Korea's Bizarre New Wedding Trend: Is It Sexist?
Korea has a new trend for couples getting married: taking a series of photos with the bride photoshopped into a miniature. Freaky! I don't get it - why is it so cute to have women depicted as tiny playthings?

See more photos at the source here.
What do you think about this trend? Is it cute, or sexist?

I wouldn't call it sexist, but it's definately not for me.

It's pretty cute, but isn't everything sexist?
I mean, yes it is sexist, but just as easily, the woman could've been like "well, I want my husband photoshopped small too."

that's hilarious. i'm pretty sure there was a manga out there with a little girl who had a crush on a guy transformed into a miniature.

That's just creepy...
Maybe if both were miniaturized it would be cuter? :/

Huh. It is sorta cute --I admit, I laughed at a lot of the pics, especially the one of her pulling his hair --but I do agree with you in that it's kinda sexist how it's so one-sided. If it were both ways, with the couple taking turns being the one in miniature, I'd shrug it off as just another odd trend.

If the wife doesn't find it offensive, I think it's HILARIOUS.
I would so do it and be a little beast climbing all over my guy.
If the guy did it as well, they would be great mementos to look back on.

It's weird but in a cute way.

It's cute but I do see the underlying sexist message. I think it'd be cute to have both the bride photoshopped small and also the groom photoshopped small in the bride's hands. >:) Show who's REALLY boss. Hahaha~

idk why someone would call it sexist, people really have to stop taking things too literally -_-
