It’s interesting people mention Violet Beauregarde and other characters in childhood as the cause, but I would frame it as the media that made may people realise they were wired this way. Earliest memories I have were being fascinated by bigger bellies, stuffing pillows up my shirts etc.I think it’s always been there from the beginning
Nagtek:
I agree, movies and cartoons aren’t triggers but catalysts.

Really well put!
I would love there to be more research into it but I am convinced there has to be genetics and a cross over of nurture/nature dynamics.
