The mistake is assuming they "don't know." They do know shape language and body types and everything else, they just don't care. The SJW artist fundamentally believes that what makes art appealing is actually what upholds patriarchal/sexist/racist/transphobic beliefs. Think men and women are fundamentally different, or can be defined at all? Then what about transgender people?? Are you gonna draw a trans person that looks like a man in drag? How transphobic! Is your female character pretty at all? How sexist, how misogynist, how pandering-to-the-male-gaze-y! Every design choice an SJW artist makes is to intentionally be contrary, spiteful, and "progressive," so you get the most grotesque looking characters but with the underlying insistence they're "what people actually look like outside of [the enemy's] beauty standards" and/or truly beautiful.Genuine question: How come these artists don't know how to draw women? Learning the 'shapes' of them is easy; men are sharp/square-ish, women are curvy/round. There's also the point that drawing your own gender is more easy than the opposite gender, since you have yourself as a easy reference for the fundamentals. (Not counting that most of them are very likely to be fat, but artists can make chubby/fat people look good, and there's still the point of women looking 'round') Yet for most of the art here, when its supposed to be a woman, its drawn with the body as a man and/or have the face of a man. How did you fuck it up so badly? Even if the reason was "I hate pretty women" or whatever, completely neutral women still exist. Ugly but still somewhat good-looking women can be drawn.
Even Ronald Dahl + Quentin Blake is a common example of the latter with their books, with that one page of The Twits used the most as an example.

Which they're not. People are lying to themselves. But good luck convincing someone who doesn't want any help that their art is garbage. Have fun talking to that wall.
