@trogdor thanks to Anime&Manga we actually have a canonical question to explain what I meant. Should you want to follow the link, I advise that you first look at the url.
Coincidentally, this should also give you a clue about why I try to avoid the Anime&Manga site even if I watch anime.
which is funny, since the original Nami used to have far more natural body proportions, to the point that she was basically given a lookalike in Harvest Moon.
That said, I would say that that specific character would have a lot of reasons for not going around wearing just some swimwear and a pair of pants
As Kureha said (going by memory, can't find the exact quote now)
"This fever is transmitted by an insect that should have been extinct for thousand of years now"
> "have you been running around some prehistoric island wearing just a swimsuit?"
I would think that after risking to die once because you managed to catch some tropical fever and getting told that you could maybe have avoided that with better clothes......
@trogdor no wait, she DID catch the fever because she was running around on a prehistoric island wearing some clothes that she probably stole from Shantae wardrobe.
Well, the joke wouldn't have worked otherwise. The doctor said something she though was absurd because she didn't see any way someone could manage to catch that illness nowadays.... and that was exactly what actually happened in the first place.
theory: Chaser's War on Everything-style reality TV comedy following someone who's running for president as a convoluted prank expecting to fail very early, but they don't so they keep running with it expecting to fail sooner or later, and get all the way to election day without pulling out of the race and eventually wind up actually elected and completely unprepared for this having happened. (But they go on to become a fairly decent president anyway.)
