I think in the official products April has never been sexualized much at all, unless you count the cleavage in the '87 cartoon version. It's not like she's in a swimsuit or anything skin-tight.

We're on the same page. I'm not sure when this whole "ugly is beautiful" trend began, maybe around 2011? The show girls did a lot to try and push that narrative.

Her rule 34 situation suggests she is one of the most sexualized cartoons, maybe of all time, next to Cheetara and Raven from Teen titans.


Well, they made some fixes to this figure, not crazy. Baby steps I suppose?


new one on the right.

Yeah, but looking at it again, they are the same sculpt, just changed the paint? Like they just had her smile? so, this is literally men telling women they need to smile more?

The new paint makes it look more show accurate, all the characters in 1987 show looked happy. It was a comedy. Old one wasn't neutral, looked more like she just ate something sour.

April should be thick as hell and have a sizable chest.

Thick means a very sexy and curvy woman.

Need examples of how thick is actually applied. Fat and thick seem to be interchangeable, depending on what one deems as sexy. April isn’t thick, unless you’re thinking of Sophie Campbell’s take.

I'm not aware of any iterations of April on screen being too sexualised. The FW April had a good figure but this has over the years been exaggerated by fans to be sexual. I obviously don't want an ugly looking April but then April doesn't need to wear skimpy clothes or keep letting us know how hot she is all the time. It's both distracting and having it thrown down out throats makes it cynical.

So she's more of a big sister character for you? Not attractive, just kind of there?

You ever see The Incredibles? Elastigirl is pretty thick. I don’t think anyone would call those proportions fat. I just don’t think April should be a featureless stick.

Oh! So, thick means giant ass? Childbearing hips?
I’m starting to feel old.

I think you might be better off going to Urban Dictionary for your answers to be honest.
