(Picture--Cammy from Street Fighter)
"Cammy is basically my ideal woman. I aspire to be like her. She's smart, strong, clever, quick-thinking, mentally tough, not afraid to be cute, and, yes, beautiful. Secret because nobody takes fighting game characters seriously."

Not afraid?

[(Anonymous)]

Just wondering, when people list a bunch of traits that some character has, how do they decide which traits the character "isn't afraid" to have? Are they traits that you find unusual? Traits that most people would try to hide because people don't like them (that seems to make the most sense, but "cute" seems odd in this context since it's usually considered a positive thing. It would make sense with a trait usually considered negative)?

I mean, do you assume a person who isn't cute is just afraid to be?

Re: Not afraid?

[(Anonymous)]

It's not enough to talk about positive and negatives. Cuteness is mostly positive, but there's a perceived dissonance between cuteness and strength/power/ability to deliver hyperkicks. So I would assume that OP is saying that Cammy is cute and unsorted about that despite the tension with her surroundings and ambitions.

Re: Not afraid?

[(Anonymous)]

I was wondering that, too. It doesn't take much courage to be cute OR beautiful, IMO. Being visibly intelligent ruffles a lot more feathers, if you're a woman, whereas being cute/beautiful is something society says we're supposed to aspire to.

Re: Not afraid?

[(Anonymous)]

The thing is, people tend to think if you are cute/act cute, you're not intelligent or tough. That you'll go down like a wet piece of paper towel in any kind of struggle (physically or mentally). I may be way off the mark, but I think OP is saying that she's not afraid to be herself, even though it may make others think she is somehow "lesser" than she is.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

It has to do with expectations of toughness and how people who are cute are assumed to not be tough or how people who are tough are assumed to not have a cute side.

[(Anonymous)]

In the UDON comics, isn't she also an escapee from a cult or something?

Anyway, I love Cammy. I used to play her a lot.

[(Anonymous)]

She was a Shadowloo agent and that's in the games too.

[(Anonymous)]

I admire her high wedgie tolerance.

[(Anonymous)]

I admire the hell out of her buff arms in the latest SF game. Wish I could be that fit.

[(Anonymous)]

I want her thighs.

[(Anonymous)]

Is this official art? Her hand is bigger than her head!

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not saying this is all anatomically realistic, but are you aware that her hand is stretched out to the viewer and thus appears bigger?

[(Anonymous)]

LOL. Not to this degree, sis.

[(Anonymous)]

Perspective is hard, mkay.

[(Anonymous)]

I know. But if you draw a flop paw, then I'm going to call it a flop paw.
