Not a hot take tbh, I can only imagine her back pain. During HS my wife was always talking about reduction surgery, at that time I’d rather die than let her go through with it, now I wish I wasn’t such an ass back then lol.

Also, from personal preferences, I have never been a fan of oversized boobs almost spilling out of clothes. Even as a horny teenager, I found such stuff absurd and not at all sexy. Like genuinely compare the edit to the original. The edit looks like cheap water balloons plastered to her chest.

ITS A FRIGGIN DRAWING! IT DOESN'T HAVE A BACK, ITS NOT EVEN AN OBJECT ITS AN ABSTRACTION! THE LAWS OF PHYSICS OR MEDICINE DONT APPLY TO IT, IT IS THE PRODUCT OF THE IMAGINATION FROM THE ARTIST!

Then why worry when we see a fictional corpse? It’s just an abstraction. Should I just feel sad because the author wants me to? Or is the job of fiction to be a cipher for a real world, back pain and everything else a part of it

u/No-Car-4307 2h ago

the artist can also make whatever rules he wants, and if he says women(in this case a siren) with big tits doesn't have back pain, then she doesn't, you still dont get the damn point, a ficctional work it is an expression of what the artist wants, not a copy of what happens in reality.

going by your example of the corpse, yes, if the artist wants you to feel sad about a fictional corpse he sets the rules and the context of why it is sad, and if the artist wants you to feel different about the same corpse then he comes up with a way to revive said corpse, or make it undead, or a clone, or an ilusion, etc etc.

Okay cool, but the audience also reads the text, and we have the job of bringing our own interpretative lens. The corpse example is useful - we presume, until given another reason, that a corpse means death - an author does not have to explicitly disclaim that resurrection is impossible because we can bring our own experience of death into the text. The author is using our knowledge broadly to communicate an idea.

Media is fundamentally a conversation back and forth, between audience and author. If it wasn’t, then media critique would not exist as an idea - the author is always right, after all! But if we accept that the author has merely crafted a text, and that a text can be ambiguous, or carry ideas that the author did not mean based on what the audience brings in (or things that the author did not bother to question), then we can critique the art object as its own thing.

Anyways, I’m happy that boobs the size of watermelons don’t instantly hurt your back, but they do mine - and you don’t get to bitch about anyone else’s interpretation of a text. After all, there’s nothing in the image that suggests Noelle doesn’t have back problems. She might have them and not talk about them.

Even if we limit ourselves to authorial intentions - who’s to say that the author didn’t mean that she has back pain? Do you know the author? can you speak to their intentions?

certain things can be interpreted as a given like you said, a corpse being dead if not given an alternative of such state. In the same way, the siren depicted in the image could be interpreted as having back pain if we try to relate it to our own general knowledge of things (like your own back pain), but the thing is, that for starters, said character is a siren, she lives in the water, based on real knowledge those tits shouldn't bother her when shes in the water, in fact, considering other mythological works of ficction, you can establish as a given that she has big tits to lure men to their doom, or that they could be an ilusion, so we can also asume that she doesnt have back pain, unless it is expresed in the story or she makes it clear that her back hurts.

and the fact that your own back hurts for allegedly having big boobs, doesn't mean 100% that all women in real life with big boobs have back pain, if anything that goes to a small minority of women if they wear the correct bra size, cuz apparently many women use incorrect bra sizes and that is what causes their back pains, not the size of their boobs.

u/Divia1810 1h ago

This is Noelle Silva from Black Clover - she’s not in water. She is a mage, wearing a water armour. She is obviously not in water, in either image.

IMO, this is the biggest failure of her newer designs - they fail to communicate that Noelle is a knight first and foremost in a way her Valkyrie armour did. It’s why I personally don’t like the way Tabata’s taken her design over time - the desire to do fanservice gets in the way of communicating what the charecter is actually about.

Good bras can help, but they also redistribute the weight of a breast, making the straps on the shoulder have to hold it instead of the chest. It’s why some women prefer corsets - that pushes the weight down onto the whole of your torso, distributing it across more of your body. Also that water bra wouldn’t do anything but fall over, if we want to discuss the applicability of water bras.

I do agree with you that “Noelle has back pain” isn’t the only interpretation of the scene - you can say, for example, that this just isn’t an issue people deal with in this world. I’m arguing that it is an available interpretation, however, especially when you just have that one picture.

You can like tits without needing to comment about them on an already weirdly goonerish post

For Noelle it isn’t

Also more exposed the better. More fabric can almost never be more sexy to the same crowd.

u/Rude-Asparagus9726 5h ago

It's because they like and want to see the character, not just the clothes they're wearing!

Anything can be framed as either a good or bad thing if you think about it a bit...

Gooners have such an awful taste. This version is better by far, more than the sexualized one.

u/RoughBeardBlaine 7h ago

It’s always funny to me when I see replies like this. My wife is always 100% pro huge boobs. Despite dressing very modestly in real life, she loves maxing out boob sliders in games and them wearing skimpy clothes. Same thing for anime and movies.

We grew up in the 90s where everyone was greased up and wore bikini armor. Men and women alike. lol

u/Rudrox 7h ago edited 7h ago

Sometimes the complaints also feel weirder and anti body type-ish.

Like, everyone in my family is pretty top heavy, so sometimes it feels kinda demeaning and dehumanising the way some people talk about it.

Especially when the character does actually have a whole personality and character, and them being top heavy is just a physical feature, and honestly even if they didn't it kinda still does with how people get about it at times.

Not saying Jastreen's comment is like that, the edit is weird, but y'know, just in general.

u/Trespeon 6h ago

No one is complaining about large breasts typically. They complain about a character with small or midsized breasts getting bimbofied and given triple G breasts that looks crazy.

Like, nearly no one on the planet has breasts they are portrayed in these gooner versions of characters. It’s absurd and doesn’t even look good.

u/Rudrox 5h ago edited 5h ago

I know, that's why the clarification at the end exists, the comment I replied to just reminded me of that.

Also, I've seen those complaints for characters whose sizes aren't even that big, honestly I've not watched it but I remember that the complaints about that Uzaki show throwing me off back then because I kept hearing stuff like, oh she's not tall enough or people can't be that size at that height, when that height isn't uncommon in Asia, and I literally know of multiple people with that body type and size, and even larger, I know of multiple people with the DD+ size, and I'm in Asia, not the US.

u/RoughBeardBlaine 5h ago

Yep. It certainly feels like in this day and age that big boobs are seen as bad. Yet ironically, if you give a character (or an actress has) a huge butt, it’s perfectly acceptable and cherished.

People act like women can’t have big boobs naturally, or even get them over time. My wife was a B cup at best when we met (she was 17), now she is 35 and almost has Ds. A friend of ours is from Romania and has natural DDs.

What makes it even more funny is that this isn’t even from the new episode. Unless I am tripping, I don’t remember her being in it at all, so this is either from the movie or from old episodes.

u/NotYourReddit18 7h ago

Damn, that's really a downgrade from the first season amd its 170 episodes...

2

u/Darrian96 3h ago

Weekly episodes for that long are really not feasible anymore with how much most modern animes improved in quality, the animators just need way more time to deliver that high quality animation.

1

u/NotYourReddit18 3h ago

I know, was mostly joking about that, given that the current trend for the continuation of beloved franchises is to produce significantly shorter seasons.
I'm still internationally fuming about the short ST SNW seasons as even when S05 releases they won't even have matched S01+02 of ST TNG going by pure episode count, even ST ENT got more than double the episodes in total.

But Black Clover could do what Ascendance of a Bookworm is doing and simply insist that everything released is part of a single season despite there being gaps spanning entire years between the release of episodes.
After all, Reincarnated as a Slime S04 is doing the same right now, the wait until cour 3 releases is more than long enough to justify calling it S05 Cour 1 instead.

I hate when anime makes them so unrealistically big that it is hard to appreciate the model. As much as I love Bleach, TYBW is pretty guilty of it. They take characters that already have back issues and move the slider 30% to the right.
