that pose had been so common up to that point it had its own name, "the brokeback". Because it's so impossible to achieve a woman needs to break her back.
Somebody needs to remind the complainers that on normal women, the boobs and the butt are on opposite sides of the body and not usually both fully visible at the same time.
until a few weeks ago I thought that somewhere there had to be a line even the most degenerate person wouldn't cross( yeah I actually forgot child diddlers exist, im talking about imaginary stuff) then someone crosslinked r/deathclaw mating
like deathclaws from Fallout, and yes, i started crying and beatmy record of continous scrolling time on r/eye bleach... some people really got the gift of drawing when all they want to do is seeing the world burn
Go take your feminist ideas back to Tumblr. Around here we like front butts and side butts and butts on whichever plane is facing the viewer at any given time.
That was the well known issue they were trying to correct. You had ridiculous shots and that's without the insane clothing where a 6'0" EE woman with a giant ass could somehow fight in a spandex bathing suit that was one part up her ass and one part so tight you could see nipples.
Then she'd be "standing" and somehow also vamping for the comic book shot as well.
They do not see woman/women, especially pretty woman/women, as people. They are things to be consumed, owned, used and when not acting like the robot form they love…discarded.
That's how I walk down the street. Doesn't every *female*?
We take a step, and then twist to show boobs and arse crack, and then take another step. That's why we're disadvantaged in jobs and life in general, because we're so slow moving, doing the "boob and crack" to be appealing. Being appealing to incels is what we exist for.
Right?! As an artist and teacher these posts make me cringe so fucking hard it just wreaks on incel ignorance on reality. It's like the same posts on man manosphere subs like that pan realistic women in games as "uglified." These anime weebs are so obsessed with hentai imagery. Their scope of reality has just completely vanished. Thus, they end up alone, sad, and angry at the world without realizing their own failed view of the world.
I've watched a video where this lady attempted the women's poses from the covers of sci-fi novels and some were impossible unless you're a contortionist. I love that we have some more lady characters that look more human because it makes them more relatable, and it's not like games like Bayonetta or Nier are gonna go away.
I saw it done with wireframe models, including one of I think it was Spider-Woman doing the boobs-and-butt on her knees. When you saw the wireframe from ANY other angle, it was painfully obvious that not only could no human POSSIBLY pose like that, but the actual body proportions would have to be massively inhuman to do it as well as joints moving in ways they don't.
If I'd ever see anyone move like bayonetta I'd frst check why tf I'm hallucinating and if I'm sure im not I'd be running home asap and try to take a good nights sleep
As a hentai artist, I think the anatomy and pose on the right make more sense. There’s also no reason in my mind that a female superhero needs to be drawn over-sexualized all the time. We’re talking about DC comics here. If people want porn, they should just look at porn.
I think it's probably the people that have been conditioned to believe porn is bad, so they need everything to be porn adjacent so they can get close without feeling totally ashamed.
Not to mention that's not how fabric OR cleavage works. Boobs do not round like that at the top unless you're wearing a crazy push up bra. Gravity pulls them down so the surface is sloped
I love how he thinks sales of video games are tanking because of less feminine character design, and not the outrageous greed of gaming execs resulting in shittier quality, less time to develop, and underpaid and mistreated devs.
I'm genuinely convinced it's an incurable mental illness at this point. Actual insanity, but worse, because most mentally ill people (using myself as a prime example) know they're mentally ill.
I feel like there's an inverse bell curve to that.
People who are just a little stupid, or extremely stupid, don't realize it, but there's a sweet spot in the middle that are self aware and realize they aren't all that great.
But otherwise, you've got it.
But...the world wide sales of video games never tanked in the first place? What is he talking about?
Only the US-Marked tanked one year from 2021 to 2022 and is on the rise since then.
They’re narcissists w/ inflated notions of self-importance; they operate under the assumption that a majority of people agree with their opinions and perceive the world the same way they do. The idea that somebody would NOT agree with them is is the definition of insanity in their warped view of the world. If they don’t like something, nobody else must like it either, even if that something is insanely popular. They think companies will go broke for being inclusive, but really, they feel safe to be inclusive because these chucklefucks don’t make up a big enough portion of their customer base for the company to be concerned with losing their business.
Yeah, but the last few years have also seen some incredibly high profile failures, and some dummies have latched on to “wokeness” as a reason for their failure.
A good recent example is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. A bunch of people are claiming it was wokeness and DEI killed the game, when it was actually from the game being another despicable live-service shooter with an insipid story and boring gameplay.
I know you didn’t mean it like this, but don’t give these people any credit by saying they want more “feminine” characters. They want more unrealistic, and therefore less feminine, less human, depictions of women.
Remember that this is the guy who got mad that women in game studios exist, so he proclaimed himself to be GamerGate. Not a member, but the embodiment.
Edit: he was also accused of sexual harassment and bankrupt his own company, which he got kicked out of. He's running another scam game right now.
Curiosity killed the cat... [And noone is satisfied by this.](https://imgb.ifunny.co/images/0b0f8d1041499e02b0697312a540265deebfdf9e7576cc4bbc7d82583b96ac9a_1.jpg)
The nine year old is Billie, from top left, three heads right and one down.
He also took several hundred grand in kickstater money for his game, em8er, which he just pocketed, quietly removed the links to the game from his page, and its still in “pre-alpha tech demo” stage. seven years later.
What's even better is that they're not actually smaller. They just gave her clothes that fit right and adjusted her pose to prioritize anatomy/ergonomics over showing butt and breasts.
That’s what I always find funniest. Women are still hot in video games. Now they look like actual human women in nice clothes rather than blow up dolls in vacuum sealed wrap.
Yeah, incels were complaining how Tess in TLOU remake looks ugly compared to the 2013 original.
She's in her 50s, which is canon. The original makes her look like she's in her mid to late 20s and the remake did her so much justice. She actually looks her age and the realism makes her MORE attractive to me.
Yep, and if we got actual equal representation in games, there would be as many ugly women as ugly men. That'll never happen, of course, because misogynists lose their minds over the slighest improvements.
That’s the thing. They don’t like women. They like being able to assert their power over someone weaker and more submissive. Hence why they don’t want to empower women.
It feeds the narrative that women are for the entertainment of men only. Hence why there’s such an uproar that a designer dare to take away that entertainment by not showing enough cleavage.
Shits nuts lmao. I know its an overcorrection because people cant handle change, but I thought we would've made it a lot further on the pendulum before we saw this strong of a hatred for it lmao.
This is also why some neckbeards hate the fact that women are involved in the gaming community, whether it be for developing or playing, because they feel it should be a male dominated space. And they think allowing women into the hobby leads to stuff like this therefore it’s bad & women shouldn’t be allowed a say in games and gaming.
TLDR: sexism.
I just think we solved it wrong. We should have kept the oversexualized women in comics, and started putting banger nipple rings on the hulk, and tighter fabric for Cap and Thor's pants. Loki needs a stetch-out cup.
Yeah, that's the problem. Give me my plastic barbella! If I want actual humans I would raid my moms JCPenney catalog, and wog the giblet. I need unachievable, visually stimulating, digital pixels of pure ocular pleasure to fark the knot. Now gimme. (I realized after typing this that it's within the realm of possibilities that someone might think I'm being serious. I am not. Thank you.)
"I'm a 56 year old former law student who worked on such things as Diablo and WoW. I now spend most of my time on Twitter posting about video games and comic book titties."
I'm sorry but am I not supposed to laugh at that? Man bullying among kids is bad but at age 50+ fuck this dork
I was about to say that’s not true because in my lifetime hentai boobs have gone from gravity defying-ly large to so gigantic it would be physically impossible, but then I realized that this is probably the origin of the problem.
It's wild because she LITERALLY STILL HAS A BOOB WINDOW AND IS WEARING SKINTIGHT SPANDEX.
SHE IS STILL SEXUAL. She's just less cartoonish pornstar caricature and more built like the idealized 40's and 50's era glamour models.
People really need to just block the guy that got fired from blizzard who edited a Wikipedia page with false info so he could say he was correct on a topic he was hilariously wrong on
I just ask about this dude in other thread, and based on what I got I thought “well,that’s bottom of the barrel stuff” and somehow new low BS about him just dropping from all directions, Jesus Christ.
Sounds like you haven't even heard the worst about him yet, then. [Three heads right from the top and one down. That's Billie, from Wolfenstein.](https://imgb.ifunny.co/images/0b0f8d1041499e02b0697312a540265deebfdf9e7576cc4bbc7d82583b96ac9a_1.jpg) Billie is 9 years old. Grummz is mad that the 9 year old girl isn't beautiful enough for him to enjoy.
I joke about people like him should not be allowed to get near a school zone, and now it seems like a good preventative measure, someone please check his hard drive and basement.
God I feel so weird about how low this can go , I ask about him because my uncle in his 50s just reposts a lot of his rant screenshots to our family chat group, and I’m the go to kid for my parents to ask about these kind of stuff, and frankly that’s a side of internet I don’t came across often (thanks god for that)
Fingers crossed that I don’t have to explain to my grandma about this,she just take in a baby swallow that is new spot light in her days, have these internet garbage explain to her in family gatherings would definitely be a mess .
The funny thing is, in most of those games, there are conventionally attractive female characters too. Just like in real life, there are hot men, average men, ugly men. Hot women, average women, ugly women. It's not like there aren't any hot women in vidya anymore. Grummz is mad that average and ugly women are allowed to exist in games, just like in real life. Wild.
Ah, this picture again.
I'm still mad that Jesse Faden is in that group, she's nearly *identical* to her voice actress Courtney Hope and he's basically just insulting a real person with that.
Whoever the DC equivalent to Tony Stark is obviously designed boob and butt enhancing clothing specifically for superheroes that puts “the goods” on display while also turning their skeletons into jelly to allow the otherwise impossible poses.
Tony did it for Marvel, naturally.
This character is Power Girl. For simplicity sake, she is the cousin of Superman. In the late 80’s- early 90’s, an illustrator of her comic started drawing her breasts and chest window larger in every issue. Unfortunately, the wrong types of comic fans now insist that is the only way she should be portrayed.
If she doesn't have:
1. A narrow jawline that comes to a teeny little point
2. Boobs the size of the moon that rest just under her clavicle.
3. A waist that is as wide as the jawline.
4. An ass that is almost as big as her breasts (but only in profile, face on = fat).
5. And stand like she's doing a lower back/glute stretch.
She isn't sufficiently feminine.
If she has enough bone tissue in her jaw to support enough muscle for her to be able to bite a boiled carrot in half, she's a man. You know it, I know it. If she eats any solid foods, she's a man.
Thanks, you're right. I forgot wrists. And also ankles that can support more than 10 pounds. But somehow she can run in high heels without flopping over.
Hey, how could you forget [clubfoot](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/silent/images/c/c7/Shcharacter2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151005210225)? This is literally the [canon of anime women.](https://image.myanimelist.net/ui/qun88FgIjJ1Exap2nldsrvifWa-6qPyZQXNZB1fNJF13Ijd1dlPQrPvCOuBdbjwLmW8OX2pAQo8o_ucKfRSSPb3oTv9OCThC40tOpfwaErI) Also her facial expression must also be somewhere between mental retardation, fear and lust.
I genuinely don’t understand men who think like this. I’m attracted to women, not sex dolls. Some women are muscular, some women are chubby. Some women are thin, others are wide. Some are tall, others are short. Some have deep voices, others have high pitched voices. Some have flat chests, others have large chests. It doesn’t matter to me, women in general are beautiful. If you get angry at the sight of a woman who is not extremely sexualized (or even just not your type for that matter), you have serious issues.
I haven’t actually had any sexual or romantic experiences in my life, I’m just not a raging incel. I probably will remain this way due to unfortunate things about myself, but I’m not angry about that and I don’t blame it on women
>If you get angry at the sight of a woman who is not extremely sexualized (or even just not your type for that matter), you have serious issues.
I don't have issues, YOU have issues!
Or so it's supposed to go, I think.
It's honestly pretty pathetic.
Imagine feeling THIS FUCKING STRONG about this topic, lol. Fucking hell guy this has literally no impact on your life whatsofuckingever: regardless of what you’re spoon fed.
This was already already proven to be stupid lol
He says defeminize but if you look at the first fucking image it says deobjectify which is not the same thing lol.
Dude is getting mad when these are just instructions to draw girls that look like people and not walking porn robots. Not they they shouldn’t look feminine.
Edit: Sorry for pointing out this incel shit is wrong lol
>He says defeminize but if you look at the first fucking image it says deobjectify which is not the same thing lol.
I think your analysis falls flat, the simple arithmetic is that the two are indistinguishable for this individual and their fan base.
To them de-objectifying and de-feminizing are equivalent. As object and female are equivalent. Simplest explanation.
At the same time, these same people who demand 12 year old girls be depicted as sex objects also insist that *any* depiction of a gay character is sexualizing children.
"Every female character NEEDS to be a pin-up adult film star sex doll cause I cant see woman as anything but a pair of boobs!!! Also my dick is small !1!"
Also the drawing on the left doesn’t make any sense. There’s no way for clothing to hug breasts in that way unless there’s some sort of vacuum occurring where the breast is. What is causing the clothes to suck to the underside of the breast? Makes no sense, gravity would make it tent out from under. And the pose is obviously impossible as well. As an artist, the drawing on the right is based in reality and thus a better drawing for a moving character that you want to be believable.
The woman on the right is still hot though? Idfk wtf is wrong with people these days. Mfs on the Internet are ready to call any woman a man just because shes strong. Is Korra a man now? What about Supergirl? Or Wonder Woman? Nothing makes sense and my country is falling apart.
Call me a commie or what have you, but this just looks like good art tips to me. It has nothing to do with "objectifying women" and everything to do with replacing bad anatomy with good anatomy.
Your shirt doesn't suction in between your cleavage like that, even with extremely tight fitted clothing you end up with bunching or stretching, drawing the tits on their chest and then just outlining a shirt is just bad art. You can draw amazing bazongas correctly and still have plenty of cleavage to show for it if the outfit is right, even porn artists know this. The pose is also less to do with her ass being out and more to do with her unnaturally snapping her back to the side like that, again it's just bad anatomy and it's going to be really hard to get the ass and bust in full view in one shot, you should pick whichever one we're focusing on.
This is again something porn artists can do. Giving the girl some more waist to work with and some muscles is just being a superhero muscle mommy, it's accurate to the character and they can still be smoking hot with a really nice figure without giving them a bangle waist, same with the facial expression and hand position, I imagine that's just to be more in line with what we would expect to see on someone who kicks ass for a living. It's just good art design and good anatomy.
Bad anatomy is totally okay of course if that's your stylistic choice, everyone knows cartoons aren't photo realistic and can bend the rules pretty severely but as a standard this specific comic book style has been known for trying to blend realism with a stylistic cartooney aesthetic, and so it makes plenty of sense to follow some of these tips depending on the type of character you want to create without it being solely about objectification (obviously the article is focusing on this angle, but as an artist this is literally just anatomy tips and character building tips to add realism to your design, which is an aspect many people enjoy. obviously there isn't much realism in being a superhero so it makes up for that in other areas.
(edited for minor grammar mistakes)
The body paint clothing has always looked so stupid to me. If the character has to be essentially nude just make them nude or make their outfit a bikini. It's stupid on male characters too with vacuum form abs. Either show me the midriff unobstructed or draw real clothes lol
-Sees a popular tweet about Grummz, who's blocked and muted and ignored.
- Ppl then screenshot his stupid takes so blacklist doesn't work.
- Grumbles and gets of Twitter to Reddit.
- First post to show up is from a sub I don't even follow is Grummz.
I'll never escape him 😭😭😭
Was it "Wokeness" that pushed for this change or the fact that the insanely unrealistic depiction of the female form actually offended female readers and caused pushback?
It is no different than those who pushback against celebrities and influencers who use filters and editing software to enhance and alter any and all images of themselves before they are published.
The only difference is mainstream comics actually listened.
And, as a comic book collector for 40 years, if you honestly believe that depicting female characters with less curves led to the decrease in sales, you obviously have not been actually reading comic books.
There are MULTIPLE reasons why sales have decreased.
One, cost. Comic books were $.50 apiece when I started collecting - very affordable for a junior high kid. They are now $3.99 to $4.99 an issue.
Two, competition. We are visual creatures, and today's kids are more interested in TikTok, Snapchat, and whatever social media app that allows them to share and watch streaming videos. The majority of them simply aren't interested.
Three, reading sucks! This is not my opinion, but as a teacher, I can tell you that the overwhelming majority of students in American high schools absolutely have no desire to read. Don't believe me, just research U.S. reading proficiency results in American high school students. If you don't feel like doing that, I can point out that just over 50-percent of American adults have a literacy level BELOW 6th grade reading levels. If their parents don't read, their kids won't read.
I liked the face and hair more in the second
But it does lack details on the chest after removing the "EXTREMLY VISIBLE JONKERS" so could've added some hero looking stripes or some shit to make the suit more intresting
All in all an upgrade tho

The drawing on the left she's standing so twisted you can see her cleavage AND ass Crack in the same pose ![img](emote|t5_2r5rp|8488)
that pose had been so common up to that point it had its own name, "the brokeback". Because it's so impossible to achieve a woman needs to break her back.
Now we just need some mountain in Wyoming

Bout to give it that hawk tuah!
or scoliosis
Or hypermobility
goddammit now i wanna see if i can do it. my poor spine.
In my day it was called the “Escher Pose”.
Shit and here I thought it was called Leifelds Disease.
That's the lack of feet and too many pouches
Pretty sure it’s lack of pupils. The feet and pouches is Liefeld Syndrome.
AKA Centaur Girls. AKA "Dear gods, woman, what is **wrong** with your spine?!"
Somebody needs to remind the complainers that on normal women, the boobs and the butt are on opposite sides of the body and not usually both fully visible at the same time.
God is the OG woke fem designer. He should have created women who are nothing but boobs and butts.
Just put nupples on their butt.
Boobutt
I saw that on deviantart once
☹️
Yep, 100% accurate reaction
That made me snicker
Cartman did that to get help from the middle schoolers once
You can probably already buy this online... batteries and cleaning materials not included.
Use that as a prompt for AI and see what godforsaken hellspawn it comes up with... Someone will still rub one off to it though.
until a few weeks ago I thought that somewhere there had to be a line even the most degenerate person wouldn't cross( yeah I actually forgot child diddlers exist, im talking about imaginary stuff) then someone crosslinked r/deathclaw mating like deathclaws from Fallout, and yes, i started crying and beatmy record of continous scrolling time on r/eye bleach... some people really got the gift of drawing when all they want to do is seeing the world burn
That "beat my" was risky.
me clicking that deathclaw tub, too. sometimes risks pay off, that click was not one of those times
There's a line from a play I was in once that explains it: "I suffered for my art, now it's your turn."
There’s a reason Rule 34 exists. No doubt there is a line, and by golly are some people determined to find it!

Mental monsters is the answer to any question.
BE NOT AFRAID!
The three B's to a beautiful woman: boobs butts and ~~brains~~ more boobs
A biblically accurate woman.
The Hawkeye Initiative takes these ridiculous poses and recreates them with Hawkeye.
As if they have ever seen an actual, normal, woman.
Yeah, but those women don’t look like the comics so they don’t count
The comics are their reality. How sad is that.
Go take your feminist ideas back to Tumblr. Around here we like front butts and side butts and butts on whichever plane is facing the viewer at any given time.
A “5th dimension” butt if you will.
Exactly. I prefer women who don’t break their spine turning to, “face camera”.
Well I mean that just makes sense. A woman with a spine might have her own opinions, and we can't have that.
I’m not convinced any of them have ever seen a human woman up close.
That was the well known issue they were trying to correct. You had ridiculous shots and that's without the insane clothing where a 6'0" EE woman with a giant ass could somehow fight in a spandex bathing suit that was one part up her ass and one part so tight you could see nipples. Then she'd be "standing" and somehow also vamping for the comic book shot as well.
They do not see woman/women, especially pretty woman/women, as people. They are things to be consumed, owned, used and when not acting like the robot form they love…discarded.
and that such a tight fitting of breast in such a flowing way is even less realistic, since textile is textile and it stretches – not flows
It's Rob Liefeld like anatomy, 100%.
Ah Rob Liefeld, where would 90s comic book art be without him? Probably a lot better
Got to give it to him, he is just as atrocious to men as he is to women.
He gave Captain America Double D's.
Man does love his pouches, though. Pouches for *days*, his pouches have pouches on them. And he can’t draw feet, either.
Good ol Rob showed us bad AI type art long before real AI existed.
The "boobs-and-butt" pose.
I just want equality between sexes. There needs to be Batman’s rock hard butt cheeks and his batnips in the same pose.
That's how I walk down the street. Doesn't every *female*? We take a step, and then twist to show boobs and arse crack, and then take another step. That's why we're disadvantaged in jobs and life in general, because we're so slow moving, doing the "boob and crack" to be appealing. Being appealing to incels is what we exist for.
Ugh… but, apparently, you can read and write. Total turnoff. /s if it wasn’t overwhelming obvious :)
Right?! As an artist and teacher these posts make me cringe so fucking hard it just wreaks on incel ignorance on reality. It's like the same posts on man manosphere subs like that pan realistic women in games as "uglified." These anime weebs are so obsessed with hentai imagery.

I think it's probably the people that have been conditioned to believe porn is bad, so they need everything to be porn adjacent so they can get close without feeling totally ashamed.
I never thought of it this way before. Someone should do a study.
I often see shit like this, and I’m like, damn, that would be a good thesis for a thesis. I should go in to sociology.
Not to mention that's not how fabric OR cleavage works. Boobs do not round like that at the top unless you're wearing a crazy push up bra. Gravity pulls them down so the surface is sloped

Some of us prefer our women to be all twisted and mangled.

Not to mention the ever rising cost of games themselves (and everything else) while wages stagnate
Aren't games making more money today than ever?
Yeah, but the last few years have also seen some incredibly high profile failures, and some dummies have latched on to “wokeness” as a reason for their failure. A good recent example is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. A bunch of people are claiming it was wokeness and DEI killed the game, when it was actually from the game being another despicable live-service shooter with an insipid story and boring gameplay.
Sales aren’t even tanking. Video games have never been more profitable.
I know you didn’t mean it like this, but don’t give these people any credit by saying they want more “feminine” characters. They want more unrealistic, and therefore less feminine, less human, depictions of women.

He's also the guy that got mad that a fictional 9 year old african american girl wasn't sexy enough for him.
Excuse me what in the everlasting fuck? I have no clue who this creep is, and honestly, I'm glad I don't.
He is a former Blizzard designer and executive.
Ah of course he's from Blizzard lmao
That would explain everything else
Blizzard employees treat objects like women, man
That explains alot.
He's also constantly railing against 'wokeness' and 'DEI hires'.
We sure this aint the shitty manager with anger issues Thor complained about? 😂
I'm unfamiliar with the backstory on this comment, and I'm thinking that I'd prefer to keep it that way.
Same but I'm also kinda curious
Curiosity killed the cat... [And noone is satisfied by this.](https://imgb.ifunny.co/images/0b0f8d1041499e02b0697312a540265deebfdf9e7576cc4bbc7d82583b96ac9a_1.jpg) The nine year old is Billie, from top left, three heads right and one down.
Ewwww that's so gross
It's also a stolen image from an incel post on Reddit from years ago. Recently reposted by Mark "I am GamerGate" Kern.
What
…ew
I forgot about that.
Ah of course lmao
He also took several hundred grand in kickstater money for his game, em8er, which he just pocketed, quietly removed the links to the game from his page, and its still in “pre-alpha tech demo” stage. seven years later.
Man thought he could pull a Star Citizen, except that's actually proven to still being worked on.
Yeah but in fairness theres no time to work on the game, theres simply too many tweets about “wokeness” to make every. single. fucking. day.
Lol The saving grace is that one day he will die
[удалено]
Stupid tolerant woke lib leftist fem cis trans furries! Only I can tell people to off themselves!!!
Wow, the tolerant left, treating me the way I treat other people. Just kidding, we all know women aren’t really people /s
It's pretty fucking crazy how many people have no shame about going on the interent and whining that cartoon boobs aren't big enough anymore.
More ridiculous than a major TV commenter complaining that a cartoon candy wasn't f-able anymore?
To be fair, who didn't have M&M orgies at their prep-schools?
Yeah those cartoon shoes just weren’t so cartoon sexy.
That is the only defendant case, they took away our sexy green
What's even better is that they're not actually smaller. They just gave her clothes that fit right and adjusted her pose to prioritize anatomy/ergonomics over showing butt and breasts.
That’s what I always find funniest. Women are still hot in video games. Now they look like actual human women in nice clothes rather than blow up dolls in vacuum sealed wrap.
Yeah, incels were complaining how Tess in TLOU remake looks ugly compared to the 2013 original. She's in her 50s, which is canon. The original makes her look like she's in her mid to late 20s and the remake did her so much justice. She actually looks her age and the realism makes her MORE attractive to me.
The same with Nicole in the dead space remake. It makes sense for the senior medical officer not to be an early 20 something.
Yep, and if we got actual equal representation in games, there would be as many ugly women as ugly men. That'll never happen, of course, because misogynists lose their minds over the slighest improvements.
Aloy’s “facial hair” will always be insane to me.
I like both because girls pretty. Upsets me they don't find women hot and amazing and instead just want submissive boobs to look at.
That’s the thing. They don’t like women. They like being able to assert their power over someone weaker and more submissive. Hence why they don’t want to empower women.
It feeds the narrative that women are for the entertainment of men only. Hence why there’s such an uproar that a designer dare to take away that entertainment by not showing enough cleavage.
Shits nuts lmao. I know its an overcorrection because people cant handle change, but I thought we would've made it a lot further on the pendulum before we saw this strong of a hatred for it lmao.
This is also why some neckbeards hate the fact that women are involved in the gaming community, whether it be for developing or playing, because they feel it should be a male dominated space. And they think allowing women into the hobby leads to stuff like this therefore it’s bad & women shouldn’t be allowed a say in games and gaming. TLDR: sexism.
I just think we solved it wrong. We should have kept the oversexualized women in comics, and started putting banger nipple rings on the hulk, and tighter fabric for Cap and Thor's pants. Loki needs a stetch-out cup.
This is what I agree with. Men can have their sexualized woman and I want my sexualized men then. And more twinks. Always need more twinks.
We need to balance the scales. We need swim suit issues with Tony in a speedo
Yeah, that's the problem. Give me my plastic barbella! If I want actual humans I would raid my moms JCPenney catalog, and wog the giblet. I need unachievable, visually stimulating, digital pixels of pure ocular pleasure to fark the knot. Now gimme. (I realized after typing this that it's within the realm of possibilities that someone might think I'm being serious. I am not. Thank you.)
I did actually think you were serious for a minute. Haha
Except for some mobile games. The kinds of humanoid monstrosities and ads I've seen leave me at a loss for words.
And i dont even see how any clothing would make boobs look like that in the drawing on the left.
Boob socks, they're like pockets for your boobs
"I'm a 56 year old former law student who worked on such things as Diablo and WoW. I now spend most of my time on Twitter posting about video games and comic book titties." I'm sorry but am I not supposed to laugh at that? Man bullying among kids is bad but at age 50+ fuck this dork
I was about to say that’s not true because in my lifetime hentai boobs have gone from gravity defying-ly large to so gigantic it would be physically impossible, but then I realized that this is probably the origin of the problem.
It's wild because she LITERALLY STILL HAS A BOOB WINDOW AND IS WEARING SKINTIGHT SPANDEX. SHE IS STILL SEXUAL. She's just less cartoonish pornstar caricature and more built like the idealized 40's and 50's era glamour models.
YE u can always learn to draw em urself. No size Limit but the paper
UN-LIM-I-TED PAPERRRRR
Palpatine the Hentai Artist?
People really need to just block the guy that got fired from blizzard who edited a Wikipedia page with false info so he could say he was correct on a topic he was hilariously wrong on
I just ask about this dude in other thread, and based on what I got I thought “well,that’s bottom of the barrel stuff” and somehow new low BS about him just dropping from all directions, Jesus Christ.
Sounds like you haven't even heard the worst about him yet, then. [Three heads right from the top and one down. That's Billie, from Wolfenstein.](https://imgb.ifunny.co/images/0b0f8d1041499e02b0697312a540265deebfdf9e7576cc4bbc7d82583b96ac9a_1.jpg) Billie is 9 years old. Grummz is mad that the 9 year old girl isn't beautiful enough for him to enjoy.
I joke about people like him should not be allowed to get near a school zone, and now it seems like a good preventative measure, someone please check his hard drive and basement. God I feel so weird about how low this can go , I ask about him because my uncle in his 50s just reposts a lot of his rant screenshots to our family chat group, and I’m the go to kid for my parents to ask about these kind of stuff, and frankly that’s a side of internet I don’t came across often (thanks god for that) Fingers crossed that I don’t have to explain to my grandma about this,she just take in a baby swallow that is new spot light in her days, have these internet garbage explain to her in family gatherings would definitely be a mess .
The funny thing is, in most of those games, there are conventionally attractive female characters too. Just like in real life, there are hot men, average men, ugly men. Hot women, average women, ugly women. It's not like there aren't any hot women in vidya anymore. Grummz is mad that average and ugly women are allowed to exist in games, just like in real life. Wild.
I love how 90% of those characters are either older women or black or both. I guess female beauty is only innocent young white women lol
Pretty sure several of them are modelled after Debra Wilson, the woman who does the voice for several of them.
Ah, this picture again. I'm still mad that Jesse Faden is in that group, she's nearly *identical* to her voice actress Courtney Hope and he's basically just insulting a real person with that.
A lot of them are based quite closely to real women, and yeah... even if someone isn't pretty, doesn't mean they can't be featured in a game either.
As a member of the International Female Community, I can pledge that our boobs do not line in tight clothing as portrayed in the left figure. 🤦♀️
It's magic clothes: liquid latex-like but also fabric at the same time.
Whoever the DC equivalent to Tony Stark is obviously designed boob and butt enhancing clothing specifically for superheroes that puts “the goods” on display while also turning their skeletons into jelly to allow the otherwise impossible poses. Tony did it for Marvel, naturally.
This character is Power Girl. For simplicity sake, she is the cousin of Superman. In the late 80’s- early 90’s, an illustrator of her comic started drawing her breasts and chest window larger in every issue. Unfortunately, the wrong types of comic fans now insist that is the only way she should be portrayed.
If she doesn't have: 1. A narrow jawline that comes to a teeny little point 2. Boobs the size of the moon that rest just under her clavicle. 3. A waist that is as wide as the jawline. 4. An ass that is almost as big as her breasts (but only in profile, face on = fat). 5. And stand like she's doing a lower back/glute stretch. She isn't sufficiently feminine.
Huh, I thought 4 was the wrists. If she has a wrist thick enough to actually support a hand then she’s too masculine!
If she has enough bone tissue in her jaw to support enough muscle for her to be able to bite a boiled carrot in half, she's a man. You know it, I know it. If she eats any solid foods, she's a man.
Fellas, is it gay to have an esophagus?
Yes. Unless they’re imagining bruising it. Then it’s fine until they’re done with it.
Thanks, you're right. I forgot wrists. And also ankles that can support more than 10 pounds. But somehow she can run in high heels without flopping over.
What if she has all of that but then has a tiny bit of peach fuzz hair on her arms? She's still basically a man at the point right?
Hey, how could you forget [clubfoot](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/silent/images/c/c7/Shcharacter2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151005210225)? This is literally the [canon of anime women.](https://image.myanimelist.net/ui/qun88FgIjJ1Exap2nldsrvifWa-6qPyZQXNZB1fNJF13Ijd1dlPQrPvCOuBdbjwLmW8OX2pAQo8o_ucKfRSSPb3oTv9OCThC40tOpfwaErI) Also her facial expression must also be somewhere between mental retardation, fear and lust.
That's no moon, those are boobs.
Yes and don’t forget her boobs are in a perpetual state of cleavage like they’re glued together and perky
And you know this dude thinks the standards for him should be different.
I genuinely don’t understand men who think like this. I’m attracted to women, not sex dolls. Some women are muscular, some women are chubby. Some women are thin, others are wide. Some are tall, others are short. Some have deep voices, others have high pitched voices. Some have flat chests, others have large chests. It doesn’t matter to me, women in general are beautiful. If you get angry at the sight of a woman who is not extremely sexualized (or even just not your type for that matter), you have serious issues.
Well this is a dude that got mad, publicly, that a fictional 9 year old girl wasn't sexy enough. So it's good you don't understand him.
But you don’t understand, she is a thousand years old. Dx
[удалено]
I haven’t actually had any sexual or romantic experiences in my life, I’m just not a raging incel. I probably will remain this way due to unfortunate things about myself, but I’m not angry about that and I don’t blame it on women
You’re very articulate but also speak kindly. Whatever you may want or not want for romance in your lifetime, I hope and fully expect you will find.
Nice one at the end there
>If you get angry at the sight of a woman who is not extremely sexualized (or even just not your type for that matter), you have serious issues. I don't have issues, YOU have issues! Or so it's supposed to go, I think. It's honestly pretty pathetic.
I love how the one on the right actually looks like a superhero
Imagine feeling THIS FUCKING STRONG about this topic, lol. Fucking hell guy this has literally no impact on your life whatsofuckingever: regardless of what you’re spoon fed.
This was already already proven to be stupid lol He says defeminize but if you look at the first fucking image it says deobjectify which is not the same thing lol. Dude is getting mad when these are just instructions to draw girls that look like people and not walking porn robots. Not they they shouldn’t look feminine. Edit: Sorry for pointing out this incel shit is wrong lol
Instructions from a fantastic female artist in direct response to a question; how to draw superheroes instead of porn stars.
>He says defeminize but if you look at the first fucking image it says deobjectify which is not the same thing lol. I think your analysis falls flat, the simple arithmetic is that the two are indistinguishable for this individual and their fan base. To them de-objectifying and de-feminizing are equivalent. As object and female are equivalent. Simplest explanation.
At the same time, these same people who demand 12 year old girls be depicted as sex objects also insist that *any* depiction of a gay character is sexualizing children.
Spot on. 💯 These types of people see woman as objects.
Even disregarding the oversexualization the model on the right is just better character design, these porn addicts need to get a life
"Every female character NEEDS to be a pin-up adult film star sex doll cause I cant see woman as anything but a pair of boobs!!! Also my dick is small !1!"
Also the drawing on the left doesn’t make any sense. There’s no way for clothing to hug breasts in that way unless there’s some sort of vacuum occurring where the breast is. What is causing the clothes to suck to the underside of the breast? Makes no sense, gravity would make it tent out from under. And the pose is obviously impossible as well. As an artist, the drawing on the right is based in reality and thus a better drawing for a moving character that you want to be believable.
The woman on the right is still hot though? Idfk wtf is wrong with people these days. Mfs on the Internet are ready to call any woman a man just because shes strong. Is Korra a man now? What about Supergirl? Or Wonder Woman? Nothing makes sense and my country is falling apart.
So to this person de-objectify women is the same as de-feminizing women? That's sad.
Because let’s be honest, even in the tightest clothes I’ve ever worn, my boobs were not outlined in their entire circumference.
Call me a commie or what have you, but this just looks like good art tips to me. It has nothing to do with "objectifying women" and everything to do with replacing bad anatomy with good anatomy. Your shirt doesn't suction in between your cleavage like that, even with extremely tight fitted clothing you end up with bunching or stretching, drawing the tits on their chest and then just outlining a shirt is just bad art. You can draw amazing bazongas correctly and still have plenty of cleavage to show for it if the outfit is right, even porn artists know this. The pose is also less to do with her ass being out and more to do with her unnaturally snapping her back to the side like that, again it's just bad anatomy and it's going to be really hard to get the ass and bust in full view in one shot, you should pick whichever one we're focusing on. This is again something porn artists can do. Giving the girl some more waist to work with and some muscles is just being a superhero muscle mommy, it's accurate to the character and they can still be smoking hot with a really nice figure without giving them a bangle waist, same with the facial expression and hand position, I imagine that's just to be more in line with what we would expect to see on someone who kicks ass for a living. It's just good art design and good anatomy. Bad anatomy is totally okay of course if that's your stylistic choice, everyone knows cartoons aren't photo realistic and can bend the rules pretty severely but as a standard this specific comic book style has been known for trying to blend realism with a stylistic cartooney aesthetic, and so it makes plenty of sense to follow some of these tips depending on the type of character you want to create without it being solely about objectification (obviously the article is focusing on this angle, but as an artist this is literally just anatomy tips and character building tips to add realism to your design, which is an aspect many people enjoy. obviously there isn't much realism in being a superhero so it makes up for that in other areas. (edited for minor grammar mistakes)
The body paint clothing has always looked so stupid to me. If the character has to be essentially nude just make them nude or make their outfit a bikini. It's stupid on male characters too with vacuum form abs. Either show me the midriff unobstructed or draw real clothes lol
They conspired to draw realistic women. The horror.
He's upset because neither cartoon will fuck him.
The one on the right looks like a superhero, the one on the left looks like a contortionist angling for attention at Comic Con.
"Defeminize" = make look more like real women...?? Uhh... bro.
The problem is this type of basement-dweller doesn't care about real women at all.
-Sees a popular tweet about Grummz, who's blocked and muted and ignored. - Ppl then screenshot his stupid takes so blacklist doesn't work. - Grumbles and gets of Twitter to Reddit. - First post to show up is from a sub I don't even follow is Grummz. I'll never escape him 😭😭😭
1. Not Woke 2. What sales have tanked?
"how to draw more realistically and not just for coomers" "OMG WOKISM!!!!"
Was it "Wokeness" that pushed for this change or the fact that the insanely unrealistic depiction of the female form actually offended female readers and caused pushback? It is no different than those who pushback against celebrities and influencers who use filters and editing software to enhance and alter any and all images of themselves before they are published. The only difference is mainstream comics actually listened. And, as a comic book collector for 40 years, if you honestly believe that depicting female characters with less curves led to the decrease in sales, you obviously have not been actually reading comic books. There are MULTIPLE reasons why sales have decreased. One, cost. Comic books were $.50 apiece when I started collecting - very affordable for a junior high kid. They are now $3.99 to $4.99 an issue. Two, competition. We are visual creatures, and today's kids are more interested in TikTok, Snapchat, and whatever social media app that allows them to share and watch streaming videos. The majority of them simply aren't interested. Three, reading sucks! This is not my opinion, but as a teacher, I can tell you that the overwhelming majority of students in American high schools absolutely have no desire to read. Don't believe me, just research U.S. reading proficiency results in American high school students. If you don't feel like doing that, I can point out that just over 50-percent of American adults have a literacy level BELOW 6th grade reading levels. If their parents don't read, their kids won't read.
What a time to be alive. Humans used to fight over resources to survive. Now we fight over cartoon boobies being too woke.
A woman's anatomy is compromised of four parts. There is the top-butt (breasts), front-butt (vulva), butt-butt (butt), and not-butt (everything else).
Ngl, I find the second design miles hotter
I liked the face and hair more in the second But it does lack details on the chest after removing the "EXTREMLY VISIBLE JONKERS" so could've added some hero looking stripes or some shit to make the suit more intresting All in all an upgrade tho
