I notice that Big-Breast Pride and its older counterpart Buxom Is Better have potential to be explicitly differentiated, but as it is Big-Breast Pride looks like a slightly narrower version of Buxom Is Better, confining itself to examples of the positive attitude of the person with the ample bust, rather than expanding to describe the jealousy or admiration displayed by other characters. Too, some examples on Buxom Is Better don't deal with other characters' reactions, and could perhaps be movied to Big-Breast Pride.

These are clean-up issues, not something TRS needs to fix.

  • Big-Breast Pride is one of the set of tropes that were made to cover the different ways a character can feel about having extremely-sized breasts (Small and hates it: A-Cup Angst; Small and likes it: Petite Pride; Large and hates it:D-Cup Distress; Large and proud of it:Big-Breast Pride.) All of these are about the character's attitude, whether any other character in the work feels the same way or not.

  • Buxom Is Better is about the other characters in the work considering the character more attractive because she has large breasts, or the author presenting her in a way that makes it clear they want the audience to consider her attractive becasuse of her breast size.

In brief, Big-Breast Pride is internal to the character; it's what they feel. Buxom Is Better is external to the character; it's the way others see and treat them.

They aren't duplicates.

For the reasons given above, this isn't a TRS issue. Locking
