I don't get it. I just watched a TV commercial for Subaru cars featuring half a dozen really really really big wrestlers. They are only wearing big banana hammocks, thong-style, so that their backsides are hanging out. Nothing on top of course.
Now if women were to be featured in an ad on television wearing a thong and bare breasts, with their backsides hanging out ...... well........ look at the huuuuuuuge collective continental conniption that took place when Janet Jackson's nipple popped out by accident. Look at the tsunami of media coverage when Britney displayed her, uh, underpantless self. Massive public commentary.
Yet there's nary a word about these almost-naked enormous Japanese men.
I remember hearing men HOWLING when it was proposed where I live that women be allowed to go about without a top on, the way men are allowed to. Their biggest argument against was that they might be exposed (no pun intended) to women with big ugly floppy breasts.
How is it any more adorable to watch these massively overweight Japanese dudes in their odd little thong thingies?
You know what? I think there are a lot of men who have a monumental fat phobia, and especially a gnarling fear of big fat swinging pendulous breasts on women.
I wonder why, what's at the root of that?
