Line 2: In most animated works and comics featuring an ensemble cast, particularly a [[Five-Man Band]], the male characters will have a wide range of body types -- [[The Smart Guy]] will often be [[Geek Physiques\|small and slender]], [[The Big Guy]] will be either huge and muscular or endearingly pudgy, and [[The Hero]] will typically be somewhere in between. Female characters, however, tend to have almost identical body ~~shapes -- typically~~shapes—typically standing [[One Head Taller\|one head shorter]] than the hero, relatively slender build, very little muscle definition. Breast size varies depending on the work, but in many cases, all the women in the cast will have the same cup size. Surprisingly, this even applies to works with an all-female cast. This often applies to most supporting characters, too. Occasionally a [[Fat Girl]] may appear as a minor comic-relief character, but she will never join the main cast. Line 11: {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * ''[[One Piece]]'' started as this (aside from the rare [[Token ~~Mini-Moe~~Loli]]), though Oda finally decided to be just as [[Cast of Snowflakes\|outlandish]] with women as he was with men. * ''[[Uchuu Senkan Yamato]]'' and other [[Leijiverse]] works owe this to [[Author Appeal]]. Males sometimes have a token Gonk just to skew the ratio. * ''[[Sailor Moon]]''. Other than height (and ignoring a certained talented meme), is there really a difference in build among ''any'' of the girls in this show? Line 25: * Most of [[Barbie]]'s friends have the exact same body shape as her, which is especially odd since ''no real women do.'' * [[Bratz]].{{context}} : It even carried over to the animated cartoon, to the point that when one of the male characters disguises himself as a girl, he has ''exactly'' the same body shape as the female characters. * All the females in ''[[BB Senshi Sangokuden]]'' are the exact same build, regardless of age, while males come under regular, Toutaku, and Ryofu Tallgeese. * Initially played straight with ''[[Monster High]]'' (although the dolls did have different face molds) until the release of Nefera De Nile's doll, which has a taller mold as she is older than the rest. Line 37: == [[Web Original]] == * Criticized—along with excessive use of [[Fan Service]] tropes related to the [[Male Gaze]]—by [[Moviebob]] in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130921203002/http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-big-picture/4719-Gender-Games this] episode of "The Big Picture." == [[Real Life]] ==
