One of the debates that sometimes echoes onto /tg/: "Do amazons count as [[monstergirls]]?" In truest /tg/ fashion, [[skub|nobody can agree]].

One school argues that amazons can't be considered monstergirls for the same reason that you wouldn't consider "female [[fighter]]/[[barbarian]]/[[ranger]]" a monstergirl - they're human women who happen to be warriors. This often reinforced by the fact that, even if the amazons don't live with men, they still need to mate with men for children; such depictions usually portray them producing both female and male offspring, but the males are either sent away, gb2kitchen(Diablo II) or murdered at birth, depending on how [[grimdark]] the race is being presented as.

Another school argues that, taken to its "logical" conclusion, amazons can be considered monsters. This school depicts a "true" amazon as human subspecies that either needs to mate with human men to procreate and only produces daughters (a classic monstergirl trait), or more rarely produces both human sons and amazon daughters, or else as a subspecies that reproduces by parthenogenesis (ie, no sex required to get pregnant). They usually further this by depicting amazons as having a distinctive look; this may or may not touch upon the [[musclegirl]] fetish, but usually revolves around the amazon being notedly larger than human men - not a full-fledged [[giant]]ess, but around the size of an [[ogre]].

This has actually lead to "amazon" being used as a term on [[/d/]] for a specific subset of the "Macro" fetish; big enough for a size difference between female & male in favor of the female, but not building sized or larger women.

In the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]], the "Amazoness" (a result of bad English to Japanese to English translation) is a culture of tribal humans who were converted into a distinct [[succubus]] subspecies. Distinguished by their brown skin, runic tattoos, mild [[musclegirl]] build and possessing only a single horn and wing (a "sexy reference" to their infamous one-breasted look), these are forest-dwelling savages who hunt down human men and bring them back to their villages as husbands, where they become domestic carers in a cliche "reversed sexual roles" take on the Amazon archetype. Their biggest iconic kink is public sex.
