There's (un)realistic anatomy as in impossibly buxum or perky or amazing legs or whatever, which is one thing, and for the most part I have no real care about that except to find it sometimes funny. Whether it's attractive, interesting, "good" or whatever is subjective. Meh. "I don't know art but I know what I like etc"

There's un-realistic anatomy, though, which is just bad art - breasts going in various odd directions in an unsexy way or attached on to the abdomen instead of the chest or something really peculiar like that. I've polled various people who are attracted to women, and they usually can't overlook those sorts of problems because it's plain old bad art. Generally the two tumblrs I mentioned are about the second kind, the "Why did anyone pay for this?" sort of thing. That's why they're about professional commercial artists work, not random fan art or the like. It's about not meeting professional standards in a very specific area. I'm sure there's a tumblr devoted to Rob Liefeld's funny looking feet drawings and other such things.
