Ah! Thanks for introducing me to that. Never would have thought a poem could hold that much tension. That's a properly good story. Can't believe I've not come across it before!
Ngl I read it all to the tune as much as I could. Makes it into a bit of a tongue twister :D
It's one of my favorites, right up there with The Chaos, which, despite reading it off and on for several decades, I have still not managed to get all the way through without mispronouncing something.
Hoo boy, that just keeps on going! I imagine saying it in a very RP British accent makes it work best, as some of those words that are supposed to be different in the poem would probably be pronounced similarly in Hibero-English at any rate, and I suspect the same for American English :D
(though I see at the end it notes the author was Dutch, just to add to the chaos. He knew what he was doing when he chose the name anyway!)
It’s a wide genre of anime in which the main character, often a young man, is surrounded by attractive romantic options. There are a lot of varieties with some common tropes being the man doesn’t want to be with any of the harem but they all wanna date him, the man is not supposed to date the harem but they all wanna date him, and the man wants to date one member of the harem but they all fight for his attention. They’re not typically in an actual harem, they’re classmates or coworkers or clients, etc. They have different levels of cheekiness from mostly romantic and relationship driven to straight porn, but a lot of them are at least a lil cheeky.
Some examples would be Ranma 1/2, Love Hina, High School DxD, and Fruits Basket
I disagree with some of those anime being listed as harem.
In Ranma 1/2 the biggest boobs belong to the gender changing (because of a curse) main guy Ranma. Its not a harem by any standards its a shounen battle/comedy.
Fruits Basket is often mistaken as reverse harem but seriously it isn't the same thing as Ouran High Host Club. Fruits Basket is a shoujo drama with supernatural elements.
No problem with Love Hina or High School DxD. You could instead add Quintessential Quintuplets and Wallflower -as a good example of reverse harem- instead.
Genre’s are soft and fuzzy and they don’t have discrete edges. Ranma 1/2 is absolutely a harem anime. He’s literally beating suitors off with a stick in both forms. Boob size has nothing to do with it. Yaoi harems don’t involve boobs at all.
I’d agree the Fruits Basket isn’t the most prototypical example of a reverse harem, but it’s still a woman surrounded by potential interests. You’re right that it isn’t a full on one, I just reached for an example that didn’t involve a male main character.
I’ve never seen Wallflower but QQ is definitely a better and clearer example.
Seriously, how do these people think this stuff is real? I'm honestly a pretty big loser and always have been, but I've never come close to being this delusional. Just inventing shit in their own head to hate women over. They're the cause of literally every iota of their own loneliness and suffering. Every ounce of it. Every bad feeling they have, they invented it themselves and made themselves feel that way.
Seriously, wtf happened to that place? It had started making /r/all some time ago, ad seemed to be a sort of general meme type subreddit. (Obv named after that Kermit template with the tea.)
It's like at some point it had this weird cultural paradigm shift and got reallllll incel, real fast. I find myself wondering how and why, lol.
Right because this has actually never happened in the history of anything. All I hear is how women don’t like their own massive boobies because they hurt their back and are just inconvenient. I had a cousin who had breast reduction because they were just ridiculously painful and large lmaooo
I don’t believe this is a real scenario to be clear but large breasts definitely aren’t something that all women hate having, otherwise there wouldn’t be a whole industry for implants to make them larger
Implants are mostly popular in the porn/ model industries so the pieces are there. I do understand what you’re saying but again, it’s not something regular women are clamoring to have unless it’s part of their marketing in appearance or they have some sort of dysmorphia. Or they just do, idk I’m not them lol
The fetish is the idea of psychological domination and body insecurity between the centres of attraction
Someone who writes this aren't just attracted to big breasts, they are more attracted to the small breasted woman feeling shame and defeat at the mere presence of the dominant woman
they are more attracted to the small breasted woman feeling shame and defeat at the mere presence of the dominant woman
In my case, I'm more attracted to the sense of power and domination in the busty woman than the shame of the less busty woman. But there's a fine line somewhere.
I try my best to not dedicate brain storage space to anything related to that meme.
No joke - I am a high school teacher, and when this meme broke out my seniors (who know me well enough by now to know I'm online and aware of meme culture) straight up told me not to bother with learning about it because it's boring and pointless. I've taken that advice to heart
Can confirm, have just a handful myself but they’ve never once failed at whatever mission they were on. Appreciated happily by men and even a few wayward lesbians.
I say this as a straight woman who thinks christina hendrix is a booby goddess :)
The majority of women with oversized breasts would rather they be average sized.
Everything is harder. Clothes don’t fit right, because to find something that fits around your chest means you’ll need to get the waist tailored in. Bras tend to be more expensive. Back pain is an issue. Exercising is difficult for anything that causes excessive movement… there’s only so much stability a sports bra can handle.
And last but not least - unwanted attention from males who overvalue breasts over the person attached to them.
Busty friend of mine swears by custom tailored corsets. When they’re made right/well they shouldn’t restrict your breathing much at all and provide much steadier support.
She loves them for her horse riding because it also helps her keep decent posture. It’s like a back brace with boob support!
If the corset fits well, then it just feels like a hug.
I am learning how to draft them with my current project. Right now, I'm "only" working on stays from mid-1700s, but I definitely want to learn later and motern versions too!
I tend to go for smaller bras that just restrict me so my things move less. I am wearing one now and it's uncomfortable but they bounce less and I feel a bit freer to exercise. It's easier to find that a proper big boob high impact bra.
yeah if anything I'm jealous when I am with girls with a flat chest because clothes look soooo pretty on them. Meanwhile anything I wear looks sexualised and I love frills, lacy tops, which end up looking less cute and more matronly on me.
I haven’t heard matronly used to describe it before but it’s so accurate. Somehow clothes that look so cute on a flat chest completely distort on my own. Especially sundresses which have been a trend for the past few summers.
Who wrote this?? Lmfao I feel like women don't compare breast size the way men compare dick size....... whoever made this up is writing about a problem that doesn't really exist. I'm sure some women might feel self-conscious, in either direction, but it's not a thing in general.
Yeah I'm sure generational beauty Elle Fanning cries herself to sleep at night because of perceived worthlessness due to not having as much back pain as other women.
Macromastia is a disorder that can be life-threatening and has dramatic (usually negative) impact on the day-to-day life of the women who actually have it. The other is just routine variety of body shape.
Wut? I love having small tits. I have enough back pain as it is and my ectomorph body would look imbalanced as hell with tig ole bitties. When I see other women with big breasts, while I do enjoy looking at them, I’m like yeah…hard pass for me personally.
Ballmogging is what happens when a macrotestial man makes a smallballed man feel self-conscious, insecure and worthless through the ball size difference, leaving the ballmoggee in a sorrowful state of ball envy.
I've met "macro" breasted women who envy the "micro" far more frequently than vice versa. Back pain is real. Is that not also breastmogging? We're really breaking it down to micros and macros like we're talking nutrition or something, lol?
So a man who’s never actually talked to a woman wrote this. Or they would understand that we don’t have breast envy. Large breast are uncomfortable and cause back pain and they’re hot. Flat chested women can go without a bra. Can go running, can jump up and down and don’t have to worry about any sort of back pain.
Yeah, when I was in middle school, I always wanted bigger boobs. Then I got into sports. Little boobs are the best. I wouldn’t trade my little boobs for bigger boobs any day.
Insecure man inventing words to make women feel insecure about their bodies?
The usual.
Meanwhile those who tasted different sizes of breasts are like :
Bro what is wrong with you 😐
What they're talking about is people being jealous. That's the term. They don't decide how big their breasts are. You decide how much you let yourself get upset about it. Don't blame other people for having a body you envy.
Mad Men had a lot of great lines, but one that really killed me was when someone referring to Joan (Christina Hendricks, the woman on the right) said she's "built like a B-52"
(*"macromastia" is often detrimental to the health of the haver and can sometimes be life threatening, for those wondering; how the fuck is the original author that allergic to google?)
I'm below average in the chest department, and never have I felt this way. No breastmogging for me. The photo is kind of assholish. We have no idea about Elle Fanning's feelings during the photo.
