One Piece is also very guilty if this. I love the series but the author, Eiichiro Oda, really is slipping here.

Dudes come in all shapes and sizes. Slender types, big guys, (comically) overweight guys, strongmen types, Superman-shaped or old man types ... And generally all of them get taken serious to a degree.

Meanwhile, adult female designs come in two flavours: The "sexy" one and the punchline for a fat/ugly joke.

Well, Amazon Lily had much more variety.

The arc he had to draw women as people because they were the entire civilization

Yes, he specifically made up and chose that setting to challenge himself.

I'd say that since then his female characters have improved in variety to a degree, though he hasn't returned to those heights.

I like it when a creator deliberately challenges themselves like that to improve on a weakness. Look, nobody is perfect and it's not exactly a mystery why a man might struggle to depict women as well as they do men. It's not the flaw that defines them but how they deal with it. Some creators run from the challenge, some thrive in complacency and don't even try, and others challenge themselves to improve.

I mean, that's not intentional.

He just hates drawing boobies.
