    Long ago in a distant land men created a likeness of their goddess in clay. Their cities and culture were destroyed, but the clay figurines remained.

      Cucuteni-Trypillian society is believed to have been matriarchal/matrifocal based on available evidence! The artists may well have been women celebrating themselves

        True! I was trying to use it in a general sense, like all mankind, while also implying that we’ve always been horny and chasing after thick thick thighs.

          The year is 3000. Sometime in the 2800s, a movement to refer to males as “human”, and thus leave “man” to specifically refer to all mankind, began. Millenia of confusion and infighting swept away, with the last of the etymologists and morphologists pointing out the root meaning of “wo-“ giving it all up in the ‘980s. The world is at peace…

        I wonder how much of the furry spawning this movie did has to do with the fact it’s also just an unironically good movie. I was immune to it’s corrupting influence though, I was too busy trying to figure out if the different animals represented different ethnicities or if they were set for a doomed world due to the fact they couldn’t interbreed. I was a weird 4 year old.

        I had such confusing feelings about both Robin Hood and Maid Marian… then I learned what “furry” meant a decade later when the internet was a thing regular people could be on! Then I learned people can be bi! That all cleared up a lotttt of confusion hahaha

            For some reason, Bugs never gave me any weird feelings! I had a lot of dreams about Tails when I was little though, and I wasn’t even a big Sonic fan. I just wanted to hold his hand and like, go on adventures?

    My girlfriend has these thighs. I refuse to let her feel self-conscious about them. I’m “gifted” above and she’s “gifted” below and together we’ve achieved a perfect balance. 👭

    That is because all the feminist had been at war with animated women with boobs. So they moderated the boobs and had to make them look feminine some other way.

      Lilo and Stitch: 2002.

      The Incredibles: 2004.

      The Road to El Dorado: 2000.

      The MeToo movement and GamerGate were in like, the early 2010s.

      Your timeline here doesn’t work. I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess most of these movies are older than you are.

        I really dont care if you agree or not. Its not my idea. Its something I read and agree with. The interview I watched was done by a woman and the consensus was that when drawing women if you can’t ignore their natural attributes completely. If this causes some butthurt thats tough.

        Edit: Oh and if you imagine the timeline for all of this started in the ealy 2010’s then you are really, really young.

          … Could you maybe provide this interview?

          Do you understand how context works?

          This is a thread, about an image.

          I am talking about that image, and what you said initially.

          If you have other context… it would make sense to explain or introduce that.

          Otherwise, what you are doing is ‘oh, my girlfriend goes to a different school, and no, i won’t tell you which one.’

          The alternative here to you being a confused zoomer, is you being a boomer who i guess cannot comprehend the idea that everyone does not have the same set of knowledge and opinions that you do.

          ‘Oh but the interview! I’m correct because this thing that wasn’t part of the conversation, untill now, when I remembered it!’

            Nope it was on TV. It was about the Helen Parrs shape in the Incredibles so it was in 2004 or 2005. Do you understand what I said is about the context of why all of the animated female characters for over thirty years have thic thighs and small busts? What I said was giving you context about the imagery and why it ended up that way. You lack context and as a result don’t know what you are talking about. You think the timeline for this started in 2010’s with the me too movement. You call me either a zoomer or a boomer. You are a millennial and as usual wrong.

                Not a boomer millennial. You don’t understand that what you are saying isn’t anything at all. The movies in the image are prime examples of a shift that occurred before you were capable of comprehending it. Even if you had born yet. You don’t get that for me growing up animated women had larger busts. For example: Heavy metal, Aeon Flux and Who framed Roger Rabbit. Then there was a shift away from that to to larger thighs which is what the image is conveying. Its a basic statement about how kids growing up are influence by what they see. One that I made sure my millennial daughter understood and didn’t try to bend herself in to a unreasonable self image.

                My statement had nothing to do with gamer gate or the me too movement. There had been push back about the over sexualization of animated characters for decades before the movies in the image were made. Things happened before you had matured enough to notice them. Somehow you choose to ignore it since doing so would be admission of an error on your part. That is another error and it is yours not mine.

                You don’t like what I’m saying but you can’t say anything that of any substance against it. You think somehow I’m the one who doesn’t understand but its you that don’t and now you are angry and trying silence me with some weird statement about accountability. I’m not the one who drew the animated characters I just made reference to something that is easily verifiable if you are inclined to do so. Which you are not. After all you wouldn’t want your simple world view to shift.

                Someone in this thread has already posted a link about how women are drawn and why they are drawn that way. I don’t think you ware willing or even capable of really understand the context of the image above and what it means. Its nothing new and for me nothing unrecognized.

                So as you have left me with a curse I leave you with one

                “May everyone you meet be just like you.”

      *Movies…
      …that parents also have to watch. Back In the day watching an animated film was a family event. You wouldn’t just plant a kid in front of a TV and go do your own thing. Thats why old cartoons are fully of innuendos that only adults would get.

        Not just innuendos but themes that are more mature than we would associate with children. Not only for the parents accompanying their kids but good writing makes it possible to teach a young audience about otherwise difficult topics. Kung Fu Panda 2 deals with a whole genocide, for example. The Hunchback of Notre Dame had all that about religious fanatism and the deliberate racial persecution of a certain group of people. Thinking back on it, 101 Dalmatians had a woman chasing puppies to make a coat out of puppies. Innuendos are funny if you look back at them as an adult but that’s also what makes movies timeless and rewatchable even after aging out of the main target group.

            No child should be burdened with the knowledge that hot women exist. It’s developmentally necessary that no one encounter a woman in swimwear until they turn 18. Failure to protect our most vulnerable from the permanent damage of this experience is the cause of all today’s societal woes.

            What messaging do you think a disproportionate body type of a woman solely meant to evoke sexual interest in grown men signals to children, specifically girls? And if we’re going to play the it’s-ok game, where are the sexy men, then? Not handsome, not pretty, but sexy. Do you not see anything wrong with this imbalance even by your own logic?

            But besides all this, for all the pedophile pearl clutching done around here, you seem perfectly fine with turning on 12 year-old children. “It’s fine when it’s a woman with a boy” energy.

              What do you mean “disproportionate” and "solely meant to evoke sexual interest in grown men? People with thick hips exist. And depicting women with (exaggerated) thick hips is several thousands of years old.

              Would you also call the designs of Aurora, Belle and any other disney princess as being designed to “solely […] evoke sexual interest in grown men”? Those characters could also be described as out of the norm.

              And if we’re going to play the it’s-ok game, where are the sexy men, then?

              That’s right. There’s absouletly no oversexualized man in animation. /s

              Do you not see anything wrong with this imbalance even by your own logic?

              What are you even talking about? What do you mean with “my own logic”?

              But besides all this, for all the pedophile pearl clutching done around here

              And what do you mean by that? Are you seriously insinuating that people overreact over fucking Epstein? O.o

              you seem perfectly fine with turning on 12 year-old children.

              These are movies. No one is sexually harrassing children. And children that have no interest/concept of sex don’t notice any sexual innuendo (and these body types aren’t even sexual innuendo).

              And for teenagers developing their sexual inner-workings: these teenagers will get sexually aroused from anything. I’m glad that “unhealthily skinny” isn’t the only body type these kids see. And movies are a safe way of exploring these feelings. Without anybody being harrassed.

              You spread “no sex-ed books for children” energy, homie.

              Edit: Now I found the right words for it: Your urge to shield teenagers from any depiction that’s remotely erotic in nature (very remotely) is downright puritan. And I think that’s weird from someone who’s close to talking pedophile apologia ("pedophile pearl clutching ").
