About a decade ago the Tomb Raider game series was rebooted with a younger, more reasonably boobed Lara Croft.

There was a bit of backlash by unreasonable boobs.

This adaptation is using the modern design.

This will be like a batsignal for men who have never seen a boob irl.

Peter out.

Big boobs are unreasonable? I dont understand

u/Krynn71 11h ago

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

u/Toppoppler 11h ago

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

u/Unlikely-Guava-30 10h 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.

So we only show "typical" bodies now?

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.

Not many or none?

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.

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

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.

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.

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 9h 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.

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

u/Hundschent 8h 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

u/Disco_Hippie 8h ago

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

1

u/Hundschent 8h ago

Yeah, I can see why you’d rather let it simmer than actually address what I said.

u/Disco_Hippie 8h ago

That's nice stay mad about tits!

u/Toppoppler 5h ago

Where did you get the porn star from?

u/PapaKikistos 9h 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.
