Excited
Asian American women, do you hate being objectified? If so, you’re not going to be so thrilled at the hottest wedding photo trend in China and Korea, which is to take pictures of the couple with the bride shrunk in Photoshop and put into totally adorable poses: miniature bride in the hands of the groom, miniature bride sitting on the shoulders of the groom, miniature bride suffocated sleeping in a tiny jewelry box. (No photos of a bride amputated and put into a box exist, at least not yet.) So is this adorable, or completely creepy? (h/t: Laura)

YOU"RE SO CUTE AND SMALL I COULD EAT YOU!!
Well, I would consider this a little bit of a thumbelina complex. The smaller they are, the cuter the brides may seem.
This looks like an anime figurine otaku's dream.
Well, *why* is only the bride shown as being tiny, exactly? That might lead you to think about why some might think they're being objectified. I think it's creepy that they're shown as little dolls to play with.

I agree with LindaChan and tiennguyen. I don't think this is really objectifying women, but a series of these is a little creepy. I mean, if they had one more picture where the guy was in a box, would they be objectifying both genders?
One or two would be unique and cool, but a whole series of them featuring the same couple is just weird.
I'm not sure how this relates to be objectified, but it sure is creepy.
