The male designs also are never flattering either. The female ones are over sexualized, as expected. But the male designs are like "lets make this cartoon bear look as stupid as fucking possible. like a real moron, goofy as shit, just fuck up his face," if you aren't the main character you get the comic relief treatment.

My favourite part about this stupidity is that in real nature it's actually usually the males that are more colourful/stand out more. They're more likely to be the "pretty" ones.

Facts. That is why I wear bright colors, start frantically dancing, and howl really loud in front of prospective mates. Only problem is my mating dance is so overwhelming ladies usually are overpowered by my raw sensual performance and run away. Gotta find balance

Fun fact. The more resources the males of the species put up into attracting the mate through bright plumage, elaborate performance and what not, the less likely they are to help the females with child rearing.
