Unrealistically beautiful women · 2:25pm Aug 10th, 2020
They seem to be making women to look like big burly men for some reason in mainstream entertainment? I don't understand why this is happening. Why are traditionally beautiful women or women that are unrealistically beautiful considered heresy today? While at the same time all the men are both super buff. Where is my fat neckbeards heroes?
And before you ask that I want women all to be soft and weak one of my favorite fictional women is Leela from Futurama. She is both strong and beautiful. One of my favorite fictional male characters is Fry from Futurama and he does not come across as a He-Man at all either.
And even if a woman is unrealistically beautiful what exactly is wrong with that?
Because if they use traditionally or unrealistically beautiful women, the filmmakers get accused of being sexist for not using realistic women, but if they use muscular built women, it's seen as 'empowering'.
They don't use fat neckbeards as anything more than comic relief or Redshirts because if they try to push them as protagonists, they will lose the majority of their female audience to the hypocrisy that is modern feminism.
They can get away with some scrawny/unfit male lead characters, but they can never take it too far without loss in the profit margin.
Of course, none of this is factoring in Independent Filmmakers or nerd-bait, but they're a whole other creature to the Mainstream.
Post-modernism is all about doing things "ironically". The fat ugly chick is ironically the super-popular one, the scrawny meek dude is ironically the super-brave hero, the Women's Lib 101 student is ironically better at differential calculus than the professor. Showing actually attractive women or actually masculine men in a positive role is classified as shaming those who aren't attractive or masculine or smart because everyone needs their participation trophy now instead of an ideal to strive for. People who actually excel at something through personal effort or hard work are frowned upon, while those who randomly succeed due to some quirk of the genetic lottery are pushed as the new normal.

They are technically discriminating against beautiful women there.
Despite the fact a lot of these ugly women do not tend to make money. I guess they don't care about the money they just want to virtue signal. Even as their business falls into the ground.
Fanfiction/fan art can be good here too. Super sexy happens.

It's kind of ridiculous really. They could easily write about a story about someone being fat and working to train better and lose weight or something. But no, they want someone to stay fat and never change, or never progress as a person. I lost a lot of weight due to my hard work and training. But by these guys logic, I shouldn't have even done it.

The worst part is that if they DON'T virtue signal, they get shouted down and pushed away by the ever-toxic members of the growing Cancel Culture, that wants everything they dislike banned, regardless of whether or not it actually has anything to do withe their views.
Slightly below average is now beautiful. That is how modern entertainment is now.
I think they’re trying to hop on the body positivity ‘everyone is beautiful’ bandwagon but it just ends up making everything, especially video games, look unappealing from a character aesthetic perspective. I remember the game Mass effect andromeda from years ago when they purposefully made all the characters very plain looking, to put it nicely. Even the character creator for the mc made all the customizable facial features unattractive. It, on top of the game’s terrible graphics and glitchy gameplay, made It so unappealing to look at.
Still, nothing is worse than the modern iteration of comic books. But there’s a ton of youtube vids on this so I won’t go into it here. Lets just say they should have stuck with the musclebound Supermodel looking folks running around in their underwear instead of what they have now.

Honestly, Liefeld's nonsense wasn't any better, from an "attractive people" standpoint. It just ended up looking silly. That's probably the best way to do it, go so far in a direction that it can't be taken seriously... or it was the best way, but now that the deepest fringes of actual extremism have something resembling a platform it's clear that reality will always have us beat in that regard.

That Liefield art was too far. A carticature of what attractiveness is, and a bad one at that. But, as long as one doesn’t stray too far from believability, does it matter if they’re hot?
If they want to keep making Steven Universe pilsbury doughboy looking blob characters or whatever the heck the new warriors that got teased recently are supposed to be, then whatever. But why does being conventionally attractive have to be considered a negative now? At some point, its not body positivity, its just reversing the paradigm of attractiveness.
It's the modern progressive movement. They want to get rid of anything that's considered traditionally feminine because women have to be equal to men. And by equal I mean exactly the same because so many colleges and politicians argue there are no difference between the genders. I think sensible people know that's not true. The genders are different. You're the one is better or worse they are simply different and we need to respect that.
Look at the abomination that is The Last of Us 2 for that answer...
Unrealistically beautiful... why does that sound oddly familiar...
Gettin' some flashbacks to descriptions of Albedo (a character in a series called "Overlord"), who has been described as "unnaturally beautiful" (and also happens to be a demon)...
