Petite Pride: Difference between revisions

{{examples}}

* Konata from ''[[Lucky Star]]'', though she will only talk about it if someone else broaches the topic. ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}hxDVdJ4tumk Video of the Lucky Star quote])

{{quote|'''Konata:''' A flat chest is a status symbol! Extremely rare and valuable!

* Nagi from ''[[Kannagi]]'' seems to carry this attitude, especially during the [[Beach Episode]]... only to be trumped by the appearance of a new [[Token Loli]].

 

* As stated in the infamous ''[[Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki]]'' [[Lemon]] fic, ''Aikan Muyo'':

* Sister Marie, one of the superheroines in [[The Teraverse]]. Despite being a superheroine, her physique has been repeatedly compared to Audrey Hepburn's (except that she's much taller). She has to round ''up'' to a B cup, and barely has enough cleavage to hide a cross necklace down her top. Considering that she's asexual ''and'' a Catholic nun, she sees the lack of endowment as a positive, because it discourages people from sexualizing her image.

 

* The perfect rationale for why many women prefer to have smaller boobs came in ''[[Some Like It Hot]]''. Sugar remarked that she admired "Daphne"'s flat-chested appearance: "Clothes hang better on you."

 

* ''[[Veronica Mars]]'': The titular character.

 

* [[Shakira]] [[Lampshade Hanging|pokes fun at this]] —

{{quote|''Objection'': "Next to her cheap silicon I look minimal / That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible / But you gotta know small things also count"}}

:* And (the same line meaning the same thing) in the Spanish version of the song (''Suerte''): "Suerte que mis pechos sean pequeños / Y no los confundas con montañas"

* Also [[Pink]] in ''Stupid Girls''.

 

== [[Recorded and Stand Up Comedy]] ==

** "Skinny is in, I've got that covered. But now you have to have muscle tone too! I'm already hungry and tired; now I gotta go work out?!"

 

* Rita in ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]'' comments that she's glad she has a flat chest, because boobs the size of [[Gag Boobs|Judith's]] would bounce around too much and make it difficult for her to concentrate.

* [[Cute Bruiser|Suika Ibuki]] from ''[[Touhou]]''. In fact, there's an entire song titled ''Tsurupettan'', complete with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfUe2eckPFQ a video] (warning: very addictive!), which is essentially a high-spirited hymn to [[pettanko]]s all around the world. In case you are interested in the origins of the song and video, refer to [https://web.archive.org/web/20110503222327/http://bluemist.animeblogger.net/archives/animeme-tsurupettan/ this post].

 

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* ''[[Twice Blessed]]'' has Pella, who [https://web.archive.org/web/20130617231927/http://www.twiceblessedcomic.com/?webcomic_post=25 definitely] can work the petite look.

* Played for laughs in ''[[Misfile]]'' when resident [[Pettanko]] Missi immediately switches from [[A-Cup Angst]] to Petite Pride because Ash accidently gave her the impression that she prefers small-breasted women. Missi instantly goes from angsting over her flat chest (her [[Imagine Spot]] is the page image for [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!]]) to trying to capitalize on it.

* Mistress of ''[[Oglaf]]'' is very flat-chested but given the kind of clothes she wears, it's probably safe to say she's not self-conscious about it.

 

* The bulk of supermodels through [[The Sixties]] and [[The Nineties]]. The perceived attractiveness of this is apparently a [[Cyclic Trope]]. Like Twiggy, Milla Jovovich (until her pregnancy), or Kate Moss.

** Actually, Twiggy was one of the only supermodels of her period to have a boyish figure. Prior to her modelling career (and indeed afterwards, when the 'Perfect Size 6' occurred in the 70s and 80s), models were normally voluptuous. A boyish, flat-chested physique didn't become truly in vogue until the 'heroin chic' look of the 90s.
