Off topic a bit.
Found a cool wrestling artist on deviant art.
Evil muscle woman beats up a cute girl. How do we make Deviant art more pro muscle woman?

Came across this in a T-Nation interview by David C Scott w/ Joseph Gatt. B)

T Nation: Why doesn’t Hollywood cast athletic muscular types as everyday characters?

Gatt: Hollywood casts according to society’s accepted stereotypes. These stereotypes relate to gender, race, physique, and many other things. And the box you live in will depend on what’s an acceptable look for you (or an acceptable role.) As an example, societal stereotyping denotes that African-American guys have better bodies than white guys. I’ve been told, “You have the body of a black guy!” So, for acting, it’s cool and almost necessary for an African-American actor to be in good, muscular shape, and to even have a shaved head.

In fact, most leading black actors in current shows share this combo. But a white guy who is muscular with a shaved head is the Nazi or prisoner or bodyguard, but never the romantic lead. Fit women have it 100 times worse. That includes the body shaming and the typecasting. My partner is in amazing shape. She’s pretty much in fitness/bikini competition shape year round, but she doesn’t touch weights. She does cardio, teaches and practices yoga, and does various aerial arts.

She’s also gorgeous. But, the two don’t go together. In Hollywood terms, she’s classed as a bodybuilder! Even though she has been practicing yoga for over 15 years, she’s been openly told, “Oh no, you don’t look like a yogi. People who do yoga don’t have muscles,” and they’ll cast the anorexic who can’t do a lick of yoga.

According to society (and Hollywood), a sexy woman has to be painfully thin with absolutely no muscle definition at all. A good example is Gal Gadot. These are also the women who are being cast in “action” roles. Makes no sense. This isn’t Hollywood’s fault. Hollywood is only giving society what it already accepts. But Hollywood has the power to change society’s views and stereotypes. It has in the past and it will again.

It’s way off topic but does segue into the very thing I was going to say
Any hope you had of a bodybuilder getting accepted in mainstream society was a pre-sex tape Joanie CHYNA Laurer
She did comedy&sci-fi plus action but post WWF acting career led to basically just replacing Cory Everson in films
Which opened the doors for Lauren Powers,Jayne Trcka&Dallas Malloy {pre-marriage}
I see a pattern to stardom but besides Victoria,Beth Phoenix&”Kaitlyn” there have been few&far between female wrestlers have come even close to her filmography with any musculature

I remember that guy from Star Trek.

It’s a shame. 🙁

NSFW
Here is another example. The heroine has no muscle but is stronger than the somewhat muscular villainess.

I can’t stop thinking bout this topic & logical courses of action
I mean break it down you have the 80s&90s films: HELEN WHEELS – Toxic Avenger franchise/
KAY BAXTER – Master Demon/ TEAGAN CLIVE – Interzone/ SPICE WILLIAMS-CROSBY – Hollywood Hot Tub 2:Educating Crystal
Michiko Nishiwaki – My Lucky Stars / RAYE HOLLITT -The Last Hour&Skin Deep/ TATIANNA BUTLER – Shadow Dead Riot
These are shall we say,.. “indie”films {except for SKIN DEEP obviously} proves to me that just like P.A.D.OR Dan Slott working on comics
we have to really throw support behind every picture which showcases FBBing

Agree with everything you said except that I don’t think My Lucky Stars is consider “Indie”.

Remenber in the 80’s
Spice Willaims Played a Kingon Warrior woman In Star Trek V which would of been more interesting story than Spock’s unknown Brother.
and TEAGAN CLIVE was Unbelievible atractive for a woman her size ,(Heavy weigh Bodybuilder)
I think she had the best career abet the movies stunk, but with a much bigger budget they could of been classic
Filmography
Vice Academy Part 2
Mob Boss
The Alienator
Sinbad of the Seven Seas
Pathos – segreta inquietudine
Interzone
Mantis
Jumpin’ Jack Flash
Armed and Dangerous

Pathos – segreta inquietudine AKA Obession Of Fear/ Jumpin’ Jack Flash

Teagan was quite young when she did her films Vs.maybe Jayne Trcka&CHYNA who started acting during their “later”yrs
But more to the point,..Spice Williams in Star Trek V is an example of what OP meant whereas TEAGAN CLIVE had co-lead parts in Pathos/ Sinbad,..then Cast as the main villain in The ALienator&InterZone lends themselves more to my point of if you support filmmakers who employ FBBers then you’ll see it reflected in their work
