Yep. FWIW, I love her as an actress. But I see a lot of shows/ movie with people I would not consider "beautiful". However, most of them are so charismatic it's crazy! Michelle has tons of charisma, IMO. Danny DeVito is one of my favorite actors, but as he is fairly short and somewhat overweight, most people wouldn't consider him "beautiful".Then, job done and dusted no? We have representation of heroes that are outside the generally accepted "beauty" standard. It's there in the hobby already. We could probably use some more of it as well.
And those letters aren't that far apart, either.I've never really noticed it before, but "comeliness" and "homeliness" are only one letter apart....

It is very much opposites most of the time:1. I don't look like Conan the Barbarian.
2. My Barbarian characters do.
3. I wish I did.
There's zero issue with wanting the art to reflect our fantasy ideals.

I certainly have nothing against someone wanting art to reflect their fantasy ideals.
It seemed odd that some things aren't present in it at all.
I don't think many people would disagree, but what they're asking for is for a wider variety of body types rather than asking to have ideals removed. In 2016, Blizzard introduced Zarya (pictured below). Zarya is a beefy gal with the physique of a weight lifter which is in contrast to the typical body type for female characters. A lot of people belive Zarya was introduced because Blizzard was taking some criticism for the way women characters in Overwatch looked.There's zero issue with wanting the art to reflect our fantasy ideals.
No problem with this except the last bit.I don't think many people would disagree, but what they're asking for is for a wider variety of body types rather than asking to have ideals removed
Actually, I think they pretty much all do.Here's a classic work of art that appeared in AD&D in the past. I'm not sure any of them look like the ideal version of a fantasy adventurer. Maybe the elf woman?
