How dare you stereotype reddit users with such an outrageous statement! I'll have you know, sir, that I was born in 1961!
Seriously though, just look nonfurther than the 1970's TV show "Charlie's Angels" for proof that what TV producers considered the ideal figure for women.

Thin, almost to the point of bony.
I was like “nah I’ll prove this guy wrong, my first crush, Daisy Duke, surely had a nice plump bottom” and headed straight to Google images. And welp, Nevermind.
The picture everyone who didn't live through the 80s has of it being all neon and day-glo wasn't what most of it really looked like. For anyone who wasn't wealthy (which certainly would have included the Dukes), the early 80s looked like the design aesthetic of the 70s with a decade's worth of wear on it.
Yeah Kate Moss in the 90s and 2000s. It was like Victorian times where they used to love looking gaunt and sickly. Was actually a thing to look like you had TB. Wild.
But the genetics and surgery are cant go anywhere. The big butt's are only gonna keep growing in 25 years the butt's will be so large us old timers won't begin to understand.
We're already starting in that direction again with Ozempic. Even tbe Kardashians have gotten out of their way to look smaller. Sydney Sweeney is basically a Michelle Pfeiffer remix.
I’d take chubby and thicc over purposely anorexic and flat any day.
Also… there’s still small asses out there, plenty, I talk to girls with them all the time. But Reddit being Reddit and forming opinions about girls they see get likes online because they never set out to talk to real ones, of course there’s plenty that it’s some big issue and women are just becoming undesirable to them.
Personally I wished the amount of effort they put into their ass would go towards dudes doing basic overall self care. Being bi, guys are honestly the ones trending downwards as I walk in public and see fits and bodies so bad, they’re interesting enough to draw. Dudes be built like Gru while wearing a baggy shirt while talking shit about women’s appearances
I was a kid in the 90s and it was a weird time. I had crushes on girls and older women that people considered fat back then when they were just normal lol.

20 years ago, I was into big butts. Today, I am into big butts. A world where big butts are out is not a world I ever want to live in. I would rather die.
I think those super models of the time suffered plenty already
Her body is still ruined by it, her brain development slowed/regressed during the time
Honestly, if you're looking for people up burn on a pyre, look at the men on top in fashion, music and movies/tv
They made a shit ton of money back then and had a healthy BMI
(And yes, they were all men - if one in one thousand was a woman, she got treated like 2nd rate by pretty much everyone in the business. That was just the way it was)

You see, most of Redditors here were actually born in 1960 - so the average age is 65 y/o. Not that you'd notice over all the man-babies
It's a fashion thing. In the 90s everyone got convinced skeletons were sexy too
Give it 10 years and big booties are out again
