No bra you say

Ey, lil' sis. Chill. Let the tomboy be tomboy.

Rather than preventing future sagging, bras cause atrophy of the muscles that hold-up the breasts.

 

[nathan67003]

Fun fact: breasts sag less long-term without bras (apart from when moderate and higher intensity exercise is concerned - then it's better to wear an encapsulating sports bra)

Still, at least wear some fucking pasties or something jfc

I don't believe that bras prevent sagging, show me some evidence little sis

I'm curious to what extent this myth persists in Japan and East Asia in general. It feels like I see a lot of these marketing-fueled myths repeated in manga/manhwa/manhua. Is it just a simple case of various mangakas being uninformed, or something that persists in the general cultural consciousness on that side of the world?

Your second suggestion provides a better fit, but “marketing” is not the best word here. Manga are informed by a great deal of propaganda that is not merely commercial.

One might see the insane claims for Japanese cuisine (it conquers ever world, other than our real world) as commercial. But the normalization of anaesthetization-with-alcohol looks more like a matter of social control by the ruling class. And the economic thinking in most manga is based upon the technocratic presumptions that inform Japanese state policy, despite the extended disappointments of that policy.

Fair, and I agree. I just used that word because when trying to find the origin of that myth some years back the best I got was some very old advertisements. I just assumed that it was marketing that propagated and perpetuated it from there since it's something I've seen repeated from all over the world, and most ultra-widespread misconceptions like that I've seen are the result of modern marketing.
