>>6126926I think it has to do with the fact that they're not good cartoonists.
Male characters you can keep adding details and it still looks fine, if a little off. Females you have to do more simplistic sculpts with and tone it down to keep that idealistic feminine beauty. This is why 3d face scans of females are hated, because there's no make up to hide the fact that the difference between male and female faces aren't as extreme as hollywood/tv make up lies.
A lot of great sculptors aren't good at cartoonizing their artwork/style
tl;dr: you have high expectations and dislike sharp knees
