However, the trend has grown large enough to earn a response from the official Resident Evil account (you can probably already guess who it\u2019s about). But apart from Capcom, big girl afficionados were quick to express their reverence for FromSoftware games and the characters of Hidetaka Miyazaki too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole big girl frenzy was triggered by an <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/kyomunna\/status\/1792866702738567433\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unassuming tweet<\/a> from a guy who expressed his dream to date a woman that towers over him with the combination of her natural height and high heels. Since its posting, the tweet has been viewed over 64 million times, and its quote retweets have become an extensive gallery of beautiful and tall female cosplayers and celebrities.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u30c7\u30ab\u5973\u30d6\u30fc\u30e0\u3067\u3059\u3063\u3066\uff1f<br>\u3088\u3046\u3084\u304f\u79c1\u306e\u6642\u4ee3\u304c\u304d\u305f\u3068\u3044\u3046\u3053\u3068\u304b\u3057\u3089\u3002<br> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/REBHFun?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#REBHFun<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rM7SNZWhAl\">pic.twitter.com\/rM7SNZWhAl<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u3010\u516c\u5f0f\u3011\u30d0\u30a4\u30aa\u30cf\u30b6\u30fc\u30c9 \/ RESIDENT EVIL PORTAL Official (@REBHPortal) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/REBHPortal\/status\/1795332707729510659?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 28, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Post translation:<\/strong> <em>Big girl boom you say?

In response, the official Japanese Resident Evil account quickly hopped onto the bandwagon with Lady Dimitrescu, the iconic giantess from Capcom\u2019s Resident Evil Village.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u30ed\u30b6\u30ea\u30a2\u3082\uff01 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MuvftJ4mUc\">pic.twitter.com\/MuvftJ4mUc<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u3055\u306b\u3058\u3044\u3055\u3093 (@sanijiisan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sanijiisan\/status\/1795429425397502420?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 28, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, the big girl boom also reignited admiration for the vertically endowed characters of FromSoftware titles, such as Gwynevere (Dark Souls), The Doll (Bloodborne), Rosaria, Mother of Rebirth (Dark Souls 3) and even Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos (Bloodborne). As users find themselves relating to Hidetaka Miyazaki\u2019s love of big women, his legendary interview in the Dark Souls Design Works book was inevitably brought up.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this interview, Miyazaki explains his reasoning behind the design of Gwynevere, commenting that he \u201csimply wanted to feature a big woman\u201d and that his personal fantasy was to be \u201ccoddled like a child by a giant woman.\u201d On the same topic, the creator reveals, \u201cI like the thought of a warm and compassionate woman who is bigger than me. It speaks to something we lost as we grow up.\u201d Incidentally, Miyazaki also does his best to explain that Gwynevere&#8217;s large breasts were not his doing, but of another designer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Update (2024-05-31 9:52 JST):<\/strong><\/strong> Corrected game title for Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos, Added link to relevant tweet<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A frenzy for big girls and giantesses on the Japanese side of X has reignited admiration for FromSoftware game characters and Miyazaki.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":31689,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-31686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
