    The images you show are characters in video games, not expectations of reality.

Thanks to the magic of Photoshop, those "escapist fantasies" become what is professed to be reality.

    Also, skinny women with large breasts are attractive. Large, built, muscled men are attractive.

This hasn't always been the case, nor is it explicitly the case for anyone now. "Beauty" is more likely to be defined from a ratio than anything else. Hence why Kim Kardashian and Hayden Panettiere look nothing alike but are both considered attractive.

    I can/could say the exact same phrase, but copy paste feminism right in there.

I pretty much did.

    Nah, if you knew me on hubsi I imagine you would already have me muted and hushed.

The only people who I have muted and/or hushed are people who are blatantly advertising products. Other than that it is completely vacant. You assume a lot about me as a person, I think.

As I said at the end of my post, I'm at a point where the cost/benefit analysis of time put into comments is just totally futile. I have way too many other things to do with my life. The amount of research to make sure I'm not falling all over myself, plus time writing, fact-checking, is not worth it. For instance, I found out while researching for this comment that people routinely assert that Marilyn Monroe was bigger than she is, though she still would probably be somewhere around a size 6 (though there is one dress she wore in a famous movie that is a Size 2.

I did not need to know this information.
