Should fiction more realistically protray achievable body types to ensure people don't injure themselves physically or emotionally by attempting to emulate what they see?

Nah. People gotta see what looks good so they know what they're shooting for.

Well the one on the right could just ingest whatever it was she wanted to steal and walk away without anyone knowing.

Women whine about 'unrealistic body types' every time they see a character who looks even moderately slender, and the whole world panders to them and agrees how awful it is for women to be expected not to be fat.

Meanwhile, every Hollywood actor you've ever seen topless in a movie has been on grade A+ quality roids 6-12 months prior to shooting, and they're all 6" 2. And yet nobody has ever spoken a word about 'unrealistic male bodies'.

God I fucking hate whiney women more than anything else in this world

No, when you are too concerned with what the real world impacts of what art/entertainment product you are making will be, then it winds up being dogshit. People make entertainment with attractive women and muscular men because that is the ideal body for both genders. Who the fuck wants to look at a fat ugly chick the whole game? Who wants to pretend to be a fat ugly chick? Fucking nobody. Also I hate how people pretend most male leads are as muscular as the hulk, they aren't they are usually very reasonable sized and women definitely find them attractive even if feminists don't.

Nah, most of them are short. Mel Gibson, Tom Hardy, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Robert Downey Jr., Leo Dicaprio, Johnny Depp, Taylor Lautner, Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal etc. All of these fags are in the 5'7 - 5'11 range.

It's actually rare to see an A-list American actor who's over 6' tall. Arnold Schwarznigger is actually the last one who comes to mind since Stallone is another manlet. (5'7 - 5'9)

The guy who plays Thor in the Avengers movies is the only tall (6'3) A-list actor I can think of. Even then, he's not that tall. Everyone in hollywood is just short, LOL!

I wonder how long it's going to be before feminists try to carry out replacement theory in the furry fandom? I'm guessing that it's near the bottom of their list, not just because it's low visibility compared to something like video games or comic books, but more so because they really aren't looking forward to ma'amsplaining to a bunch of furfags how deeply problematic the big tits and hourglass waists on their female OCs are.

Fuck off, whale. If I had wanted to stare at your odious, bloated form for hours on end, I'd have been your boyfriend. But I'm not---nobody is. There's a reason for this, that being the fact you're not anywhere close to the ascetically pleasing ideal on which media and artistic consumption is based. That's what we want to see; not you, and not anything resembling you. Given that people are not at a glance attracted to what you are on the outside, they certainly won't warmly embrace what motivates you, or the notion of pandering to your neurotic self-absorption evidenced in a demand on the culture that your likeness be held in equal esteem to beauty. Yours is the farthest thing from.

Nor do any of us believe that what you're after is simple acceptance. All you can hope for, ultimately, is pity, for as you may know, even the most "accepting" of us merely have high tolerance levels for the aberrant, and there's quite the gulf between an ability to not squirm at the sight of you and your represented want. Others with whom you converse on this matter may by their neutrality or agreement indeed seem to validate that want, but only because they reside on the interwebs; they are far from your physical presence and are self-interested, desirous to feel good about themselves. It therefore costs them nothing, even as they derive a base pleasure from your wretchedness. This is just, as your demand on society for understanding or acceptance is unfounded, and unwanted. Better that you were more honest, and from the start were your pitiful self.

So however it's couched, abject pity is your goal. But pity, madam, you will get none from me. No mercy to fatties.
