When Do You Think Being "Thick" Went Mainstream?

[bogey_j]

in the instagram era, you gotta have a booty. pancake asses are out stacked bodies are in.


did Kim K bring thickness to the (white) mainstream? was J-Lo the precursor


I mean, even asian chicks are suddenly growing asses outta nowhere

Define mainstream, cause Nelly was selling like a mufukka...as well as Ludacris and Outkast, and they def had thick chicks in they music videos

Black men have always liked thicker women, this ain't a gimmick for us......it's a lifestyle/our culture

Basically when white people / white media deemed it socially acceptable.

Thick has always been on the fringe of the mainstream since at least the late 1990s. What really ushered it in was the advent of the modern video vixen and the renaissance of ebony porn. There was a brief period when thickness fell out of favor for more "athletic" builds but the IG thot era resuscitated the dead corpse and here we are today with a bunch of empty, mass produced shells.

Yep the body acceptance movement in which hoes said all we need to do to be attractive is get a waist trainer and drink some "organic detox tea"

I like thick girls just as much as the next man probably even more based on my saved sites

But with simps and thirsty dudes it's just too easy to be a female now a days you can get money with it even seeing the dude. Any female who is broke is just lazy

Y'all don't remember when 'Tootie' got big on 'Facts of Life'.

Nah that's just booty....But they aren't really thick...

When you saw this stallion tho

Already knew we was entering a new level

Mainstream would have to be J-Lo

I don't remember any woman with a butt getting props in the white community before that.

In the black community, a totally different story. It's always been in favor, although from a media/entertainment perspective I don't know of too many women we would call thick being popular in the old days.

Janet (circa 1986) is the first example of a thick female celebrity I can think of. Chime in if you can come up with an example before then.

When the porn nikkas started to go to Brazil to get actresses. Their lighter complexion with big asses made it easier for cacs to sexualize it.
