dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Its amazing how certain groups/publications/etc can 100% maintain course, never changing their core behavior. One day just put a thick girl in there because to the people at this publication they're like "ye she's hot, lotta dudes talkin about thicc girls lately, lets throw her in"

And with this unchanged course, find themselves bouncing between lines in the culture war, suddenly they're "woke" for objectifying women exactly how they objectified them 20 years ago when extremely thin was considered the go-to "sexy".

i'm no connoisseur but she seems bigger than what i thought "thick" was? i could be misunderstanding the objectification categories but i took that cover as being a bit more deliberate on the part of whoever is running the magazine.

and not that anyone cares but that standard wasn't usually to my taste either.

I'm not walking around with tape measures to get a definitive answer on what "thick" means.

I think "thick" can range from thighs touching to bigger than this model. I think we'd all be better off not thinking about it anymore than that tbh. The hyper-classification of body types feels like porn-brain behavior to me.

yeah i just meant i thought they were pushing a boundary rather than reflecting body standards that had already shifted.
