About

"Breast Envy" is a term commonly meant to describe a woman's jealousy towards another about her breast size. In various forms of media, such as films, comics, cartoons, fan arts, manga, anime, as well as in meme culture, breast envy is often portrayed as a woman being breastmogged by another one, with the first staring, glaring, or making an unpleasant expression towards the latter. The phenomenon was arguably documented as early as 1957 and became increasingly popular in meme culture throughout the 2000s.

Origin

The earliest and most popular example of "breast envy" was caught in photography on April 12th, 1957, showcasing Italian actress Sophia Loren glancing at Jayne Mansfield's breasts with a side eye and a displeased look on her face (shown, below). The photograph was distributed world-wide and became an international sensation.[1] In 2014, Loren stated that she was indeed looking at Mansfield's breasts, describing it as she was "afraid that they would blow and spill over the table".[2]



Notable Parodies

Photos replicating or parodying the original shot with Loren and Mansfield featured various other models or actresses decades later. In 1992, Anna Nicole Smith and Sky Nellor replicated the photograph (shown below, left).[3] Another one featured German model Heidi Klum, taken in 2002 (shown below, right).[4]

In February 2016, American actresses Julie Bowen and Sofia Vergara referenced it in the TV show Modern Family (shown below, left).[5] In 2021, the photo was recreated once again by Sydney Sweeney and Maude Apatow (shown below, right).[6]

So you now know, kiddies.
If somebody complains about the breast size of a fictional character it's either some chick who feels mogged or a simp who thinks he can get laid by agreeing with such a delusional point of view.
Rarely it's actually a justified complain, YMMV.

Cue the trite back pain comments and the small-bust fans acting they are morally superior liking them small.

The back pain comments are often just stating the obvious, with those making them thinking they are owning the chuds by dropping a heckin' based truth bomb™. Meanwhile, the flat fans and body-positive activists end up denigrating and invalidating busty women with their grandstanding. Sometimes, one needs to learn to relax and admire the boobs.
