Dawnbringer Riven is not, how you say, overly "thicc"

Oh god why am I making this post.

Look, I'm just kind of frustrated that A: People are calling Dawnbringer Riven "thicc," and think that she might even be too thcc (as if there is such a thing kappa). and B: People are complaining about this.

In this day and age, the word thicc is thrown around to easily. Dawnbringer Riven isn't even that thicc, and I have visual aid to prove it. http://i.imgur.com/ckkRHxH.jpg I've outlined about where her legs are, and you can clearly see that they're not that unrealistic. A lot of it is an illusion created by her thigh armor, http://i.imgur.com/NE7FSR8.jpg as shown here. Further more, this image is slightly top-down, accentuating her, uh, wideness(?). http://i.imgur.com/YJysn7p.png What even is this. http://i.imgur.com/h0IBepv.jpg Why am I making this post again?

Anyway, the point is that Dawnbringer Riven isn't that thicc. So stop reveling/complaining about it. Her appearance of thiccness is an illusion caused by her wide stance and leg armor. Why am I so concerned about this topic. Just end me now.

If they want thicc, they should be playing DJ Sona.

To be fair she isn't exactly 'Thicc' as we meme it out to be. However people use thicc as an expression against the media's portrayal of 'skinny' - which isn't exactly displayed in a healthy way. Neither is the way 'thick' is displayed in public media either, which is what gave to the rise of the thicc meme, because we simply didn't like public media's portrayal of what 'thick' was. Riven isn't what you'd call 'thicc' as she has more of an athletic build. I propose this to be a special case scenario which I will define as 'Athlethicc'.

If anything, I would expect her legs to be larger than normal due to how many flips, lunges and dashes she does

Well she's called thicc partly for meme reasons, partly because media protrays proper women as sticks. Any woman, whether real or animated, with any sort of larger thighs or anything really is suddenly labeled thick, which really isn't the case as models are actually moreso "thin" than regular women "thick."

Don't let it get to you. Anyone can call her what they want, you drawing lines won't change their opinions. You just make your own opinions on various figures, as your opinion is the only one that should matter in your life in terms of this.

However yes, the floating bit of armor plating does make her seem larger. Although I see it easily, maybe others don't, who knows.

No picture from behind? Because she does look pretty THICC

I can finally say I have lived long enough to see a thread analyzing the THICC-ness of a character. Add a number of mathematical equations to calculate Riven's THICC-ness, or lack thereof, & this shit will be golden.

The day people stop using the word "thicc" and just say fucking thick is the day we'll walk one step back towards God's light.

I'm not even religious.

Idk buddy she still seems pretty T H I C C to me, there's just something off and I can't put my finger on it...

That picture of her recalling, sure one leg looks alright but then you look at the rest of her body and her other leg and it's... :thinking:

So much this. It's gotten out of hand. People just see thighs and/or a booty and just throw that word out, it's absolutely ridiculous.

When your a tit man so your cant sympathize with thiccness complaints

I'm certainly not going to call her thicc. But she's got the leg muscles to make me drool.

I personally don't like her stance. I wish they could have made it look a bit less awkward. Still will end up buying the skin though, it's an 1820 Riven skin, who am I kidding.

Actually, there isn't a female THICC champion in the whole game, and the last time Riot released a "sexy" champion was Jinx, back in 2013.
