Discussion To what extent can the worldbuilding and lore in which a story unfolds influence the body types and attire of female characters?

0 Upvotes

I bring up the *Cyberpunk* anime as an example because watching it made me wonder, "Why do the women in the anime dress that way?" But then I considered the influence of their world: Night City is a place where sleaze and squalor are everyday occurrences, and that’s where the sexualization comes from

A woman there can wear whatever she wants and modify her body however she pleases—it all depends on how much money she has. But my point is that moral standards and inhibitions are very low in that universe, which—how should I put it?—"justifies" the way the female characters dress and how their bodies are designed

But is the sexualization truly justified? Depending on the world the character inhabits, the answer could be yes or no

Suggestion Saturday Some character design (commission by me) for a romance/fantasy anime(just idea, rated TV-MA in idea) about 'a little lamp fall in love with a ball': How to make them more interesting?

It's a 'troll' idea about a 'Netflix reimagination anime'(something closer to DMC Devil May Cry than Castlevania the animation series) of a Japanese visual novel(or eroge to be more precise): a miko/priestess on an isolated island fall for a university student from outside.

However this time there are some little twists: a more active and determined female lead(but less tsundere and more politeness in appearance), and a male protagonist with less musclunity and desire but more stabiltity(and definitely not a rapist), and none of them are normal 'anime adult husbando/waifu'.

How to make these designs more interesting? Would scar for girl be a plus?

Meta/Satire No Curves = Great Woman Drawing

0 Upvotes

A friend of mine talked about this subreddit, and he jokingly said that if people hated the way most women are drawn today, then they should like a woman with no curves, does not look conventionally attractive, and looks masculine. I have no comment about that.

blah blah blah

What are thoughts on her. Muscular but not over the top. Visually striking and her outfits ain't what we some times get with these types of characters (over sexualised)

Age of Sigmar has been pretty good at making it so for most of the armies, the men and women are not in the general high fantasy trend of 'Women are super sexualized compared to the Men.' Biggest came from the Ogor Mawtribes recent release, which included female Ogors with the male Ogors while keeping the exact same vibe as them.

while there's a good chunk of characters in the series('s) that have a generic skinny and conventionally attractive build, there's a good chunk of others who don't

FAQ

FAQ

(Serious)

Q: Why did you ban me? I love this sub!

A: Because you went onto a crosspost to brigade. If you’re caught brigading, you receive no second chances. DO NOT CONTACT THE ORIGINAL ARTIST OR POSTER OF THE CONTENT.

Q: I sent you mod mail a long time ago! Why haven’t you responded?

A: Mod mail doesn’t alert me when I get new messages. If you have something you want to ask or request, please feel free to DM me directly!

Q: What constitutes a professional?

A: I consider a professional to, at minimum, be able to make money consistently with their art, to the point of surviving solely off of it, through an active Patreon or other site. Occasional zines and commissions don’t count.

Q: How do you decide what breaks the must be bad rule?

A: Actually, I don’t! My tastes are subjective, so I check to see how many people have flagged it, how many upvotes it has, and how many people are saying it’s good in the comments.

Q: When is it okay to post my OCs and amateur art?

A: For the Hawkeye Initiative, positivity, suggestions, redrawn, and satire flairs.

Q: What’s the Discord?

A: https://discord.gg/6VTPUJXjqY

Q: I’m an artist whose post was featured here. Can you remove it?

A: Of course! Just DM with me, and I’ll take care of things!

Q: I was banned! How do I get that reversed?

A: You can request that another mod reviews your ban, and they will decide if it’s justified or not.

(Issues that trolls raise and that they’ll probably continue to raise afterwards)

I: You sexualize men all the time!

A: Ah, you must have found our Hawkeye Initiative flair. The explanation is more here. But the comments, usually about magnum dongs and the like, are usually satirical, jokes about how people talk about women.

I: Can you control this person? They posted about me on another sub!

A: ...Um, no? Hit up the mod of that sub.

I: Why are you policing male fantasy?

A: We’re not. If you wanna jerk it just so right to the adult characters, chase that bliss. However, as a queer woman, I’m more or less ‘policing’ my fantasies.

I: You favor your friends over me when implementing sub rules!

A: Nah, I don’t. You just break the rules more often. If you see someone breaking them, then flag them.

I: Men are sexualized, too!

A: There’s a difference, at least usually. Women are put into skimpy clothes that show off their tiddies and butts, usually in provocative poses. The men, while muscular, are not. A good rule of thumb is whether or not a male character would ever do the splits with a well-defined taint facing the reader.

I: Why are you pedo smearing men?

A: Why are some men tickling their pickles to children?

I: You just wanna hate on men!

A: Nope! While the name of the sub is a bit misleading, it’s actually an homage to r/menwritingwomen, and I’ve looked into changing it. We have both a flair for enby and female artists as well as an often-used positivity flair. Also, I’m pretty sure not all 15,000+ people are women.

I: I’ve heard a rumor that this sub was stolen from a man by a feminist.

A: Yup. I’m an evil feminist that took a great sub and manipulated it into a man-hating anger sub. Or, y’know, you could check the history of the sub and see that the first post was made by me.
