Seriously ? A woman blacksmith ? Dressed like that with exposed hanging breasts whilst sparks fly and a fire-catching garment and loose hair ?
.
Females were not allowed near sword-making in old Japan. Same reason as western sailors hated women on ships etc.. Superstition. But it still precluded them from making swords.
A pretty picture, agreed, but as with women wielding 180 lb weapons, I fear for what future people will consider possible.

For someone who ranted about realism, you spelled out the one thing that many got wrong about melee weapons, and that have been debunked by historians and people who tries to remake medieval combat. Even a zweihander weighted 4.4–7.1 lb/2–3.2 kilograms tops.

I think Claverhouse was referring to fantasy weapons, which tend to include things like swords larger than the person wielding them, or hammers that are several feet thick of solid metal that would likely weigh more than a car in real life.

Uh, I think even in the fantasy world, the hammer that possess weights comparable to a car doesn't exist. Unless you're referring to a gigantic hammer wielded by giants, of course.

Also, with that gallery: nice updraft.
Granted, men are better than women in strength, which is why the former is trationally relegated to blacksmithing. But there are-and have been- female smiths before. Ever seen one of those "Rosie the Riveter" posters? There were a few women who blacksmith for a living AND look like Miss Rosie displaying a hunk of muscle. The only thing that is worth to call out on this particular Danbooru image of a female blacksmith is that her smith's apron bought to be covering her breasts. Of course I joked that she might be trying to get a debilerate tan in her chest skin, though furances can get quite hot.
In any case, do not get so worked up. In the end, it is just art.
