A drawing that mulbarry to making of miyuki but uh, this bitch's boobs need to go.
I've said it before, and doubtless I'll say it again in regards to YanDev, but it bears repeating:
This type of criticism of his character design ideas doesn't work against him. In fact, it's exactly the worst way to make fun of YanDev. Alex is scuzzy for going at it the way he is, of course, but the dude is actually pretty calculating for why he goes for char design like this, beyond his own fetishes. He does it because anyone angling criticism this way gives the dumbass a smokescreen for his shit because he can (and will) respond by claiming you hate it because it offends your delicate sensibilities. Suddenly, he can angle you complaining about her unrealistic proportions by claiming you're just offended by it. While YanDev is a failure in many different ways, that plan of attack just gives him exactly what he needs in a climate he can exploit (something we can thank the professionally offended brigade for but that's fodder for another thread).
That's why I've always recommended that if you want to punch him where it hits the most, nail him on technical aspects, atrocious writing, general laziness, incapacity to deliver on even basic promises, attempts constantly to inflate the project, and so on. This project is critically and irrevocably flawed, and it deserves to be torn to shreds on that premise. Hell, Lunar Scythe alone shows he's fucking incompetent as a game dev, and you can nail that premise with the force of a bunker buster without ever giving him ammo.
