Anime girls are the shadow on the cave wall. A sad reflection of the eternal true form of real women.

but generally how it's going to look draw a line bisecting the circle, and a second line bisecting the circle. I guess this is still kinda hard but you should be able to get pretty close by just drawing a vertical line that cuts the circle in half, rotating the paper, and then drawing another vertical line that cuts the circle in half. ie doesn't matter what angle as long as you cut the circle exactly in half. Now you should have a middle point of the circle, where those two lines intersect. Draw a line segment (let's call it OB for the origin of the circle to point B) projecting from that circle midpoint going out (or use one of your first two lines) - you want to focus on where this point B, at the intersection of that line segment and your circle is. Using your compass, with one point of the compass at B, draw a second, smaller circle around that point B. That circle should intersect the first circle at two more points, let's call them A and C. Draw a line between A and C. Level your ruler on the line between A and C and shift it up to B at the same angle. Draw a line.
You now have your line tangeant to the circle.

@jeffcliff @hidden @Bloomfer @renai @kekkerel You can do it with a ruler only (no compass). This is one of my favorite math facts.
From the given point, draw three lines which cut the circle. Then draw criss crosses between those intersection points, and lastly draw a line between the two criss cross intersections. That line hits the circle in two points which are the points of tangency.

Please construct a line tangent to a circle using only a compass, ruler and pen

Is this a discussion about the trigonometric functions?

Women are of course constructed mostly out of sine waves.
Also obligatory. You guys should play this if you haven't already.

@kekkerel @hidden i'd lean more toward the first option seeing as they're idealized and not trying to emulate what the average woman is, approaching the idea in the creator's mind of how they'd be ideally, like the concept of a straight line not found anywhere in nature. it's completely unrealistic on purpose

@renai @hidden *or rather whether anime are representations of woman as idea or representations of the wall shadows which we understand to be women.

@renai @hidden
The more interesting question is whether anime are representations of woman itself or representations of the wall shadows.

@kekkerel @hidden the form of woman-ness which all embody in some capacity but none reach. so in a twist it's women who are the wall-shadows

@hidden Even the eternal true form of women is itself a manifestation of the idea of the eternal true form of women, of which women are only instances.
The artistic depiction could be described as degenerated manifestations of the same idea.
