Read this post, explore the linked website, and bug their owners. [personal profile] zarhooie's complaint is that a lot of We Love Fine's geeky T-shirts don't acknowledge the existence of don't have versions cut to fit the female[-assigned-at-birth] geek, something about licensing, I don't pretend to understand, and Kat would appreciate it if we all expressed to them our desire for T-shirts cut to accommodate breasts.

I do not have money for that Korra shirt. I do not have money for that Korra shirt. I do not...

I don't think it's as much a refusal to acknowledge birth assigned geeks (they often partner wit The Mary Sue as the usual licensors being idiots.
That said, I've never quite understood the fascination with "girly" t-shirts. Probably because for reasons I don't want to get into publicly (PM me if you're curious)' I'm uncomfortable with shirt cuts that emphasize my breasts and therefore just find them uncomfortable. Or I'm just so petite (read: short but not thin) that they don't fit right so I'm more comfortable in a slightly bulkier men's shirt.

I've been trying to get over my reaction to this and not say anything, but there's a serious thin-privilege thing going on over there. The idea that it's kind of a travesty that one particular store doesn't carry EVERYTHING in sizes to flatter smaller women's bodies is just making me have rage flails every time I think about it. I'm pretty much thrilled any time an online store that carries designs I like carries shirts that will BASICALLY fit on my body and that don't cost $$$$. Given how small those fitted t-shirts run, anybody who can wear them can find no end of clothing to fit and flatter them just about anywhere. That's a privilege that I can't even really imagine.

I'm sorry that this is probably rude and argumentative, but I keep thinking about it and can't really get past it.

Which Korra shirt is the one you want? I kind of feel I need all of them, but especially BabyKorra and the Fire Ferrets one.
