"Someone mind explaining how a robot — modeled after a mermaid, of all creatures — could have hips of this caliber?"

Because Doctor Wily is a pervert.

This line in the conditions: "The character is not meant to be objectified but the designer wants to make sure that she's seen as mature both mentally and physically."

Um, not to disrespect the intelligence of the one who put that there or look stupid, but how can one tell that without explicit Word Of God?

I think someone's assuming a bit too much. It is something of a trend I've seen among such characters, but it's nowhere near universal to the trope.

Why are there no real life examples of this? It is truuth in television as Women have wider pelvises than men for child birth and that means most women have hartman hips.

All that means is that women, as a whole, have wider hips than men. "Hartman Hips" is taking proportionally wide hips to an unrealistic degree in the name of stylized, frequently cartoonish attractiveness. In fairness, whatever one editor to the introduction may have had to say, I wouldn't be surprised to see some debatable cases in real life, but it certainly doesn't apply to "most women".

OBJECTION! This woman, Cathie Jung, has a case of Real Life Hartman Hips. Not to mention that this was caused by corsets, meaning that, technically, all humans are capable of Hartman Hips.

The trope says exaggerated pear shaped figure not hourglass like Cathie Jung. Also the character's in this trope have natural figures and are not help by a corsets or other methods

What is this in the article history? A dude deleted the caption. Fine with me. But the reason was "Terrible caption shows us how it's done." Nothing wrong with him thinking the caption's terrible. But "shows us how it's done" just...uh...what? What exactly is the caption showing us? How what's done?

This trope has 501 wicks, even after the trope repair, and a couple of the latest examples seem a little more fit for Hourglass Hottie. I think some pruning is in order.

And now we're down to 390. There's a decent amount of misusage but I say it's a pretty average amount for a trope. Not saying misusages are acceptable, but at the very least we're at a point where it would be really hard to misuse this trope.

Important note: Just because a character with large breasts was miss-tagged with Hartman Hips does not mean mean she is an Hourglass Hottie. Right now there's a TRS discussion on the trope, deciding whether or not to broaden it's horizon, feel free to give input. However until that issue get resolved do not add characters with realistic or plausible hourglass figures.

I think Birdy from Birdy The Mighty Decode has Hartman Hips.

Not seeing it. She has a pretty realistic hourglass figure

This isn't the first time deltanine has tried adding her to this page if you review the edit history. Both times I explained the bust <<<<<<<< hips requirement.
