I swear it bothers me so much the fixation on being as tiny as possible these days. I saw a video of a girl on TikTok with a perfectly normal looking body saying she needed a breast reduction because her boobs were “too big and ruined her outfits.” The girl was a double d. I have boobs about that size and never once have I felt like my boobs were ugly, enormous, or ruined an outfit. Why are clothing designers and men so insistent on making women feel bad for having body types that a lot of women have that are perfectly normal? Why is there such an emphasis now on having a super tiny waist and small boobs? Not every woman is built that way and it's ridiculous how we're being made to feel bad about it.

They're easy to manipulate, kidnap, harm and dominate. I'm 5ft11 with a wide and solid build and I struggled with feeling inadequate and big for long before I realized that this makes me special and also is an advantage in this predatory world.
Fatphobia (which started as an extension of racism) and misogyny. It would be naive of me to state men don't also face fatphobia, because they do. But I think the added pressure women have around it is due to misogyny. Society has decided being fat is bad.
Men want women to be small and weak. Notice the discomfort they feel when they see assertive and/or muscular women. Many of them see this as a threat. Plus pedophilia.
I've always felt like it was the most literal manifestation of how men don't want women to take up space in any meaningful way. If we are big enough to take up physical space it's only so that we can titillate them sexually.

There's not actually a difference, because “I have a visceral hatred of people who buy funko pops” is an accelerationist-collapse ideologically motivated political talking point coined and promoted by White Identity Extremists and Anti-Government / Anti-Authority Violent Extremists seeking to recruit to their movement and further motivate violent extremism targeting people who participate in specific consumer cultures which they can label as “degenerate” in order to push a “return to tradition” völkisch political philosophy and/or recruit to Evolaist reactionary traditions.
One is cryptic / covert, and the other is explict / overt. Both promote hatred based on identity or vulnerability and both promote extremism. One explicitly promotes violence and the other leaves the question of the solution to the targeted culture open in order to evade social consequences.
