Even beyond the impossibly proportioned women of early console fighting games, most iconic female characters are, in various ways, stylized in an unrealistic way.
Now Bulimia.com, a collective dedicated to empowering those with eating disorders, has asked the question: "What would video game characters look like with average American bodies?"
The organization questions why - with games now featuring technical wonders such as natural cloud movements - they still don't usually portray the female body accurately and free from exaggerated proportions.
Though it's also true that video games certainly don't portray the average male body - with games like "Gears of War" featuring hulking body types that are practically unobtainable - it's still useful to be reminded of just how far our fantastical representations can sometimes take us from reality. And that this could potentially have consequences.
Here is a series of graphics, created by Bulimia.com, that shows what different iconic female video game characters would look like with average American body proportions.
