| the-pi-guy said: Literally every piece of media exaggerates something. Explosions, characters able to jump 20 feet in the air, characters surviving impossible falls, impossible feats of physics in tons and tons of action movies. I would bet everyone's favorite action movie has something that is literally impossible to do. So why is the sticking point here a buff woman? Something that is actually physically possible, even if it's really really unlikely? We are playing a fictional piece of media of a fictional future where there are massive fungus zombies that are practically out of Dead Space that eat people and the sticking point here is a woman who is a little too buff? |
Of course, of course. My argument is simply that it isn't a realistically attainable physique without some extra aid, given her height. That's literally it. A lot of people have misconceptions about how muscle is built, especially on tall frames, whether you're male or female. Of course, there are exaggerations in games and movies, and most brawny Hollywood actors are juicing left and right to attain their physiques. Whether or not the game itself is trying to be realistic is kind of beside the point if someone argues that building a whole lot of mass on a female upper body without chemical aid is realistic.
I have no problem with it what so ever, I don't find it weird, unsettling or traumatizing, I just tried to dispel some myths about the human body and its capabilities. No big deal, to me anyway.
@Immersiveunreality: I wouldn't say that her chest looks manly necessarily, when the female torso loses fat the chest tends to take on a flatter and more muscular look naturally. A female pectoral muscle will look like male ones underneath the skin, they just lack the same average volume and are usually covered in more bodyfat on average. Look at most gymnasts, for instance, they usually have low bodyfat and have pretty square physiques overall, but I hardly think they look manly. Abby reminds me of gymnasts, only she's way too tall for that. Or perhaps more like a competitive swimmer.
