I was going to comment on this as well.

There's a major PC thing against big breasts.

If you're reading a sex bit in a book and the chick has big breasts, it's porno.

if you're reading a sex bit in a book and the chick has "very small breasts, almost like a boy's," that's probably literature of some sort.

I became aware of this rule when reading a William Gibson novel or story, where he specifically noted the chick the hero was screwing had tiny breasts. And I realized, "Ah, yes, tiny breasts equal art."

I'm weary of the seven hundred billion little things that political correctness demands we be outraged by. I'm really not calling the reviewer PC; but this is PC thing, certainly.

Last week it was fast food. This week, high-fructose corn syrup. Now-- big hooters.

At what point is enough enough? When can we just ogle a bit of cartoon-art eye-candy without having to make some PC remark about abundant, or smallish, cup-size?

No offense-- I like big hooters. And guess what-- they exist in the real world. A lot of women have big, gigantic funpuddings. Shall we eternally discriminate against these poor women, our more-mammalian sisters, the last group its safe to denigrate?

I say nay. Nay, I say.

And I also say I'd like to be able to live my life in peace without having to worry about the fucking TIT SIZE on CARTOON CHARACTERS on RPG RULEBOOKS, for crying out loud.

Newsflash: The dudes on these bookcovers don't look like the average guy, either. Because few people want to role-play a narrow-shouldered, bow-legged, beer-bellied undersized hunchback with buck teeth and coke bottle glasses.
