#but this isnt a blog on feminist theory lol
Note
I'm not bitching about any specific manga/anime/mangaka, nor this is bother me that much and I totally understand that everyone have the right to draw what/how they want. It's a thought/thot. It's just me or mangakas (not hentai) have tendency draw/make plus size/chubby/fat people ugly, bloated or uncanny? Like there are normal drawed characters, such Major and other males, but chubby woman often get the short end of the stick.
There are always exceptions to the rule but your average mangaka rarely draws chubby women at all and when they do it's usually to make them the butt of a joke. I actually like Big Mom from One Piece since iirc she's never made fun of specifically for her weight lol
That said, a mangaka who draws chubby women/girls favorably isn't always good for it. Oshiete Galko-chan has Nikuko, who is a chubby athlete. Unfortunately the mangaka turned out to be a gigantic nonce with so much CSEM that the cops suspected he might be intending to distribute, which outweighs literally any positive things I could say about his work.
BNHA has Fatgum who's a man, but if he were a woman I guarantee she'd be oversexualized and fetishized the same way some freaks sexualize Miruko due to her dark skin. The double edged sword of women representation is there's always gonna be people who complain about it, people who jack off to it, and people who do both. And by people I 99.9% mean certain men
I like the Zero Squad lady in Bleach that is a chubby woman, but she's also able to use her powers to shape-shift into a sexy skinny lady with big tits like most of Bleach women. She also doesn't have much interesting about her besides her design, but Kubo's always been a man to love style over substance so i don't mind. Thankfully she's not the butt of many jokes and most male Bleach fans are too busy drooling over the already-established women in the cast lol.
Anyone else have examples of chubby girls and women in anime, whether they're joke characters or otherwise? There are already so few fat guys who aren't treated as jokes about their weight, but they're here and there with the Major, the model from Sakamoto desu ga, Fatgum...

♦: Relationship with your Muse.
i dont rly get this question either i reject the voices in your head theory so im gonna do what mk did:
mel came to me because i was really into the idea of rping a dragon and using it as a metaphor for female empowerment. i suppose if we have a relationship she is the ego buried somewhere deep inside me lmao
ber came to me because hsi skeleton had this amazing disconnect of “loves being alone in a crowd of people” basically and his anxiety is pretty personal so i saw a way to explore that with him. also i loooove music so yeah. also that hew as a middle kid i mean-- really he was so immediate, just a real person, right away, my honey.
kiara came to me because i wanted to invert the romeo/juliet structure and make it Gay AF and she was always one of my fave disney characters.
hades came to me because i created thsi thing called the ‘ambassador’ and i also wanted to play an anti-hero hades and play with the whole ‘destiny’ trope. i intended to make him more unlikable than he is now tho maybe some would disagree and say he’s p unlikeable lmao
milo came to me bc i really love toying with the media of RP like we have these blogs right and those blogs can function as ic-blogs and so mostly i wanted milo to be a source for worldbuilding. In a way i wanted him to function almost like the audience reaching in and interacting with the world. the best way to describe it is the voice of cecil baldwin reporting on the events of nightvale tho he isnt the center player (originally at least idk im not far into nightvale.) i planned all these like interviews and blog posts and diary entries etc. i didnt do a lot of these things lol and he’s much more of a character-character now but i still like those aspects of him
nala came 2 me bc once AGAIN i really wanted to play a diff dynamic in terms of simala and i wanted someone involved with the whole InterPride scandal tbh. i drew from my experience working with nonprofits to inform a lot of her character
kiki came 2 me bc i was like wow what does a witch apprentice look like and what does a familiar look like. thsoe were the two questions that i wanted to explore with her and she’s like the exact opposite of mel
anita came 2 me bc i could not give up the opportunity to play opposite AUNT CRUELLA and i like dthe idea of doing a rags 2 riches kind of deal and also she was so diff from the females i had-- soft where everyone else was sort of hard, girly while everyone else was more....masculine? so she filled that void for me
Prince came 2 me with a question bc they always do: what would the guardian of the forest look like? what’s his story. how does that work. what mythology can i dive into. he was SO different than aNYone i had ever done and that kind of challenge excites me like-- noTHING else
Paul: once again it was the fact that i had never rped anyone like paul that made me want to rp paul lmao. i wrote his skeleton originally as a teenage dad (he started off as a rugby star in my head) and was liek WANT and then it took me like nine months to get him or something. and i love him bc parenthood, and masculinity, and poverty and all these other things, he’s just once again filling in holes i had that i hadnt previously explored (that wasn’t a real sentence. i apologize).
Andrina: oNCE again i was like i need a mermaid because what does atlantis lake look like? how can i sculpt it what can i build out of that? and i liked the idea andrina was experimenting with magic and maybe going places she shouldn’t go. and then when the adhd thread came in i was like this si ALSO something ive never done and will open up new opportunities for me. sold.
Merida: UGH the story was too good to pass up. once again-- notice a pattern-- i was like: i can expand on this order of the prince thing i created and do it while twisting it on its head. i was halfway inspired by the disreputable history of frankie landeau-banks whicih is basically about like a ya feminist awakening. plus all the DRAMA she could cause. who else would turn merida into a villain??? me. i am the answer.
Mowgli: UGH again lol i just was super intrigued about mowgli’s history and how his identity has been shaped by magic-- magic he doesnt have and magic that he does have after all. also i just knew his voice was going to be beautiful and i loved writing raj for his culture and i love writing mowgli for his.
