Just like some men don't dig the balloon boobs of characters like Ivy, women aren't a hive mind in interest. Creators follow a simple mindset. Men like boobs. Characters will have exaggerated boobs.

Most video game guys land in the latter category.</quote> I'm sure most dudes prefer a woman with proportions instead of "Steel sand in a bag" Ivy, but that's what the word exaggerated means.
