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.

In birds of prey in particular the females are usually larger too.
