Ah, if it's imperfection you want then nix the TV and Poser and step outside. Aside from The Biggest Loser, TV caters to perfection and even the TBL folks are trying to get buff. In the real world, diet pills and cosmetic surgery could float the national debt. Assuming that most real people would rather not be imperfect, why would they want their [often] fantasy driven 3D creations to be?

You are perfectly correct that is an probably under served market for less idealized figures and clothing. from historical to contemporary - I'd like to see more 1940's style garb. It's a topic/complaint that comes up fairly often. People are always alluding to a pent up demand that would make creating such content profitable, but for whatever reason, the marketplace has never moved in that direction and I don't see that changing. Apparently content creators place more faith in Sex in the City than Field of Dreams. Can't say that I blame them

While I agree with much of your basic premise, I must say that your argument would be more effective, or at least less tacky, if you dispensed with the implications that those who have different tastes are mouth breathing degenerates. OTOH, your image of sailors, who would have all been male (save for the nurses) running around in fishnets and thongs offers food for thought. I can imagine the Japanese getting one look at that scene and fleeing in panic. Gives a whole new meaning to 'Tail End Charlie.'
