Bimbo

Looking into bimbo things for my bimbo dog. It seems like there are two major ‘schools’ at the moment - The more kink-focused angle, which is more about the look and fashion of a particular brand of femininity usually associated with vapid idiots that evolved throughout the 80s through 2010s. This is more porn stars or artists - This mostly-tiktok movement that draws it in with leftist politics and tried to ‘reclaim the label of bimbo’ by combining overt sexuality with social justice education The latter seems... Strange to me? So both angles, from those within, seem to involve embracing overt sexuality and pushing against typical standards through a particular brand of hypersexualization inspired by pop culture of the 80s through 2010s. So I would say that is the 'core’ of it, from my basic understanding. But the two seem kind of opposed in other respects; in particular the more kink/porn aligned angle seems to dismiss feminist and social issues in favour of appreciating that ‘dumb,’ ‘plastic,’ or ‘vapid’ angle a lot. It takes the traditional definition (A vapid idiot who looks cute and dresses in traditionally skimpy attire) as a goal in and of itself. Those who see it as a movement are more likely to be feminists who want to ‘reclaim the label,’ and thus challenge the ‘vapid’ idea through a focus on showing how you can be educated on social or feminist issues. But that’s... Weird, right? Since there’s an inherent focus on hypersexualization in this, the two aspects seem to mix a little. All aspects of bimbo and bimbofication seem like they embrace sexuality and, to a lesser degree, aspects like sex work and the acceptance of it... However you have this more kink angle, an approach that is kind of... Not really -traditionalist- by any means, but sort-of embracing aspects that are now considered deeply non-feminist: objectifying women as sex objects, dumb or vapid outlooks, being interested in pop culture glitz and glamour, and to a degree playing with traditional gender roles as something more desirable (Being subservient to men, etc.) And the other side, which is sort of utilizing a lot of feminist and leftist theory that seems in conflict to this. In any case... I think that, overall, the latter, feminist angle bears little interest to me since it’s ultimately just the same talking points you find everywhere else these days. I think a lot of people are getting quite annoyed at these talking points, haha. If this is to enrich my dog OC, having them parrot feminist slogans is... unnecessarily political. They’re definitely a traditional -idiot- However, the more kink-oriented aspects bear some rather interesting questions... It’s especially worth noting that this kind of hyperfeminine ideal you see in bimbofication is not at -all- tied to -actually- being female. You see bimbofication used by males (Who remain males, just males hypersexualized using the same gender roles usually associated with women,) or tied into transformation, in bimbofication porn all the time. That’s interesting, because it means it can be more about the aesthetic and role and fantasy of it than earnestly saying ‘This is ideal’ as it’s detractors sometimes claim. So I think it’s like, not tied to promoting gender stereotypes and instead is tied to a specific kind of roleplay or fantasy, if you get me. More broadly, this kind of hypersexual approach is also deeply non-traditional: A lot of it originated from a sex-negative culture as something of a backlash against the Christian right. In the 90s, ‘bimbo’ was more derogative for this kind of thing... But now, as we see more sex negativity again and any female character or costume is derided as being too sexual or stereotypical, perhaps that is the reason why we are seeing a rise in this of late.  Perhaps people are embracing it as a counter to that once more. And, maybe the more feminist/social justice angle you see sometimes is about how we can balance these things? But that’s all movement, haha. It... May not help me making my dog OC cuter.
