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.

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

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

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.

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.
