Needs a clearer definition : World Of Buxom

What are we considering large though?

Most Common Super Power levels, I guess.

How many character's have to be in the work? because a percentage or a ratios not gonna work when a work only has 5 or 6 characters.

That's typically realistically large (as in normal people have chests that big), just atypical for body shape. This trope seems to be about tits that are unrealistically large (as in larger than normal people have).

Well, the description says that the characters are "unquestionably big-breasted". I just interpreted that as just regular busty. This page seems to be dealing with cases where a disproportional large amount of character's in a work have large breasts.

Again, to me this is no more tropable than an abnormally large number of characters in a work having long hair, or wearing trenchcoats.

The trenchcoats is definitely a thing. This strikes me mostly as a mixture of a drawing style and Author Appeal. Mostly so there's a place we can scrape all of the "huge tits" sections off of Author Appeal.

Seriously where is this drawing style claim comming from. Drawing characters with big breasts is not breaking into any distinguishable style.

"Large breasts which are unrealistically (semi)spherical in shape and do not sag under their own weight like real-life large breasts do" sounds like a specific art-style trait to me, one that is quite common for animated large-breasted body types in my experience, especially in Japanese animated and drawn media.

Which is completely different from this page, which is just about a lot characters having large breasts.

Which I admit to be the result of forgetting that the aforementioned breast-type holds true for all of the typical examples of the trope that I had in mind when I came up with World of Buxom (Godannar, Divergence Eve, Eiken, H-games like Oppai Baka), and which should be the basis for defining (typical) Big Breast Fanservice.

I can't see any objective definition in the thread so far. I don't see how an arbitrary percentage cutoff is helping things, and you'll never get all fans to agree on the exact cup size of characters. I think this either needs Word of God or YMMV.

I think it needs the Cut List... /grumble.

Word of God wouldn't work, but Ymmv is certainly a possibility.

Also, Isn't it a little early to have a PA crowner up? I didn't think we were to that point in the discussion yet.

I don't see why people are disputing the tropability. Yes, an individual having large breasts is just People Sit On Chairs. So is someone having really poor aim with a gun, but when almost everyone in a story has poor aim with a gun, we get the trope A-Team Firing. Why can't the same process apply here?

And I wouldn't say World of Buxom is a drawing style, but it is an aesthetic style.

Somebody really messed up on the description of A-Team Firing because it's not clear whether or it's the it's just the good guys have poor aims, and whether or not the characters are trying to kill their enemies.

Either way that difference between A-Team Firing and this trope is that A-Team Firing has ramifications for the plot. It means that good guys (I think) do not kill anyone. While all this page is doing is pointing out facts. It's literally as useless as me pointing out everyone in a show has long hair.

The problem with this trope is where do you stop? A world where everyone shares a common body trait is hardly going to be restricted to large breasts. World of Pettanko? World of Pokies? World of Skinny? World of long legs? World of Beards? World of Wonky Noses? I nominate Last Of The Summer Wine as World Of Aprons.

I suppose people have the right to YKTTW any of those. I doubt any will be found to be tropable. (I'd have also doubted that World of Buxom would be.)

and : If all of these are just "specific proportional relationship is seen in many characters of a work", then there's no need for specific tropes. We could have one page for "cast has a lot of X for some reason" (where X can be Top-Heavy Guy, Hartman Hips, big boobs, etc.) with an "minimum 80% [of appropriate gender if applicable]" disclaimer. Could be the neck-down equivalent of Only Six Faces.

If three or more works really do give most of their cast those physical traits, I'd say yes, they're tropable.

Tropes apply to more than just plot or characterization; if you're using a visual medium, they also apply to how the story looks.

Hm, Only Six Bodies comes to mind. Justice League using it comes to mind.

I just thought of a better example to compare this trope to: Unlimited Wardrobe.

Now, if you see a character wearing a certain outfit in one episode, then wearing a different outfit in another, that's normal and to be expected. Same goes for there being a large breasted woman in a story's cast. Neither of these are tropes.

However, if a character wears a different outfit every episode with no repeats, that's rather out of the ordinary and something the attentive viewer will notice. Same goes for (almost) every woman in a series having large breasts. These are tropes.

I would be in favour of Only Six Bodies.

Actually, the first would be Limited Wardrobe.

I think it might be tropeable if the angle is that almost no female past a certain age (whether adolescence or adulthood) has small breasts or is flat chested.

And yes, that would mean a lot of Resident Evil games count, as to the best of my knowledge, just two women (who aren't enemies) aren't buxom in those games, and they are both under 18.

Not including the zombies aren't there like 2 females, at most, in a lot of Resident Evil?
