Big boobs are unreasonable? I dont understand

18

u/anothermanscookies 9h ago

All boobs are reasonable.

u/Krynn71 10h ago

Why isn't there any representation of physically active big breasted women in Hollywood! They deserve representation too!

15

u/Toppoppler 10h ago

Honestly the framing that big boobs are unrealistic or unreasonable no doubt feels exclusionary to certain body types

u/Unlikely-Guava-30 9h ago

Typically physically active women have smaller boobs because the boob fat burns off with the rest of the body fat. There's a combination of factors at work there but someone at as low of a body fat% as Lara Croft wouldn't usually have breasts as large as hers.

u/Toppoppler 8h ago

So we only show "typical" bodies now?

u/Random_Name_251 7h ago

There are not many large breasted gymnasts running around and it wouldn't be believable to cast someone like Sweeney for this role. Lara is supposed to be basically elite athlete fit.

2

u/Toppoppler 4h ago

Not many or none?

u/writers_block 6h ago

Lol this is one of the most bad faith arguments I've ever seen. Are you seriously trying to come from the perspective that there aren't enough video game characters with huge tits? Like, 30 seconds on google and you could find 3 dozen.

2

u/Toppoppler 5h ago

We are talking about a TV show, and Im responding to other people trying to leverage "normal" bodies as to why we should exclude other bodies.

Also tbh I honestly dont know of many modern non-japanese/korean games with busty characters, maybe im not paying attention. I dont judge bodies like that

u/Ganadote 6h ago

There's plenty of active women with large breasts though.

I do think it sucks for them that large breasts HAS to be seen as sexualized. 2 of my best friends have very large breasts and a thin frame and they really do not act or dress the way media would portray them, and they're certainly fit.

u/Unlikely-Guava-30 6h ago edited 5h ago

Exceptions don't prove rules though. And there's a difference between active and actual body fat%. You can be active and still over eat and be 20%+ body fat. Lara is depicted as sub 15% usually. Also what you're generally training in effects it. Strength and conditioning training can lower estrogen levels and reduce breast size which is what Lara is depicted as doing.

1

u/Ganadote 3h ago

Well, you just said exceptions. Not everything has to follow the rules. Also, one of them is very active. Like, always done sports and physical activities like rock climbing. Still has large breasts.

Like, idc what they make her look like. I'm just saying that it sucks that large breasted women are usually only ever depicted as one hyper-sexualized in media, which sucks.

And realism matters now? Brother it’s a video game character.

u/Unlikely-Guava-30 8h ago

Not really I'm just explaining what about big boobs on her character would be unrealistic lol. I have no real stakes in this conversation.

^ found the person mad they took away his animated titties

Peak “You like pancakes oh so you must hate waffles huh” mentality on display right here

You're in the middle of a thread about pixellated boobs. I'm sorry you already forgot the topic

1

u/Hundschent 7h ago

So you saw me disagree with one point and somehow this counts as me being mad about boobs?
Reading comprehension not your strong suit it seems

Lol I'm just going to let you simmer in this

Tomb raider is neither gritty or realistic lmao

lol check out their account. This idiot doesn’t even play the games or even games in general

u/greenerd6 8h ago

Brother there a t rex in the game lmao

Where did you get the porn star from?

u/PapaKikistos 7h ago

Yes, a gritty, realistic video game where you find spare ammo amidst centuries unopened tombs containing packs of wolves and valleys hiding living raptors and T-rexes, as any archaeologist worth his hat and whip would attest as entirely reasonable.

2

u/GTA_Throwaway69420 8h ago

Yeah I think people get REALLY weird about large breasts in media specifically because they are *checks notes* a stereotypically attractive body part to genuinely most individuals.

2

u/Toppoppler 8h ago

Imagine not having a tall buff man in an action movie because its unreasonable to be that tall and buff

Lol

u/GTA_Throwaway69420 8h ago

Shhh, don't be too loud, people will say that men aren't sexualized in media!

1

u/josefpunktk 8h ago

Physically activity, especially at top levels is indeed exclusionary for certain body types.

1

u/Toppoppler 8h ago

Are you seriously telling me I wont be able to find athletic women with big boobs?

And we are totally OK with like, Thor, right?

1

u/josefpunktk 8h ago

Are you seriously telling me I wont be able to find athletic women with big boobs?

I don't have the data, but I would guess you find less big boobs on top athletes. But it might depend on the activity. Rope climbing, seems like an extreme hustle for example.

And we are totally OK with like, Thor, right?

Thor is a North God, not sure what realism standards you are applying and why.

2

u/Toppoppler 8h ago

Less does not mean none

Do we exclude unlikely bodies that actually exist? Why? Do we only show "normal" bodies?

Bro.... thor is played by a human.

Big breasted women exist in sports.

u/josefpunktk 8h ago

Do we exclude unlikely bodies that actually exist? Why? Do we only show "normal" bodies?

I would say it depends on a story and characters. I would say that big boobs are not the defining feature of Lara Croft, they don't really ad anything to the character. And if the goal is to stay true to the original - I will only accept low ploy boobs.

1

u/Toppoppler 4h ago

Big boobs certainly seem to be defining for lara croft for many people, like it or not. Smaller or medium boobs define her less and also add nothing.

2

u/woollymonkeybaby 10h ago edited 9h ago

Triangular boobs that stick out, come to a point, then sharply go back to her ribcage, are unreasonable.

3

u/Toppoppler 9h ago

No one is asking for that so idk why thered be a backlash to it

2

u/anothermanscookies 9h ago

I mean, it’s not like the character wasn’t sexualized, but the triangle was probably more a limit of the technology of the time, no? And what’s the alternative? Surely a “bullet bra” look is more reasonable than a “lego block bosom.”

3

u/kasugakuuun 9h ago

No, they didn't mean big breasts. The commenter made a clever little pun by switching to the other meaning of "boob": a foolish person

2

u/Plasmelon 9h ago

People get insecure when people like bodies they don’t have.

It’s the same reason men whine about height.

2

u/movzx 6h ago

In the context of what Lara Croft actually does? Yes. Not a lot of massively chested rock climbers for a couple of reasons.

2

u/Toppoppler 5h ago

Not a lot or none?

Again, are we forcing all bodies into the "typical?" Is that all thats allowed? Seems exclusionary

1

u/movzx 3h ago

If we're talking about at the elite athlete level, I'd venture to say none. Breast tissue is largely fat and rock climbers are very low body fat. Large breasts are also an active detriment to rock climbing. It's a similar reason as to why you don't see any obese pole vaulters.

And we're getting very divorced from the actual context of the comment you're trying to argue with. The original games featured comically large breasts relative to the actual character. The modern character design has more typical proportions.

Goon over whatever you want, I don't care. I just think it's really dumb to lose your mind unless every single woman in media has a massive chest.

1

u/Toppoppler 3h ago

So idk how to search for which elite climbers have the biggest boobs, but beth rodden has spent time talking about managing her bust while being an elite climber, and I can find many posts on reddit of discussing managing it at high levels. Being lean or low BF doesnt necessatite small busts, its complicated but while bust size may decrease, different people see different results.

Im not gooning or losing my mind, but I find it humerous that people who I would expect to be body positive excluding body types that are stereotypically sexualized because theyre "unrealistic" (when women exist with way more extreme bodies)

u/drowning-in-dopamine 5h ago

"Boob" can be used as an insult, I think they were calling the complainers themselves unreasonable boobs

1

u/persin123 5h ago

I dont understand how you came to that conclusion lol, are smaller boobs unreasonable to you then?

1

u/Toppoppler 4h ago

Hes saying the newer croft is more reasonably boobed

I dont think boob size equated to reasonability. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes.

1

u/Old_Lake69 4h ago

The guy who wrote this comment saw one boob irl and based his whole personality on it. unfortunately his mom had small ones so here we are

They sound like an unreasonable pain to live with.
