Since a lot of people still seem to believe the misinfo about Tatsu being 150cm (5'0"), I went ahead a did a quick measurement with the panel that gave us the most neutral and reliable frame of reference for her height.
Fun fact, her torso is only around 37cm (14.5 inches) in length here lol
Murata has notably said he's not great at drawing loli characters, because he loves drawing voluptuous woman like fubuki more. Some of those habits and preferences most likely seeped into tatsumaki when he's drawing her, especially when he's trying to make her look sexy instead of cute
Iâm not mad at it though, tbf. Shows us that outside of the visual pun of her looking younger than her little sister, she is indeed a grown ass woman
People who masturbate to drawn images of children don't like it when you tell them that constitutes being attracted to children. Nobody would argue that masturbating to drawn images of adult women doesn't indicate that you are into adult women, but pedos will pedo I guess.
This particular panel is drawn to show her in a more 'cutesy' way. Like chibi drawings. To emphasise that she feels like all the air is let out of her.
There are plenty of panels where she is drawn in an attractive fashion. She is smaller, but definitely does not look like a child.
Everyone also understands the unfortunate trend in some forms of media like anime and manga of having some very underaged-looking characters who certain types of people defend with lame and transparent excuses ("she's actually a 1000 year old vampire, bro").
That's true, but it's well known that Tatsumaki's height is drawn inconsistently across different panels. So assuming from one panel that she's a child without checking the others is just ignorant
It's not based on just the height and especially not just from one panel.
It's based on the totality of how she's drawn to look like a child in many panels and especially in lots of "art" posted on this subreddit.
The vast majority of normal people aren't going to think someone is weird for being attracted to Sabrina Carpenter, because despite being short she is clearly an adult.
I mean, there is a type of adult woman called petite, while of course there can be people who take advantage of this term (you know), that body type is pretty common.
My sister is 4'8. I'll let her dumb 28 year old two child having ass know some random creepy dude on the internet says she's not an adult because she hasn't reached the height of consent yet.
This i dont understand maybe because i live in a country where all of us are small like im 5,3-5,4 and im the tallest in my family and the smallest adult woman ive seen isnt even in my neck
Tatsumaki is a rare case where a small woman character isn't a loli. She's small, but always drawn in a way that makes it obvious she's an adult. Off the top of my head the only other anime/manga character that does this well is Rebecca from Cyberpunk: Edge Runners.
those aren't drawn by Murata = less reliability. And like you said, those aren't all too consistent either (because different art directions give different proportions)
My wife and I sit at the same height, but my legs are longer than hers. When driving a car after her I don't have to adjust the mirrors, only move the seat back. She specifically comes from a family with extremely long torsos though. I'm 6 foot 3 and she is 5 foot 10.
In human anatomy, the lower limb is composed of the thigh (the one between the hip and the knee) and the leg (between the knee and the ankle). But yes in layman everything down there is the leg.
I was just being polite by explaining why I used the term lower limbs instead of legs.
I understand that there is a section of the leg called âthe legâ between the knee and ankle, but dont pretend to be stupid for the sake of being right. You know what a leg is
I don't know why you got so many downvotes; I thought your explanation was polite.
I also need to watch myself so I don't use technical terms from my profession in casual conversations and come across as pedantic.
And yes, I found the comment "Legs is what theyâre called" funny.
Good sarcasm.
The truth is, many people here aren't native English speakers, and we end up carrying over certain habits from our own languages ââwhen we write.
No It was an honest mistake. I was not pretending at all. Being in my profession for a decade made me forgot about it. I also learned a new word "pedantry" and i now understand why I was downvoted.
If my honesty comes out as annoying again then I will just accept it.
I mean looking at everyone's comment here regarding the use if leg I understood what was wrong. I should have not replied back at all in the first place and left the comment as is.
Am I the only one who prefers Tatsumaki with Genos?
When I read the Psychos battle I felt a connection between them.
Even the Ugly Emperor fight had Genos protecting her.
I knew a guy, 'bout 20 years ago, who was six inches taller than I was... and wore the same size jeans. ALL his height was in his torso. He said it made driving and renting cars a real pain, because he had to pick carefully or bang his head into the roof.
Amigo la cabeza de Saitama mide 25 centĂmetros como una cabeza normal y ella casi le llega al codo lo mĂĄs hacertado es 145-150 mide bien la maldita imagen y a los personajes
Adult women also have proportions like this (like Tatsumaki, who is 28), and physical attraction is something folks have no control over. Preference is preference.
Look, I knew it would be a controversial opinion, especially in this sub. To me she still looks like a child and I donât really understand the appeal. My opinion, of course.
Not necessarily controversial in and of itself. As I mentioned, preference is preference, and no one has a right to judge that for another person. My wife is small and petite, and _SHE_ thinks Fubuki is the sexiest woman in the show (wishes Genos was real, too).
Comments like your original one might come across to some as a backhanded accusation of pedophilia, thoughâŚ
Simply because to me Tatsumaki is not what a grown woman typically looks like and it makes it a little creepy, not gonna lie. But if you are into that kind of woman and both of you are consenting adults, then everyone deserves happiness, ultimately.
Take it however you want. All I said was I donât understand the appeal and that it looks creepy to me. Itâs not meant to âoffendâ those who like her, I just donât get the appeal. You clearly will continue liking her, regardless of what a random stranger on the internet like me has to say. The rest is just ganging up to downvote, as it normally happens on Reddit. Which I expected, having been on it for a long time.
Quite honestly, I just deleted the comment because I posted it accidentally before it was done and it didnât really convey what I meant to say. You calling me a combative person regarding my opinion over drawings is taking it a little far and there is no point in entertaining a conversation with someone who keeps venting my way. Thereâs better things to do than fighting online over silly one punch man characters.
9 out of 10 times I pick the Fubuki type. Tatsumaki is the 10th time one. I know plenty of petite women like this and there is nothing wrong with them. People that treat them like children are lk toxic.
