Western people simply don't understand how the "anime art style" works and what its appeal is.
They just see big eyes, small noses, or sharp and edgy = anime.
They don't understand what to simplify, what to exaggerate, and what the japanese focus on the most when designing their characters and drawing in an "anime art style".
This misunderstanding of the "anime art style" creates these uncanny abominations that you see in the OP image.

In short, western artists have no fucking clue how appeal works.
They just shoehorn their identity politics into their "anime-inspired art style" and call it a day.
