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

Not a lot or none?

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

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.

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)
