One more puritain that hate the female form and tell that girls are not allowed to be hot and sexy.
Only the men are allowed to be impossible mass of sexy muscles, eh?
EEEEEHHHHHH?
Like come on. BRING ON THE CURVES, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
My only complain with her is that they basically removed all the kibbles that make her a Transformers. They should have followed the manga above a bit more closely.
In no way is this a matter of “letting women feel sexy.” That’s a REAL world issue, this is a fictional character clearly designed by horny men. Windblade isn’t real and making some liberating choice to look like that. I don’t think it’s Puritan to want designs of characters that you can own without feeling like some weirdo who gets off to robot girls.
Everyone is saying “oh but the guys are buff too!” And yeah sure, but there’s nothing specifically human proportioned on them. Windblade looks like she’s wearing a tight skin suit, I mean for ducks sake you can see her nipples! You can’t say that the human-like features are equitable between the guys and her.
Hasbro has been pushing for Windblade to be one of the most prominent female characters in the new continuities, which is fantastic, but is this how she should be represented?
