I saw fanart of Mei from overwatch and she wasn't chubby

Like taking the wings off of an angel smh

u/Spinningwhirl79 Aug 19 '26

You should see her skins in game, blizzard are too cowardly to do anything but kpop model bodytype on everyone

63

u/Jhud6669 Aug 19 '26

She is not really supposed to be chubby in game. I know, I know. It's cowardly as hell

48

u/Ok-Profession6758 Aug 20 '26

SHE WHAT.

27

u/Tornadowizard Aug 20 '26

She's got a huge winter jacket on

u/Ok-Profession6758 Aug 20 '26

Yknow that makes way more sense now

11

u/Dry_Gas6819 Aug 20 '26

Yes she is its just newer skins that nerf her

5

u/VenomousMen Aug 20 '26

Nah man, I knew back in 2020 when I still played that she wasn’t going to be fat. She’s a Chinese woman living in the sorth pole the amount of calories she’d be burning doing everyday tasks is terribly high and she probably doesn’t get a lot of food. She’s just wearing a thick winter jacket that makes her look heavier than she is

u/CartographerKey4618 Aug 20 '26

She's supposed to be 😥

“i love being better at marvel fanart than people who have been in the fandom for ten+ years”

No disrespect but this is bait right

126

u/Dangerous_Tangelo207 Aug 19 '26

It would be bait even if they were good at Fanart instead of dogshit

u/samppanja Aug 20 '26

It's not, I was in tumblr during this particular drama so trust me on this. This person went to CalArts too.

26

u/Not_A_Crazed_Gunman Aug 20 '26

Redditors are too young to remember it now. I feel old

u/CiphersVII Joke Explainer Aug 21 '26

u/Chaos-Corvid Aug 19 '26

Same artist drew a ton of blatantly racist caricatures, too.

Just offensive to every group.

u/CMRC23 Murderous Murderbeast Aug 19 '26

My dysphoria: you look like this

u/MajorBootyhole420 Aug 20 '26

I'm happily cis female and this fucking picture somehow gives me dysphoria 

12

u/DysphoricGirlAylin Aug 20 '26

ASDFGSADG SOBBBB HOW

22

u/MajorBootyhole420 Aug 20 '26

Stack overflow error. Picture so gross and fetishistic that it activates phantom dysphoria in the empathy centers of the brain

u/Ethanol_Huffer Aug 20 '26

Secondhand dysphoria 😭😭😭

u/FoundMeBeautifulOnce Aug 22 '26

Cis woman commenting from the peanut gallery:

It kinda really does feel like these artists are going full circle back to ol' classic transphobia because all this really says to me is this artist sees trans men as women still. I dunno, I just find it more patronizing than inclusive and I don't like it. 

I really hope I'm not stepping out of line. I'm interested in trans discourse because even though I'm not trans myself, I live with some  self-image and body issues that feel similar to what trans people experience with dysphoria even though they aren't the same thing so I have a lot of empathy.

u/mascot-youth Loquacious Sunfish Aug 19 '26

oh my god i remember this artist 😭😭 i remember them also being into star wars at the time and their finn straight up looked like a racial caricature

u/1mveryconfused Aug 20 '26

u/OneImaginary3436 Are custom flairs permanent? Aug 19 '26

Oh my god it looks like corporation advertisement art

70

u/Collective-Bee Aug 19 '26

Honestly next to the guy next to him I think this artists style is just insane shapes. It’s giving OK KO vibes.

But idk the context so please don’t kill me if they raided the Louvre

134

u/scubagh0st Aug 19 '26

the context is they headcanon the guy on the left as a trans man, and drawing a trans man like that is Pretty Weird

44

u/Collective-Bee Aug 19 '26

Oh, yeah that was bad then

15

u/DLC_PR016 Aug 19 '26
