Why do European and East Asian societies idealize slim women as the beauty standard, whereas African (American diaspora included), Native American, Latino, and Indian societies champion thick/voluptuous women? What are the social, cultural, or biological factors that come to play here?
>>
>>18131074
Exaggerated sexual characteristics are inherently off-putting to more highly-evolved souls and draw the spirit down towards the bodily instincts.

This is why civilised societies made sex taboo and gatekept it behind various rituals and ceremonies (marriage, etc).

In short: Certain peoples/cultures are called upwards and away from the body. Others are more chthonic and are "at home" in the body.
>>
>>18131090
Good post
>>
>>18131074
Well I would suspect that a big part of it is the diets of these places.
East Asia, China, Korea, Japan, they were rather malnourished in comparison to most other peoples. The were short and very small physically.

So it could be that since there just weren't people with thick and voluptuous, that the average person just never got sexually interested in that type of thing.
I mean you can't into stuff you've never seen before.

As for the high society in China, well high societies tend to value thinness and high-maintenance and discipline body types.
Same reason why really skinny women became the standard of beauty for rich whites, too.

Japan and Korea have a massive porn industry for BBWs (I will not be providing examples since this is a SFW board but they're easy to find) and Koreans literally invented the video genre of fat women who get paid to eat copious amounts of food on camera (Mukbang) and they also invented the concept of fried cheese sticks and potato street food

reminder feminists don't hesitate to go "EW" when they see a nerd or a fat guy, then screech and cry "SEXISM" when a man says "I do not find this attractive"

surely people have a right to decide what they find attractive and unattractive, or you could at least stop being hypocritical and tell Stacy to shut the fuck up when she goes "ICK"

>>East Asia.
The Chinese hovered between slender & thick women over the centuries. Famously during the Tang Period for example, Chinese beauty standards had more variety, with the beauty of thick (even downright fat women even) extolled.

In non-pornbrained societies the primacy of the body in mate selection was much less pronounced.

I'm telling you the ancient perspective. Make of it what you will.

Is it beyond you to imagine a world where people lived for more than indulgence of the body? All non-materialist schools of philosophy revolve around this concept.
>>
>>18131074
It's almost entirely a question of historical accident and trends among the higher classes. I can't speak for East Asian beauty standards but the Western-European predilection for extreme thinness is, as often remarked by legions of fat women and people who want to fuck fat women, very new; it has been a standard for a few decades at most, and is to a large extent a product of social engineering. If you go back to pieces of fine and popular art from a few centuries back you'll find the most common body-type assigned to beautiful women is 'soft', though I would struggle to call it fat; overweight BMI at most. While there are objective markers of beauty, these are few and don't have much to do with colors, proportions, they are basically health&youth signifiers. Nearly everything specific humans consider beautiful is socially conditioned.

Little to none in the case of Europeans, it's a "modern" sociocultural phenomenon, see the Ancient Greek beauty standards, or the Renaissance art, Europeans used to prefer women with more meat on their bones.

It's not the same thing though, Europeans like slim women that still look womanly, like pic related.

The abrupt change in western beauty standards makes me me wonder how far you could social engineer something that. Around the world, beauty standards (male and female) can get somewhat strange, so it isn't unthinkable. There even is a theory that these extreme outliers only really got to this point incrementally. A bit like an un-gendered approximation of fisherian runaway.
You would not need to have control of the entire process, just get the ball rolling and let normal dynamics do their thing.
Of course you could also ask the opposite question and wonder at what point a shift in beauty standards/culture becomes too much for society to bear.

The story is apocryphal and Ogedei Khan massacred Jurchens in northern China.

Northern China grows wheat and Han generals like Shi Tianze and Guo Dehai were with Ogedei's army, massacring the Jurchens in Kaifeng.

Also the western half of northern China is mountains and completely unsuitable for pasture.

It's less common in white and East Asian (I've never seen a curvy Asian woman). But that doesn't mean it's undesirable, voluptuous women are frequent in manga and comics.

I don't buy this at all. She looks uncanny not because of anything natural, but because she had fat lipo'd from her midsection and injected into her herpes infected ass.

Her bone structure or anything like that is not really off-putting. There is an uncanny valley effect going on with all this body modification that no one really wants to confront.

This is a recent phenomenon as far as Western society is concerned. Really only a thing since dieting fads started in the 50's and 60's. And its all mostly just capitalism and marketing. Historically, voluptuousness meant wealth and leisure, so it was a sign of status. But with lifestyles getting increasingly sedentary for the growing class of middle class housewives and office workers, and processed food increasingly the norm, it became easier to get fat than to stay slim. Staying slim now often took effort, which especially in America, the Protestant work-ethic based society par excellence, gave it an additional level of prestige. This was then something marketing firms were easily able to exploit, they could play on women's growing unease with their bodies to open up whole new markets around dieting fads and weight loss.
>>
>>18134786
True.
While some aristocratic courts embraced thinness as a major standard of beauty, the common white person liked a more rubenesque figure until really mass media cemented itself in the 20th century.

The change also coincided with the decline of many major diseases like small pox, tb, measles, etc.
When those were incredibly common as recent as the early 20th century, to be particularly thin was a sign you were more likely to die of a protracted illness. Not very attractive.

It's funny how some people who prefer thin women are also like white supremacists and argue liking less thin women is black or degenerate or whatever, when they are literally copying a standard of beauty made principally by athiestic jews in the fashion industry from the 20th century

Thicc loving is not exclusively niggish. I direct you to the German idea of zaftig.

Also, Africans etc don't all go for thicc - the Maasai for example are bred thin and tall. And it is not thiccness per se; the body ratio of tits:waist:hips is the same even accounting for thiccness.

You're a fatass that failed the ratio, hard at work arguing against the predisposition installed by hundred thousand years of natural selection.

Stop eating you fat cunt.

NO YOU FAT CUNT. Korean mukbangers are slim to chubby; the most popular ones are slim or thin.

The obese mukbanger is uniquely AMERICAN, starting with Nikokado. Koreans are big on cosmetic surgery and fashion forward skinniness; there are no Lizzo or Kelly Clarkson or Fat Adelle equivalents in Korean entertainment; people like that are considered to have given up being women!

You gaslighting obeast fuck. You lying triple devil of pride and greed and sloth.

Dragging India Korea Africa into your misrepresentations to justify your gross wonton existence, anything but give up Twinkies and clocking real hours in a nonpussy gym.

Lying fat shit.

These are not in contradiction.
