on the literary world she dropped out of. Her sloppy lifestyle is evident in her body shape. Her body, made of alcohol, lack of exercise, laziness, and compromise, is the physical evidence of the mental setback that has always haunted her.
When she accidentally encounters an apparition, in exchange for the pain of transformation, she gets a way to rejuvenate her body to that of a budding girl writer, and she expects a chance to make her debut again. Her young body is depicted as slender, but it is not girlishly attractive, nor is it neutral. Rather, it is a figure that has been stripped of its fried batter.

This story needs a character model that is not aesthetically pleasing but raw and sweaty, nevertheless a beautiful lifeform. This is an example of big tits that are neither filled with air nor milk but just useless fat, which is why they are uniquely present.

It would be nice, and it would be even more nice if they explored different body types for male characters too. Variations and diversity in character design is an underrated element for both creativity and marketing appeal in anime... I think that's a large reason why I liked dead dead demons dededede destruction.

But yes, also I'm not into the hypersexualization of female characters specifically.

@Dienen Nah. I'm going to need someone else to weigh in here, what the fuck is this stupidity I just read?

Any sentiment involving the phrase "dressed appropriately" immediately loses me. That's an intrinsically conformist notion.

I dont mind flat chested girls... just dont make them a loli or short. I'd prefer if they're tall but it's fine if they're of average height. And don't ever use one piece waist line.

fuck off back to reddit where you belong, you biden voting piece of human garbage

@deltahalo241

I thought the same.

Also I realized how weirdly thin the characters look in AOT 1-3, even the adults. Plus they are soldiers, they should look like that. Season 4 did a much better job.

@LittleOwlbear The character designs before MAPPA took over was good and they ruined that. Literally nobody looks attractive anymore.

@rodmanii For fucks sake...Why does someone always have to make shit political.? If things were that black and white, I would expect the "conservatives" to be the ones up in arms about sinful nudity.

@FanofAction they arent, the only ones censoring any form of media in order to "proTEcT VagiNas" are the subhumans voting democrat

As long as design emerges from a voluntary decision to explore new creative horizons, rather than as a moral obligation to anyone, then I don’t mind seeing different body types. But as a man who is openly attracted to attractive women, I will naturally favor bodies that I find attractive. Is it really wrong to have preferences?

On another note, Japan has much lower obesity rates than the United States. I don’t believe that their depiction of what is considered 'normal' should be expected to align with the standards of other countries.

A girl like this—who actually appears frequently in anime—represents a pretty typical body type.
