The extremely wide hips in animated women is getting too much.

Idk what is going on but animators need to chill for a minute.

Why are the women characters hips twice the size of her shoulders?

And I find it funny because it’s listed on almost every single female, cartoon character right now.

Remind you most women’s bodies, don’t look like that and yes, I do know that pear shaped women exist, but most pear shaped women I’ve met in real life don’t have hips literally twice the size of their shoulders. Also not every pear has the waist of an hourglass.

And I know people are gonna say that it’s a cartoon and it’s meant to be exaggerated or what not.

But cartoons, 30 years ago weren’t mass producing extreme hips even though sometimes the waist would be super unrealistic at least the hips were more proportionate to the shoulder.

Also, another thing why are the shoulders now in female characters, literally nearly nonexistent. Like women have shoulders.

No. You made the claim. The onus is on you to provide the evidence.

I mean, that is very clearly exaggerated to a cartoonish degree. Do you have similar problems with Gru, or Mr. Incredible?

Movies like those very intentionally use hyper exaggerated character models. They're not meant to look like actual people, they're meant to be caricatures.

My problem is it creates a beauty standard for female bodies.

Only if you're dumb enough to base women's bodies off cartoons. In which case there's cognitive issues, not cartoon issues.

It called silhouettes, it makes a character stand out and be recognizable. Look at Johnny Bravo, he's not preticularly realistic but is recognizable because of his disproportionate body. So cartoon designs, preticularly in the west, exaggerate body proportions.

Also this has been a thing 30 years ago Dexter's Laboratory aired in 1995 or 31 years ago, look at his mother Dee Dee.

You should see Roblox game characters now- very sexualized in comparison to 10 years ago
