I don't get why it's so controversial. It's animated fiction. Nearly every comic from webtoon, traditional comics, manhwa/manhua, manga all have unrealistic body types. It's just art styles.

I don't get it either. There are no rules to art.

I'd disagree with that--namely that it should be consistent with the rest of the world. I.E. with anime art, everyone has anime eyes and if body proportions are weird, then everyone has weird proportions.

But with manhwa, you have normal looking buildings, normal looking side characters, and then people built like refrigerators with shrunken heads that look like they were ripped from the neck of a kpop star.

I mean, yeah, there aren't any set "rules", but her boobs and butt are so big compared to her petite body, it's just so obviously to sexualize her body. The rules of art are to draw proportionally when drawing a more realistic style, drawing unproportionally is usually reserved for more comic-style characters, because it looks better when they're not semi-realistic. but this is a semi-realistic art style, and her boobs are bigger than her face, she's got an extremely thin waist, and her butt is completely disproportionate to the rest of her body.

like, realistically, someone could have those proportions, but the people with those proportions wouldn't look like that...they'd (preferably) have ribs...
