>>54144707No, I've really seen tomboys dressing similarly to Misty. I'm talking girls who are very un-ladylike, with short hair and wearing shorts / a tanktop or some other short shirt, not because they think it's sexy (they seem to be utterly unaware of this, it's part of the appeal, they don't even see their bodies as attractive) but because it's hot and they wanna stay fresh / play sports or dance / they don't perceive themselves as any different from a man wearing little clothing.
But yes, for the people drawing Misty, she is the ideal tomboy. Still an absolutely gorgeous girl, but she has an attitude that can compete with boys.
>>54147089Exactly, it's pretty much looking at a man. And forget about the body shape, at least the face could be cute. Kino (from Kino no tabi) and Naoto from Persona 4 are also "tomboys / reverse traps", but it's easy to love them in a straight way because they've got a feminine face.
Rika feels closer to a western character Sony would create. Le stronk manly girl, probably a lesbian too.
