prev post was jokey but it does make me absolutely raging that women on screen (animated and not but specifically animated in this context) are by default hairless as if no hair ever grew there at all. theyre also thin by default and anyone questioning why a woman has been designed to be so thin immediately is partaking in discourse, as if the idea that a woman could be like mid size or fat in animation is in itself political. armpit hair on a woman in art is political.. its so dire. in animation i dont expect individual leg hairs to be animated because thats just difficult (unless its a few little lines for texture or in a purposeful stylised way) but it is a conscious choice to design a woman without underarm hair, something almost all adults have. its so glaring to me at this point as a choice that was made in the design process. a man can have a full beard and fuck off fuzzy chest hair but if this woman doesnt have entirely waxed armpits grown men will get too scared. we’ve got to get out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
