Might want to post that here.

- Due to varying perspectives on feminine beauty, female bodybuilders are either seen as Amazonian Beauties or Brawn Hildas. There is little of a middle ground in regards to this, and the subject matter usually leads to many heated discussions and the use of negative comments about the lifestyle of a FBB (i.e. steroid use and so on). Since fitness and figure competition is similar in several aspects to bodybuilding, these women also tend to be grouped with female bodybuilders by proxy. While most of these women have enough self-esteem to ignore these comments, such words isn't exactly good for a gal's confidence.

>In Exit Fate, the character Brunhild fits this trope for many reasons. Please tell me. She comes from a quasi-norse country, and she can be considered slightly unfeminine. But that doesn't make her a Brawn Hilda, does it? octagon

This trope explicitly states the women in question to be unattractive - I don't think there should be real-life examples. It seems impolite.
