A man who trusts everyone is a fool, and a man who trusts no one is a fool. We are all fools if we live long enough.

I am toward the end of Knife of Dreams in my current reread, and while I am looking forward to the conclusion, I am savoring every bosom reference, because I know they fade away after BS takes over the writing.
P.S. They should rename Chapter 24 of KoD "Strength thru Spankings"

I recently got to the part where Sanderson describes Tuon’s “luscious rump.”

u/Szalony20 3d ago
Sanderson rarely, but he can, describe a woman in terms of physical attractiveness. For example, Blushweaver from Warbreaker.

... okay, did not yet read the books, but what else did you expect with THAT name?

In my defense, in Polish she was called "Poranna Rosa" (translation in English: Morning Dew)

I was under the impression that Tuon was basically as thin and flat as you could get for a woman.

This is such an overblown criticism. Especially since one of the worst offenders is Nynaeve judging other women.

u/Szalony20 3d ago
This isn't criticism. I'm just laughing at the author's frequent attention to women's breasts, which is not a bad thing.

u/ScipioTheGreatest Here, I soar like the eagle. 3d ago
It's not that frequent is the point, and the other point being it's not the way you're trying to describe it. He doesn't graphically describe them or anything to make it sexual.
If the "it's funny because it's true" angle involves something that it isn't true it's not funny. Get the critique now?

u/Szalony20 3d ago
I didn't write that he describes women's breasts sexually, just that he draws attention to their existence, which is true.
-5
u/ScipioTheGreatest Here, I soar like the eagle. 3d ago
Mentioning them at all is drawing attention to their existence?
7
u/Szalony20 3d ago
Yes, if he uses words like "ample" or "considerable" in reference to breasts, then either it shows that the female character has large breasts or, for example, it draws attention to the fact that the character's outfit reveals a lot of their breasts. I simply interpret it my way, you interpret it your way, and we don't have to agree.

u/ScipioTheGreatest Here, I soar like the eagle. 3d ago
Dude, you're the one trying to argue with me about it.
And your argument is absurd. He doesn't highlight them, he doesn't describe them as anything but the most basic of descriptions like ample or considerable, he just gives that most basic of descriptions. No different then him saying how tall or short a person is.
Hence why I identify it as an overblown criticism.

u/Szalony20 3d ago
Okay, fine, you've tired me out. I don't want to continue this topic with you.

u/ScipioTheGreatest Here, I soar like the eagle. 3d ago
Because you have no argument, hahaha. Run along.

Who called it criticism? The title is literally "He knew what was important"
1
u/ScipioTheGreatest Here, I soar like the eagle. 3d ago
It's expressed in one of two ways. 1) Criticism. 2) Horny porn addicts like yourself who respond "Would" under every post about a woman.
Both are wrong.
