I don't think anyone disagrees that everyone is entitled to free expression. In some genres, people with impossible body shapes are somewhat convention. Fantasy and superhero are two such genres. I won't say it's necessarily great- it just kills me that the Justice League cartoon has great writing and voice acting, but the art hurts my eyes- I mean, Wonder Woman looks like she could snap like a twig. But at least in those genres, there is no pretext of realism. Erotica is another genre in which there is no pretext of realism, and people use it to express their sexual fantasies and I won't criticize that. What bothers me is when these impossible bodies are presented as examples of realistic ideas. When people are deluged with these images on television, billboards, posters, the internet, magazines- really everywhere- they start accepting it. This contributes to people wasting time, money, and health to attempt to meet the ideas, or otherwise to their low self-esteem. And then children, who quite naturally want to emulate adults, pick these images up and accept them far easier. Clothes once limited to streetwalkers are now made in little girls' sizes. It's no wonder that the average age of puberty onset for girls is plummeting. I think a lot of artists don't even realize that they are contributing to this imagery. Many start by copying what they like- so if they follow the cue of what they commonly see as standard, then they adopt impossible body images as normal and average. And that's how I started with Poser, blindly accepting at first that Victoria and Michael were average at base. It's when I started trying to clone people I knew that I discovered how wrong that was. I don't necessarily agree that sex sells as a rule. There was, last year I think, a Dove campaign which explicitly used 'real women' instead of models. A lot of women on a forum in which I participate almost uniformly praised the campaign and wondered why there weren't more ad campaigns like it. Artists will create what they want to create, and the impossible body images are not always inappropriate as a blanket rule. But it's important to at least be aware of what we are doing when we create. And those who agree with me should do something about it- like stop spending so much time making Victoria sexy and more time helping other models look real.
