Art & Fanworks When fat characters are drawn in a completely different art style

1: Tomohiro Nagatsuka from A Silent Voice (looks like he’s from a kid’s anime)
2: (Flashback) Yuko Ozawa from Jujutsu Kaisen (she’s a realistic depiction but like too realistic… why are her eyes so small)

Besides from the fact that it alienates heavier characters (even when there is more to the character than them being fat), the inconsistency of the art style is just annoying. Fat Gum from My Hero Academia is sorta understandable since the art style allowed for varied designs, but the sources I chose from this post have a much more uniform art style, so it looks jarring when they draw one character super different.

Oh please. The fat characters usually look fine. Most fat people who want better “RePrEsEnTaTiOn” will always want “fat” characters that are extremely curvey, small wastes and small beautiful faces thin arms and then “fat” curvy thighs and upper torso. They wanna delude themselves into thinking that’s what they look like lol
