Yeah, Brother Haraldus is a chick and Sister Sydney is a dude... truly, nothing on the internet makes any sense any more.

I'm more than a little creeped out by how many threads get turned into discussions about SM genitalia..........seriously.
I think the "SM squat" is just lazy sculpting on GW's part. There are plenty of ways to pose SM legs than that, but they seem determined to copy themselves all the time, even what that's a bad thing. Forgeworlds sculptors are so much better at getting dynamic poses, which could just as easily be in the normal GW plastics.
I thought when they first came out with the kneeling legs in plastic it would be a cool thing for variation, but then I realized that they are kneeling on the wrong (left) leg for a right-handed shooter, so they look stupid with most "firing bolter" poses.

I've always assumed (and will countenance no evidence to the contrary. No. I'm not going to look... or listen) that it's a Young Frankenstein kind of thing. Yes, I know that kids these days don't watch satires of 80 year old horror movies, but, still...
It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.
Well, just found some evidence of my "Larman's Hose"-theory. In the Cypher-Dataslate one of the short-stories tell about a fallen who's got his Palace with integrated Harem. So no, definitely something working down there.

The OP doomed us to the discussion.

I get that most people will want their minis to be in some sort of dynamic pose, but one or two in a state of relaxation would be nice.
Or do Space Marines have really big packages, and need some room to breathe?

Forgeworld does it right!!!
Blessed be Forge World, bringing us the miniatures that we need, although not at the prices that we deserve.

The flared-out armor around their ankles does not allow them to stand or walk without spreading wide. I imagine watching one try to walk or run to be pretty hilarious.
P.S. All SMs are eunuchs. They have no package to speak of.

I have no words for this thread. Just confusion and a slight hint of sadness.
At least we don't have squatting marines. With the MK7 mouth piece looking as it is, I think we'd see some Sister Dialogous level models...
Pretre: OOOOHHHHH snap. That's like driving away from hitting a pedestrian.
