my first forum post ever is gonna be me complaining
i binge read dr stone ~1 year ago, and it was pretty enjoyable! most of the art is pretty neat.
most of the art is pretty neat...
EXCEPT THE LADIES LIKE CMON elaborating more in spoiler
tl;dr: all the female designs are INSANE. also very impractical stone age clothing
for context: this manga is based in a world 3000 years after all humans on earth during the 21st century are turned to stone. eventually some little GEEK named senku wakes up and he's some super ultra scientist so of course he's gonna revive everyone.
senku (guy on the left) revives a few people, is kicked out of his joint (revived a sociopath whoopsies) and finds people who managed to survive unpetrified since the beginning of the stone petrification (this is a whole fuckin story that i dont wanna explain but basically senku is probably kohaku's grand-sibling⁴²³⁵⁹¹³⁷)
one of the said cave people who lived through the petrification is this girl called kohaku (girl on right)
WHO THE FUCK IS OUT HERE GIVING CAVE WOMEN BBLS WHEN THEY CANT EVEN MAKE A BASIC PAIR OF GLASSES. WHAT ARE THESE PRIORITIES????????????????????
ALL of the women in the series look at this. even the ones with baggy clothes, they're just hiding the fact that they flew down to florida to get the lethal booty of their dreams. on top of that, all of the women have these ugly doe eyes... ALL EXCEPT FOR ONE, since she's supposed to be "brutish" (she still has the bahongas and bbl) (also canonically a taylor swift fan, idfk what taylor did to this crazy ass mangaka for him to design her the way he did)
more examples to make your body recoil:
the one on the right is 15 - 17 YEARS OLD. she wasn't even ALIVE DURING THE STONE AGE SHE WAS A STATUE. SHE DID NOT HAVE THE TIME TO GET A STONE AGE BBL.
the one on the right is 20 which is fair or whatever but SHE HAS HAD PNEUMONIA FOR OVER A DECADE. she couldn't even WALK AROUND WITHOUT SUFFOCATING. literally in the next 2 panels she keels over and starts coughing half to death. she could NOT survive a stone age bbl nor work out enough to be like that.
there are so many more examples but i'm done smashing my mental health with a mallet. and all of their clothes are REDICULOUS. every time the ladies do a movement slightly more than a jog i feel an immense wave of fear for what they're gonna show off.
