Yeah I see this all the time with gender-swapped versions of characters and it blows my mind. It doesn't even look like the character anymore, it's just moe nguu high school girl with a few of the original character's accessories. I'm not sure why femaleness = de-aged 10-20 years and losing all of the body muscle the character worked to build, not just some, but that's what it seems to mean to 90% of the artists out there.

It does mean, though, that those artists who actually bother to make a gender-swapped version of the character resemble the original character and look like the could do the original character's job never cease to amaze me. It's like they put thought and talent into it and such.

Exactly, do they think idealized video game hero/ine builds grow on trees? If I were that character suddenly swapped into a uguu moe I'd be pissed about losing all the training and effort and time that took. And considering those characters' usual personalities they'd get right on getting that build back so they can do what they used to be able to do again. It's not like they'd suddenly lose interest in and stop wanting to be mercenaries or bounty hunters or avatars or kick asses like they used to.

Plus characters like Wolverine are definitely not gonna start suddenly caring about leg and pit hair 'cuz he randomly woke up with boobs, and he'd be a pretty hairy woman.

Well they quite literally couldn't do their original jobs as a 90lb 14-year-old with DDD-cups and limbs as smooth and muscle-free as butter, so I would imagine that yeah, their first plan would be to hit the gym.

It's not like realistic gender-swaps can't be hot, either, that line of argumentation it bs - they just have to be fit!hot rather than... shit, I don't know, whatever kind of hot a 14-year-old with DDDs is. I've seen smoking hot realistic genderswaps before.

Them staying the same kind of hot that the original is, is the key here I think.

Wolverine the woman would still be complete with who gives a fuck body hair and built like a truck. MGS Quiet as a man should be svelte as fuck and still wear close to nothing.

And wearing miniskirts, you forgot the miniskirts.

I think that the issue of dress is one that trips up a lot of people. On the other hand, at least for guys who become girls, if they have a job that demands a lot of movement - why would they change their clothes at all? (which kind of removes the point of genderswap art...)

I'm suddenly reminded of an article featuring genderswapped game characters where the one person who switched from girl to guy got more clothing.
