No, this is not a joke rant. This is something I’m very serious about, because this is an issue plauging modern anime that must be discussed. No, this rant isn’t about body type diversity or anything dumb like that. No, this rant doesn’t contain any overt sexual content. Two posts on this sub each with a sizeable number of upvotes are talking about boobs, and while [this one] (https://old.reddit.com/r/CharacterRant/comments/83zpve/that_scene_in_kill_la_kill_and_why_its_necessary/?st=k4ot2nfc&sh=24f291c4) is serious in nature, [this one] (https://old.reddit.com/r/CharacterRant/comments/bzdwsi/of_course_tifas_tifas_werent_gonna_be_as_big_as/?st=k4ot2r0a&sh=685272be) absolutely isn’t.

Now from the title, you must think I have some sort of vendetta against big boobs. Like some buxom lady killed my family and ate their bodies or some crazy shit like that. However, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. I actually really love a nice, sizeable pair of tatas. The problem is that in most anime, every single character with two X chromosomes has humongous tiddies. And I know you might be thinking “well if you like buxom chicks, then why do you have a problem with every character having big boobs?”

To answer that question, I have to create an analogy. Imagine there’s a food you really like. Like, this shit is like ambrosia to you. You’d fucking kill to get at this food. But imagine if you had to eat it every day. After a while, it’d become really unappealing and gross. Eating it would be a chore. And that’s exactly what this overabundance of large breasts in anime has done to the viewer as a whole.

We’ve become desensitized to the most excellent nature of sumptuous sweater puppies because there’s just so many of them now. You stop from going “oh damn, those are some seriously sweet hooters” and start going “huh well that’s business as normal, I guess.” The fabulous nature of a proper pair of melons is lost, because of their ubiquity. In anime, it’s as if every adult female (and sometimes, not even then) is 70% flesh and 30% silicon. You lose that childhood mysticism and its replaced with cold indifference.

Remember that scene in The Incredibles when Syndrome says “And when everyone’s super….no one will be.” This is exactly what I’m talking about, only with gazongas instead of superpowers.

So if the majority of female characters in anime had smol tiddy, or at least medium-sized tiddy, all of us could appreciate the buxom a lot more.
