      I have definitely seen naked women that closely resemble that figuring, so I don’t think it is that exaggerated anymore.

          I actually heard that this was most desirable in the stone age as the plumper women could survive winters and childrearing. So it is a bit like stone age photoshop, just not in the direction we usually expect.

            Yeah for most of human history being fat was seen as a sign of wealth and was considered attractive. It’s only recently that we started seeing skinniness as attractive.

      Besides “AI and facetuned images” from OP, another supernormal stimulus that comes to mind is fat anime tiddies.
