>its quite obvious that you are well endowed and using it to your advantage Yes, I play the cards I've been dealt. >by wearing revealing clothing. No, the clothing and gender expression predates YouTube and is for other reasons, is usually more conservative when I'm filming for YouTube, and is for myself. I've never worn anything for my audience. >Can we acknowledge that some probably significant proportion of your channel views are at least initially due to your physique Yes, I’ve come to take pride in it "came for the tits, stayed for the tech". If I happen to look the way I do for reasons other than marketing, being able to encourage technical proficiency in a demographic that was not looking to learn anything is about as good an outcome as I could hope for. >and the way you happily show it off? Sort of. I look the way I do for myself, and I don't object to any one else's polite enjoyment of that. As a gay woman I've gone from conflicted to entertained and accepting of it- as might any straight man who found themselves on the receiving end of the support of a large number of gay men, just for being himself and looking how he likes to look. But like our hypothetical straight creator- benefiting from something, it not the same as catering to it.

  >That statement seems incongruent with getting breast implants/plastic surgery... Yes, it does seem that way. That's on me until I'm willing to offer a more complete explanation.

    We all play the cards we're dealt, but it can't hurt to try for some extra luck.

    I'm not 100% sure on this, but when I visited China (and my brother has said similar with Taiwan), the concept of old/existing was blurry - as an example a temple that has been completely reconstructed and doesn't include any of the original material, is still 2000 years old. I think Terry Pratchett has a similar passage in The Fifth Elephant - this axe, over time may need a replacement head, or the handle may need some work, but it will always be the same axe that my father gave to me [paraphrased]. I guess, applied here, it's a similar thing to knowing you are male in a female body for instance. Morphology of the avatar in your head can be different to your external appearance, ie. you always had large boobs?

      >>>Morphology of the avatar in your head can be different to your external appearance, ie. you always had large boobs? I wonder when the Overton window shifted and we began to accommodate insanity. I liked Dave Chapelle's take on this issue in "Sticks & Stones"[1]: if he walked around behaving as if he was ethnically and culturally Han Chinese, nobody sane anywhere in the world would take him seriously. Imagine the response if he applied for PRC Citizenship on the basis of the "morphology of the avatar in his head". It's totally okay to have A Cups. It's insane to assert "well in my head I thought I had D Cups, so just agree with me and treat me as such." [1] https://youtu.be/jhJDAI7XaAA https://youtu.be/jhJDAI7XaAA

        I would agree that it would be odd to assert that people treat you like something you physically aren't, but you're missing the point which is the way you view yourself, not the way other people view you. You are free to have whatever self image you like. >>I've always imagined myself with large boobs, and look, I now have them to fit my self-image, so I consider them part of myself. That's not asking anything of anyone else, and yes it's totally OK to be whatever shape you like (I'd prefer to be healthy myself) - Naomi's girlfriend seems to prefer not to be hyper-feminine and that's fine too.

  Having the opportunity to get implant surgery and deciding to pursue it is still playing your hand. The same way that being born into a scenario having access to computers and deciding to use them is. Or using makeup. Or being born with a healthy enough body to work out for muscle. Etc, etc, etc.

    If that argument (that leveraging any available artificial enhancement is ok) held any conceptual weight, we would embrace PEDs in athletics. We don't. Ask yourself why?

      I'm confused what your argument is here. How does "playing the hand you were dealt" relate to "embracing PEDs in athletics"?

Most people (most likely not on HN's highly productive community) find it hard to stay focus following education materials. Some content creators put soothing bg music, animations, funny jokes. Something to engage. It's an art, be creative of what you have.
