 * 1) 829 and #830:

You know, I've seen arguments like this about popular media, from comic books to TV shows in real life beyond this very wiki. And it sickens me, to an extent. From complaints like, "This character, existing or original needs to be of a certain gender/sexuality/race/build" to "This artist does this or that (i.e. attractive busts and figures of a certain size and scale), please stop it".

For the record, I am down with diversity and listening to the customer, but I draw a line when they turn into giant nag-fests to try and pressure the artist to change what they've designed or ban something just to please them, ESPECIALLY WITHOUT COMPENSATION OF SOME KIND, FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE.

For this very case, if you want to have characters matching your desired body builds, why not design your own and take art classes? Or pay artists like User:KurosakiHisana to get your dream character's design out, provided you have completed a prototype design.

And please, even though you may not like the material of existing artists, chances are that 99.99 percent of the time, they not only have the freedom to draw what they please, but that they also know and will do what is morally just in their art, and that the audience has no birthright to dictate to their demands unless given agreeable compensation.
