[Super Sonico]

idk the canon but she looks like an all-around curvy/voluptuous girl to me (like, she looks like she has boobs and hips and an ass). I know plenty of real women with that body type, it's not like it's that uncommon.

Male Detected.

Look, no-one is trying to take away your body pillow, but pretending this shit is ok? that is deeply demeaning to women.

Here's your reply.

Woman here. Have you ever even seen the show? Every girl in it is treated with a ton of respect, and does in fact challenge misogynistic ideas based on how they appear. It's great, I love it.

And yes, their designs are goddamned adorable. And yes, real women are shaped the way they are too.

Yes, thank you!

In particular I really like the episode where a magazine sends a female reporter to do a feature on her. It's just a really good summation of the way society treats people who choose to become models/ idols etc

Seriously?

So you're trying to invalidate my opinion by asserting that I'm male. That's kind of messed up.

I'm not pretending all of Super Sonico is okay, I know there are some problems with the way she is presented and definitely problems with the hardcore "waifu" people who will defend her viciously.

I just really like her character design. It makes me feel more comfortable to wear thigh high socks and be comfortable with that bulge were the socks pinch my thighs. It makes me feel better about wearing t-shirts that get eaten by my cleavage. It's really refreshing to see that in a design.

The only problem I have with her design is that boobsocking that's going on.

That can actually happen in real life to a degree. My boobs aren't huge-huge, but they're big enough and set far enough apart on my chest that shirts made out of certain materials will bunch up or wrinkle between them. It happens most often with lightweight drapey stuff, but I've had it happen with plain old t-shirts too.

Same.
I have pretty big boobs and I can't think of a way to make them look like this that doesn't involve lots of tape and a wet t-shirt.

Otherwise I find her pretty normal looking, especially for anime standarts?

Yeaaaaah. She looks fine, I just detest how anime draws boobs+shirts most of the time.

But that happens with any thin top if you have boobs roughly that size and shape. I stick to heavy weight fabric for my tops or else I'm forever picking my shirt out from between them and that looks kinda unladylike in public.

Some people really need to learn how to criticize the amount of female characters that conform to some feminine ideal without implying that there are no real women who look like them or that there's something wrong with looking like them (excepting cases where it's physically impossible for a human being to have such proportions). I think the idea should be to point out that people come in all shapes and sizes but only a few of them are regularly represented most of the time, trying to add to what's out there rather than getting rid of the current standard entirely.

She actually looks slightly more realistic to me than the average anime girl. Maybe it's just her thighs and boobs, but anime style women usually have impossibly thin bodies - even when they are large-breasted, their bodies just don't seem to match up. Just by the image you posted, it's kind of like body type too.

MTE. (About her looking more realistic than the average anime girl. I do not have her body type, but she's got a great one and it looks fairly normal.)

I just really dislike the implication that comes with these type of characters, that it's ok and attractive to be chubby, as long as all the chub is located in your tits and ass.

Not saying those kinda girls don't exist, but most people gain weight pretty evenly. And you just NEVER see an all-around fat female character in anime that isn't just a comic relief or a gross monster.

I agree with this. Like I'd love for there to be some kind of Melissa McCarthy equivalent in anime.

Mostly because Sonico was just born out of an illustrator wanting to make porny figures, I think that's why we get so many problems. I still appreciate her design despite all that.

It's interesting that you say that about Sonico when her friend Pochaco is fat and still regarded as attractive. Like, she's genuinely fat. Yes she has gigantic tits, but she also has a gut, lovehandles, back rolls, fat arms, fat legs etc.

She's been getting very popular recently and has a lot of figures and merch coming out. Sadly pretty much all of it has her wearing nothing but an ill-fitting bikini but still, it's nice seeing a fat girl getting so much attention.

So yeah, I don't think your argument really works when it comes to Sonico.

She's fat though.

That's how you know she's a real woman and not some fake skinny bitch.

I'm trying to see how she's different from any other anime character out there.

You don't watch much anime, do you?

that girl either needs to put on a damn bra or someone needs to learn how boobs and fabric work

The design looks fine except for her milk bag boobs. No, seriously. What's up with her boobs. Boobs don't work that way. They are logic-defying boobs. I have large boobs and the only way that would happen to me, is when I'm not wearing a top or a bra. Which is pretty annoying.

Anyway, she looks fine, OP. Her magnetic boobs look kinda funny, but her design looks nice.

Edited 2015-06-15 04:25 (UTC)

It happens to me when I wear a bra. It depends entirely on the shape and placement of your boobs on your chest.
