I'm curious about this. I personally highly dislike it and think it looks disproportionate, but that may be just me

Maybe I'm getting the wrong impression from it, but the culture around seems to be centered on women looking appealing to men while claiming to be progressive because the beauty ideal is slightly (and I mean slightly) heavier than normal? So much emphasis seems to be put on being "curvy" and "sexy" but not fat in the slightest, while yet also claiming to be some kind of new feminist movement by hypersexualizing the bodies of women who have larger curves than normal, but that's it. It really just grosses me out (and since I can be honest here, I don't like how it looks either. To each their own though.)

Agreed. It puts just as much hypersensitivity around the female body as always, and is even MORE unachievable than being thin, as most of those people achieved their bodies with surgery.

I don't like it, sadly I have curves and somewhat meet the standard but it's honestly super sexualized and unachievable unless you get plastic surgery

“Thicc” meaning curves at the right places. Unfortunately genetics play a big part of that and most people have to build muscle to create shape or use plastic surgery which both aren’t realistic. Feeling a need to work out only to get a big booty isn’t healthy just like dieting to be thin. People get insecure because they are flat chested or have a flat bum and they feel that they aren’t attractive for the opposite sex. It’s just messed up man

I will admit that its pretty enticing. When i finally lose all my weight I’m going to have to go under the knife anyways for skin removal surgery. So like Ill prolly end up doing something to seem even curvier then i naturally am

idk why society has to go to extremes when it comes to body image. i personally don't think super-skinny/bonespo should be the "body goal" for society as a whole, but i also do not think that "thicc" or overweight should be the goal either.

I mean, it's not ugly, but it's not something I'd want for myself. Also, it's highly unrealistic as you have to be either genetically blessed or financially blessed. People can bitch about skinny bodies being unattainable all they want - they aren't. It's being curvy that's unattainable because not everyone's fat can go to their boobs, hips, and butt while leaving their waists and thighs alone.

I mean. . . I like that I'm actually able to look thin/small during the current mainstream beauty standards. If 1990s skinny was still in vogue, there's no way I would survive (whether socially or literally lmfao).
It isn't something I aim for personally and it can look highly unrealistic in extreme cases, but women who naturally have that kind of weight distribution are gorgeous so I can see why it became fashionable.

I'm not for it and completely agree that it looks disproportionate.

At least the thin trend was naturally attainable, body standards are becoming more and more out of this world with the amount of surgery and photo editing that these idols or celebrities rely on for their "thicc" look. I'm looking at you Kim K lol
I like that in today's climate I stand out as thin/small even when I'm closer to a healthy weight. I respect those who work out to have as hourglass of a shape as possible, but please don't tell me you "worked" for your ass when you're over 200 lbs.

Yeah exactly, I can fully understand if it was all muscle and they put the work in to look that way, but you can’t say you worked for it when it’s all fat.

I dunno, I like that "thicc" is on-trend, it makes it easier to distinguish yourself when you're underweight/skinny.
I kinda get irritated when they portray it as "liberation" for women or something lmao like it's just another body standard for women.

I found this quote recently "how dare she not forfeit her fetish for a fading frame, to be my performance piece” I guess that's how I feel about this thicc trend. It's not that I have any problem with women choosing to pursue it as their preference body type but it feels more like then new "men like a little something to grab onto".
It seems to be just another thing women are expected to be whether or not they can/want to. More so seeing that most examples of "Thicc" are still pretty dang thin just not "heroin chic" thin, as others have already mentioned. Not to mention how many "thicc" women are just placing cameras in angles that force perspective giving the illusion of a large round ass with a cinched waist out of almost nothing. >>𝑻𝑳𝑫𝑹:𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒄 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍𝒔 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒅𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒛𝒆-𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒚 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑴𝒀 𝒃𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒔 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒅<<

I haven’t found it empowering at all. It makes me feel more sexualized than before, and it makes it nearly impossible to discuss not wanting to be curvy. I’m pear shaped, so people assume I should be grateful for the trend but it just feels gross and exploitative.
