Seems hella clickbaity. Not gonna lie. But with people blowing a gasket over that Sweet Baby thing, it's easy to see why people would glom on to something like this though.
"Do they have exaggerated body proportions?"
'Microsoft against curvy women'
Is funny, since I've noticed that a lot of dude's idea of 'curvy' is just a chick with huge tits, and not actual curvaceous women. Hell, you very rarely see curvaceous women in videogames in general.
You either have small pixie/Asian chicks, chicks with huge breasts, fat/chubby chicks, long thin model types, chicks that desperately need a burger, chicks whose intestines have been removed to be better bottle shaped, chicks who hit the gym hard.
The last couple thick women I saw was that Great Fairy from the recent Zelda games, that cyborg/android chick in that puzzle indie game, Gwyneyvere from DS looked like she was packing heat, that Amazon from Dragon's Crown, Raijin from Muramasa is probably in the 'hits gym hard' category, but yeah, I think it's mostly just the Japanese delivering thick/curvy women. Western devs usually stick to what I wrote before, even before all the Sweet Baby stuff.
These days I guess we just aren't gonna get stuff like Elexis Sinclaire and Red Lotus, or the like the older designs of the female MK characters. I was never the biggest fan of those designs, but the fully clothed women with seemingly the same personality types seem to be a worse tradeoff.
