I never see anyone discuss this, even amidst all the constant culture wars on /co/, so let's try to have a reasonable discussion about this.

I don't care about lesbians in cartoons and whatnot, but one thing that keeps bugging me is how, in the animation released in the last decade, the female characters are often not allowed to have boobs. There are a few exceptions, but for the most part, it's all either sticks or shortstacks, with flat or really small chests.

Now I'm an ass person more than a boobs person, but this still feels kinda wrong to me. It's fine if there are SOME flat characters, but when it's being done so much it starts to feel like deliberate censorship.

I've been thinking about potential reasons for this and right now I think it has to be a mix of these three factors:
>1) female writers and artists in Hollywood are insecure about their boob size and try to make it a non-factor in their work, creating a perfect fictional world where they will never be judged for having small boobs
>2) it's part of the effort to dilute gender barriers in order to homogenize products as much as possible; if you pretend boobs don't exist then you can focus on sexualizing asses on both males and females and erase gender differences; depending on how schizo you want to get this can feed into the trans movement or trying to turn all the males gay or whatever but I think it's primarily about trying to slowly erase the concept of a gendered target demographic
>3) good ol' American puritanism, this is readily accepted in part because many out-of-touch business people in the industry still think kids' media should be sanitized as much as possible because that's how it was 50 years ago when they were kids

Do you anons think I'm onto something? Do you have any explanations of your own for this?

Kikes are trying to normalize attraction to people with flat chests, aiding in the push for both homosexuality and pedophilia, along with stigmatizing natural heterosexual attraction ("denormalization" or "abnormalization" of therein).

This isn't a new thing at all OP. It's why the misnomer of "pixar mom" exists. Even though you'll find bigger tits back then(not by much though), animators were still absolutely more awkward about drawing bigger boobs but were fine with drawing big asses and wide hips when they wanted to indicate a woman was mature and developed. Because boobs are seen as crossing the line and cartoons are viewed as being for kids

This always seemed crazy to me because black women seem to default at overweight, and they have absolutely giant knockers even when they aren't very attractive. You'd think they would be trying to represent black women in politically conscious media.

Well it had already been said here, but I agree that it is likely because boobs are automatically seen as an oversexualization, whereas asses not to much, and, since cartoons are usually either directed towards a younger audience OR they want to pass the image of being deep/serious, OR just want to appeal to an audience that might feel offended, they just opt to nerf the boobas.

I don't know if this is just an american thing, or if it applies to the rest of the west, though.

>but muh cartoons
There are a thousand things to reasonably reminisce about, pertaining to the past. Sex/sexuality in cartoons isn't one of them. You live in an era where a thousand different Western artists make quite the glut of high-grade smut. The future is LLMs that steal from those artists to make whatever non-Euclidean fapbait your diseased brain can conjure. If that's your worry, go jack off and shut the fuck up about what "used to be". You are neither mentally open nor intellectually equipped to handle the subjects that led to "puritanism" in PG cartoons, and if we were to talk about it leftyfags would scream "REEEEEEEE BACK 2 /pol/!". Make a better thread next time, shithead.

Anglos are weird, they get super bent out of shape over cartoons but are a-okay with pop stars dressing like strippers and little girls imitating whores on TikTok.

It's actually insane and doesn't get openly talked about enough. Not only women characters showing any skin is forbidden now, but basic human biology seems to have been banned as well. Everyone looks like a boy, everything is flat, no curves whatsoever, everyone must be as androgynous as possible. It's insane how much censorship and prudeness there is. Christian Inquisition tier. Of course, unless it's about shoehorning faggots and troons into cartoons. Then it's fine, somehow. Also, fuck gen alpha faggot trannies for endorsing these things. This generation is worse than 2010's SJWs. They are that, but on steroids.

I think it's a mixture of lack of sexuality, and trying to get children used to the way trannies look.

Many people who design these characters are either straight women, gay males, or liberal males who are taught that sexualizing women is bad. Back then most of the people designing characters were straight males.

There are tons of trannies in the animation industry, spreading their agenda through childrens cartoons (and even video games and television).
I remember seeing an article about the last of us part 2, and how they tried to make the females more androgynous, including smaller breasts (notably the face and body reference for Dina has large breasts, and they made them much smaller for her in game model) or none at all (abby, who straight up has no breast tissue, they just referenced male chests for her model) looking to be friendly to trannies. Basically male trannies either have flat chests due to being male, or if they are on hormones grow very small "breasts", never big ones, due to male bodies not having breast tissue like female ones. And it also explains why female characters are not as curvy anymore. Estrogen will give males fat in the hips and butt area, but not much. Unlike females, who usually have a lot of fat in those areas.

What you described is the lie. The truth is when a woman sees another woman with larger breasts she feels threatened. It's irrational so it doesn't matter if the other woman is in person on tv, or a cartoon. The boobs make her mad.
Now consider half of all women have below average breasts. Now also consider how women with medium and larger breasts are constsntly adulated with praise from.men. small breastsed women see this and it makes them bitter. It's a recipe for any woman in any organization to get a creative veto. A woman could be an assistant handing an animator coffee see a curve representing the underside of a boob and cry sexual harassment, and get shit done.
In reality it's not necessary. There's a woman installed.into a position of creative control as a rule, and she knows her job is to be a feminist. Which only makes her irrational impulses worse.
That's why we have grown women with flat(flat like a man's) chests in animation.

So are medium and small titties. As much as women are threatened by larger breasts, smaller breasts make them feel superior.

Also, and thus is a big part of it. Most women in the professions take HRT via their birth control pills. It changes their vision of attractiveness. They like see more masculine women and more feminine because of it.

Ok
Try this
Open your eyes and look.
The female characters are being masculinized. The studios are putting out psa about how heckin great the global homosexual agenda is. In california you're required by law to hire women into management including the board.
It's the epicenter of the trans agenda, fem ism, and anti-traditionalism.
These are facts they brag about.
