- Implied:
- Flat-chested Tasmin doesn't directly comment on her breasts either way, but her daring fashion sense flatters her figure and makes it clear she's perfectly comfortable in her body.
- Tasmin seems discomfort when she wears a Fake Boobs, but doesn't outright complain about it.
- Deconstructed:
- Tasmin might see small breasts as beautiful, but the rest of the world does not. She is mocked relentlessly by her peers for being proud of her flat chest since everybody else likes bigger breasts and doesn't see the reason why she wouldn't want them, they also gaslight her to hate herself. As a result, Tasmin loses her self-confidence and delves into A-Cup Angst.
- Since Tasmin obsessively defends her ideology by claiming her flat chest is safer, cuter, and more convenient than larger ones, she starts to fall into Not Like Other Girls thought and she assumes that real women don't have boobs as well as other female Tertiary Sexual Characteristics. She thinks all Big-Breast Pride must be slutty Brainless Beauty, she bullies D-Cup Distress girl as either a weakness faker or a pathetic loser, and she also calls out A-Cup Angst girl who undergoes a breast implant, viewing her as a Category Traitor and claiming that this action makes her become a Plastic Bitch.

- Played for Laughs: Tasmin wears a shirt that says "Itty Bitty Titty Committee" on it. It's the only shirt she's ever seen wearing.
- Played for Drama:
- Tasmin is an intersex or Transgender girl who can't undergo a breast implant and doesn't really relate with big breasts, but once she got at least small boobs via either hormonal therapy or Gender Bending Applied Phlebotinum, she is extremely happy with it, and she fears that her little boobs will go and turn back at her dysphoric body again.
- Tasmin tricks her A-Cup Angst friend to thinks that the angsty feeling is actually D-Cup Distress, and tell her to remove her breasts instead of seeking bigger size ones. Once her friend reaches the Despair Event Horizon and commits suicide from it, Tasmin is too oblivious of why her friend kills herself.
- Played for Horror:
- Tasmin lives in a dark patriarchal Dystopia where women are expected to cater to the Male Gaze by any means possible, and are put into comas for genetic testing if they don't agree to meet these demands. Tasmin being proud of her flat chest and unwilling to get breast implants upsets the status quo, as well as triggers the men around her who think women only exist to be eye candy for them, and can't possibly conceive of a woman who doesn't center herself around what they want to see. As a result, she is at high risk for being put in a coma herself, and if she does, then she may only come out once she looks "perfect".
- Same with the "Played for Drama" above, but Tasmin removes her friend's breasts by herself, even she barely has surgical skills, and when her friend dies from severe surgery wounds, Tasmin praises of how beautiful her friend currently is.
Yeah, I have small breasts, and I don't mind at all!
