There's a lot of problems with how we tend to draw body types for different people and we should call out the more overt examples (like the dude who drew his 9 year old sister like THAT or how a lot of ppl cannot draw a wömun without sexualizing her) BUT (cont)
the problem is not individual people... the problem is how we're collectively influenced towards this behaviour and how it's harmful to have it *as the norm*, because focusing on individuals can lead to condemning all sexualized women you see
THAT BEING SAID (cont)
THAT BEING SAID (cont)
there is no "art police" who go around condemning all tradicionally beautiful women because they hate hot ladies. what there IS, however, is criticism (valid/good or not) of the tendency to mostly have one or two types of body types that *mostly* come from sexualization (cont)
AND while ppl who make art of normatively pretty women tend to get these kinds of criticisms in a way that seems too combative to be convincing, artists who draw non-normative bodies get harassed, called slurs or "sjws" (for just drawing shit), dogpiled and much worse (cont)
We're quick to defend the people who get put on r/mendrawingwomen and angrily criticised (and it's good to do so when we're barking at the wrong tree or focusing too much on individuals) but we barely talk abt the people who actually get harassed for doing bad draw me no like
