I don't love the way it has to tear down the other characters in order to prop up the one. Surely the message could have been gotten across in a more wholesome way?

Based on the comments in this thread, it seems like the show is making the other women look unappealing on purpose.
Didn't know about Bridgerton, googled, no shade, but category 5 titty event was grossly overselling it, cat 3 tops
Who are these people?
Very popular Netflix show. Other than that, the only thing I know about it is that the paladin in the D&D movie is in it.
I'd bet dollars to donuts this person is not even sexually attracted to women.
Why? Because they have different standards of what they find attractive?
Different strokes for different folks friend
No, because they reduce a woman's physical attractiveness to "big booba and I see some o' dem!" That line of thinking is only ever heard from people who aren't themselves attracted to women. Trust.
You might be overgeneralizing
Overgeneralizing what? This post is clearly from the perspective of someone not attracted to women. Another dead giveaway is the fact that they have to denigrate other women to justify this woman's attractiveness. The writing gives it all away quite clearly.
You are clearly mistaken. When the cat 5 titties started heaving they caught your attention, by design. Akin to Frank Lloyd Wright-esque compression and release, the show up to now was staffed by thin and tall women and her breasts were bound (compression) and then they slammed her into lower cut dresses that strained to hold them in (release). Booba is a major plot point, and boy do they heave. Praise shondaland
Lol, I suppose I'll have to take your impassioned explanation of the finer details at face value as I haven't seen the show, and I don't know who any of these people are.
It's possible to find one woman's body attactive and another's repulsive.
Yes, and? The writer brought up other women unprompted. Frankly, the whole post reflects rather poorly on the writer more than any of these supposed people they are railing against.
You seem to be saying no one attracted to women would ever denigrate them? Have you seen straight men before?
I didn't say that. I said they needed to denigrate other women to justify this woman's attractiveness. I didn't say there aren't straight men who aren't assholes about women.
So guys who say stuff like "I prefer natural looking girls, not ones with caked on makeup" or "I'd only date a virgin. I don't want any roast beef" or "no fatties, I only like thin girls" are what? All secretly gay or ace?
ETA: my point is, people do comparisons all the time when talking about how one person is more attractive than another or than most other people (some more mean spirited than others). It often isn't right or cool, but being mean doesn't mean you're not attracted to the person you're contrasting.
I can confirm this is true. I'm not into women and I love big boobs.
Didn't know anything about this, looked into it, yeah those tig ol'bitties look like they want to escape pretty bad.
Thank you for providing the link to the Tumblr post BTW
:)
then you hear her Irish accent and it’s over
I always struggle with believing thin people as a convincing love interest. I understand that's what most people like but I still can't relate to it.
EDIT: looked up some pictures, she's big enough to be a halfway convincing love interest
