That's always been my biggest complaint honestly. People are going to sexualized anybody but it seems like only women lose all sense of anatomy and become contortionist.
Like I've seen exaggerated proportions on both sides but unless its Baki, dont really see guys put in poses to show off the "goods" that straight up defy logic, anatomy, and physics.
There's a really cool chick who does videos of herself doing Jojo poses. Can't recommend it enough. I think this anime is actually pretty good with anatomical correctness from what I've seen.
The anime doesn't include some of the worst offenders, but JoJos (despite being one of my favourite franchise and Araki one of my favourite creators) is legitimately one of the worst offenders for consistently ABYSMAL anatomy.
Like, some of the worst I've ever seen. Araki can do the most haunting, beautiful high art drawing one page, then in the next one Lucy Steele has a hand for a foot
When I say consistently abysmal, I don't mean it's consistent that it's ALWAYS abysmal, I mean it's consistent that there will basically ALWAYS be at least some goofy anatomy
Like Joseph on the motorcycle, Josukes pose for DiU 1, Joseph with his megalong arm (though this is presumably an issue with the scan removing the centre binding because it looks fine in print), Jonathon's head sometimes looks like...WAAAAAAY too small, etc.
Early Araki is the worst for it, later Araki with decades more experience a whole month to own chapters seems to be a lot better at anatomy...again, except for feet.

My god those poor women's spines.
