Big boobs is outside the norm, and this being a world of fantasy, they would be crazy not to let ppl experience the giant boobs they don't get to see in real life.

    Course they could just come to America, but thats a lot more expensive lol
    Wow just wow lol what a load of BS in this post.

    Oh really now??

    What if I told you that information came from

    1) My Japanese teacher, who is from Japan btw.

    2) My Japanese friend, who sadly had to go back to Japan

    3) Conversations with the Japanese foreign exchange students

    Of course they were probably generalizing, like we generalize about our own culture, but that doesn't make it BS. Obviously it can't apply to everyone in a culture, but you can apply things like that to a culture generally. Just look at a culture's media to get a feel for things.

    Blonde hair/blue eyes is rare in Japan and is considered really attractive. Ask any woman who's gone there, Japanese women find it beautiful. Skin color is the same deal. My Japanese teacher said that in general, fairer skin is considered more attractive. Of course this is in Japan, we're not talking about Japanese Americans.

    All in all its not BS~ its straight from the source itself. I spend a lot of time learning about Japanese culture from my friends who come from there, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't call BS on everything that didn't agree with you.


    EDIT: Look at anime/manga/models/tv and tell me that you don't see

    1) fair skin

    2) bigger boobs than average

    Media reflects the social/cultural ideas of any given society.

    Oh yeah of course!! But thats cuz Western cultures, especially the U.S.A. have a "bigger is better" attitude. Thats why we have American Muscle cars, Giant skyscrapers, an average cup size of D (thanks to plastic surgery), the atomic bomb, big guns, etc etc. Western culture loves big things.

    Different cultures like big boobs, but for vastly different reasons lol.
