So because no-one is bothering with Liana K's videos that I linked earlier which go through all this here's the quick version to alleviate confusion.I'm just kind of confused about this idea that Abby is impossibly brawny. This only makes sense for people have never seen sportswomen, up to and including one of the most famous of the last couple of decades, Serena Williams. I mean, have you seen her arms? She is packing way more muscle than a load of the keyboard warriors getting in a tizzy whenever women have bulges that aren't breasts, hips and buttocks.
Although, maybe, you know, the sort of people complaining about it are the sort of people who think women's sports aren't real sport and haven't seen any sportswomen.
Yes some real women in the present world can and do look brawny, so using the "real women" argument here's the many issues with that.
- Real world women who look like Abby have specialised training and diet regimes pretty much only made possible by the modern world to achieve said look
- Abby being part of a faction not struggling for food doesn't matter as it would still be rations Abby wouldn't have access to the amount of food needed to build and maintain that amount of muscle.
- Abby's workout regime (actually something about in the game) also wouldn't be enough to get her present look
- Even Abby's own body model who works out professionally and does it as her job and does competitions etc can't maintain the look of Abby for more than 2 weeks at a time because of how the diet regime etc works and the impact on her body.
- At one point Abby spends a month or so on the road so less access to food / rations or the gym equipment as loses 0 muscle
