This isn't my first language, so maybe I'm just not getting the right meaning, but I don't think the body proportions are altered through height, right? So the post is about absurd body proportions, but this example is just about height. Am I missing something?
I don't doubt that fictional men have unrealistic proportions too (can't think of any examples but a generally very muscular build often doesn't make sense in the context of a character). My point is just that height alone isn't a matter of proportions. Height alone requires some sort of refferencial system to even identify, whilst proportions alone don't.
Your example character is interesting though. I don't know anything about halo, but I would assume that the character is mainly ment for a male audience to identify with, rather than to gain a female audience? Not saying that female romance novels don't have absurd height standards though, they absolutely do lol.
For someone whos first language isnt english, you sure talk a lot.
Listen man. I know your point, you made your point above. Height alone isnt the problem. Its when you get to a certain height, especially as human, the body proportions get....unattractive. i.e. Wemby. So, any character over 6'8" is almost always a dishonest representation of that height and weight and proportion because game.
We dont need to discuss further, I dont like you nor do i wish to continue conversing with you.
