That's what a kink-shamer would say. Also, everyone has their own definition of chubby, curvey, skinny, etc.
I don't understand why you compare drawn characters to real people. You can draw a girl with thick thighs, a big butt/tits, add a belly and she will look x10 times better than a real person with the same body proportions.
Well, if reasoned opinions non judgementaly exposed now qualify as shaming, I think the professional offended (from social networks and the like) have reached their goal: to make it impossible to debate.
I agree body-types qualifiers don't come with an accurate measuring tool. So instead of proposing some BMI BS (if I recall, people discussed this very topic some pages ago), I showed an obviously, unquestionably and medically overweighted
real woman to illustrate what I was saying about overweight. Precisely because, by definition, reality is what words are based on.
In contrast, art only tries to reproduce reality (at most) and many artists deliberatly choose not to, ignoring body proportions, etc. So it would have been pointless to post, let's say, Shiin's work when discussing human body...
Oni, on the other hand, used to drawn in semi-realistic style in this game, in accordance with the original series - I use past-tense because Gwen is completely out of style when compared to the rest of the cast.
So his characters are supposed to be at least plausible - and here lies my problem with the Squirrel...
Bro, I dislike Squirrel Girl as much as the next guy here, but she's not fat. Look at her belly, it's flat.
She's just very thick and wide like Putin. And ugly.
Exactly. She looks like some Frankenstein's creature: the parts don't match. Few real women would combine such thickness in some areas and such fitness in others. As I said above, such blatant disrespect for human anatomy and physiology wouldn't bother me in art where this is standard (like all the expansion fetish comix) but it isn't supposed to be the case in
R-L: E. That, plus her overall uglyness (that... face...
), lead me to classify her among the eldritch abominations.
How do I meet Squirrel girl?
Go to R'lyeh.
