we know what they mean when they say exaggerated body proportions ie no Curvy Women
I don't agree with that interpretation, Women can be curvy and yet remain proportional.
would this exaggerated body proportions also include Obese and Ripped body types as well for Women?
nothing suggests that this is the case.
This seems to suggest that they only have a problem with one which is stupid
To me, it suggests they ask their dev to be more mindful of how they display female characters, it is not suggesting they have any problem with any sort of realistic female character design.

I just assumed it was because of the Sweet Baby inc, thingy.
MS doesn't want any blowback on them, so their toein the line, so to speak, and asking devs to be carefull.
EpicRandy, I feel like your mis-reading things, by being so litteral. Seeing the world through rose coloured glasses so to speak.
EspadaGrim hit the nail on the head imo.
its just gonna result in "not normal proportional women", but ulgy ones in games :p
Its like its a sin to have beautifull models in games, or them being sexy.
Ignoreing the fact that like 90% of the gameing audience is male, and enjoys it.
You have a very vocal minority that seems to dictate what is acceptable or not.... and usually "sexy woman" is a no no.
So ontop of the current drama, with the sweet baby inc stuff (which really is overblown, a list that shows which games they worked on, so people that dislike forced political messages in games, can choose not to buy said games... meh), you get comments like "carefull about womens proportions".

Tbf, a lot of the blowback Sweet Baby Inc received could've been avoided if they had just not said anything. You had the Steam Curator make the list on Steam and instead of just letting it blowover, SBI employees, including one of their Directors, brought it to the limelight and very vocally tried to get the Curator banned (but Valve sided with the Curator because he didn't break any rules) and it's led to the point that it is now.
Many today are just so easily offended that they feel like they have to say something in response regardless.
I do wish we would just get to a point of focus on making great games! Gaming is such a creative led medium and trying to tell everyone on what they can and can't do has never gone down well historically. How a character looks doesn't have anything to do on whether or not a game is going to be good or bad, so why try to advise on something like that?
