* \\\'\\\'\\\'BuxomIsBetter proper:\\\'\\\'\\\' The belief that 1) a true woman has to be big-breasted, and 2) the bigger the breasts, the more feminine/womanly and/or sexually attractive you are; can take the form of a buxom girl ridiculing a lesser-endowed peer\\\'s lack of \\\"assets\\\", or guys favoring a shallow woman \\\'\\\'for her bustiness\\\'\\\' while ignoring the kind-hearted ShrinkingViolet with an average-sized chest.
** This covers cases were the character\\\'s buxomness is due to [[AuthorAppeal her designer/creator preferring either big-breasted women or just drawing them]].
** Unfortunately TruthInTelevision in Western society and those that are heavily influenced by it.
* \\\'\\\'\\\'BuxomSells:\\\'\\\'\\\' Owing in part to SexSells, the majority of character artists/designers/writers either believe that making a female/{{hermaphrodite}} character noticeably big-breasted and/or deliberating designing the character and/or her wardrobe to draw MaleGaze to her \\\'\\\'big\\\'\\\' breasts would result in increased popularity, and thereby increased profitability, \\\'\\\'\\\'or\\\'\\\'\\\' they don\\\'t believe so, but are still trying to cash in on the relatively prevalent appeal of already existing buxom female characters by designing their female characters accordingly.
** The likes of [[FatalFury Mai]] [[TheKingOfFighters Shiranui]], [[SoulCalibur Ivy]], [[{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan and Felicia]] would fall under this; one can\\\'t really deny that their character designers aren\\\'t purposefully emphasizing their bustiness.
* \\\'\\\'\\\'WorldOfBuxom:\\\'\\\'\\\' Where \\\'\\\'every\\\'\\\' single known/shown female/{{hermaphrodite}} character - excluding the occasional TokenLoli or {{Pettanko}} - is unquestionably big-breasted, even the nameless extras, [[RealityIsUnrealistic to a degree that is dissonant with reality]].
** {{Godannar}} is a glaring example; most of the non-pilot cast are clearly \\\'\\\'Japanese\\\'\\\' citizens, and yet not one of the girls go below \\\"large\\\" on the [[UsefulNotes/BreastsInAnimeAndManga Sliding Scale of Anime/Manga Breast Size]]. Buxom Japanese women are a \\\'\\\'rarity\\\'\\\', last time I checked.
** Similarly guilty are AngelBlade and DivergenceEve.

BuxomIsBetter (proper) and BuxomSells can and do overlap in the case of some character designers.

I would appreciate any suggestions to improve the above proposed division.
