It's kind of scary to think back on old porn from the 60's and 70's were the people were just like average then you get to the 80's, the time of hypercapitalism, and suddenly everyone's all plastic.
The porn fairy of the woods used to leave out magazines for boob men and the implants some of those women had were ludicrous. Not to mention every guy was roided out.
Glad there's been a push in society to be accepting again of people and their body types. Even if porn today still falls into the same tropes of the 80's and 90's.
I don't mean to come off as disrespectful towards trans comrades, I'm just commenting on how fucked up it was at the time. If you think I'm being transphobic I'll delete the thread.
I don't think it's transphobic at all, but it does make me feel a little bad about the top surgery I'm going to be getting here in the next few months. I wasn't aware people weren't exactly welcoming of implants.
No worries. I don't really have the vocab to express what I'm thinking which is "it's fucked up porn producers wanted women to do that to their bodies to sell products". I guess is more in the vein what I was trying to say.
It's about how beauty standards in porn tend to err towards ridiculous over time and how it hurts sex worker's bodies and viewers self perceptions, not how plastic surgery is inherently bad. Plastic surgery is not bad and is in fact cool as hell.
