Why Fighting games rarely made Mature female and Fat female characters

In Fighting games these are the types of Female characters, First we have the sexy curvy woman, Then we have the athletic muscular woman, Then we have the cute innocent looking teenage girls, and skinny women.
When It comes to the Male Roster, we have Men of Different shapes sizes, We have skinny Guys, Steroid Guys, Androgynous guys, Fat Guys, Old men, pretty boys and Ugly men.
I notice fighting games rarely make female characters who are overweight, They rarely made Older female characters (though we already have some characters who are mom's they were still attractive for their age)
They always make sure female characters looks attractive. Fighting games have huge roster of characters to represent people of different walks of life. Why is it allowed to make Ugly Male characters but all female characters.
I think the least attractive female characters they do are Tomboyish girls but they can still be considered cute. But they dont make characters like a Granny or a plain Jane.

I think because fighting games are mostly played by men the Male Gender. I don't think we ( male ) want to play as a fat girl or a grandma, since it will not give us the great feeling as we play if the character is a sexy Hot beautiful girl. The developer of the games know this, and that is why they mostly make what the buyer / gamer wants.

ZWzhy do you think Ugly male characters are more acceptable? I think every fighting games always have 1 to 4 ugly male characters.

by far the only fat female character a fighting game have is Panda from Tekken, and she is not human, she is a freaking Panda that does kung fu.
Kitana and her mom from Mortal Kombat are the oldest female characters in a fighting game, they were like 10,000 years old but they were freakin immortals wo dont age.
I think little girls also became a trend in fighting games,

It may be because fighting games are mainly designed for men to play.
Since most men do not enjoy old women or (I don't want to be rude, but this is the word used to describe them) fat women, the women in the games are voluptous and slim, like any man would like.
Just for the record, the ultimate purpose of them is to sell the game, not to discredit fat women, not at all.

That could a reason for sure, women rarely play fighting games, I think fighting game developers did try to attract female players. I think usually the "skinny pretty boy" type characters are marketed to women. I think women do like female characters since but the ones they like
Chun-li is Muscular but in a way they manage to make her attractive and she is the most iconic female fighting game character since she is the first one.
I think female fighting game characters are divided into these groups:
1.Little Girls- Fighting games started adding children on their roster, I guess to attract younger players.sometimes they were adorable but sometimes they were irritating cos of their high pitch voice.
2.Teenage girls-usually they were highschool students-I think they were created for the anime crowed.Usually they were very cute and innocent looking. almost the same with the children characters.all of them are skinny. Usually they were flat chested.
3.Sexy women-They were the most common for sure they were designed top be super sexy. usually their melons are large in size.
4.Tomboys-Boyish and androgynous girls, they were not pretty but their bodies are still slim and they were still cute.

Isnt it weird that men found Fat men,old men and Ugly men acceptable in fighting games?
