So Boobs = Evil. Damn I be a slave of Satan.
And I must be a carrier of evil, I wonder if I get any perks out of it.
OT: That's a bit of the ridiculous. I guess I just found a good reason to not give a flying turd about this game.
Fair enough if they were the only race in the game, a measure of a good game in my eyes is one that gives players choice. If players want to dress up as some demonic succubus lookin' thingies they can, if they want to play as a generic armored person dojur they can, if they want to play as a pubescent neko girl then we can just alert the authorities.
In all seriousness the day humanity isn't allowed to have any fun with sexuality is the day I use the 'I don't want to live on this planet anymore' meme. Buncha' narks.
What's wrong with wanting to play a game as a small catgirl? Do people think the
only thing they want from their character aesthetic is sexual gratification?
Also, what the hell is with all the suggestions to "Look at porn if you want tittilation"? Just staring at T&A is boring and unstimulating. It's also anti-cerebral and completely uncreative. A mostly-nude woman is completely bland. However, a mostly-nude woman that can kill demons, kick ass, and look good doing it is FAR more interesting. Also, you get to see them move in ways that don't really show up in pornos or exotic dancing.
However, I don't find
any of what TERA wants to consider "Sexy" to actually be so. That Diablo 3 female barbarian, the Panther Women from Diablo 2, and a lot of other armors from World of Warcraft (Especially from TBC)... those looked
nice, because while skimpy, they keep the "Warrior" vibe instead of trying to mimic fetish gear. Except maybe the Panther Women's corsets...
And what the hell is with the fascination with "high-heels"? They look absolutely
terrible, and make the woman's resulting pose really, really awkward.

I'm all for the idea in the OP. Completely without irony. If you're making a sex fantasy, make a goddamn sex fantasy, and make it unbiased by gender or sexual orientation.
...but that would be fair-minded, and fair is not something the real world does well. Sex only sells well on a few very specific, heavily stereotyped lines. Tera'a advertising is merely an example of the most common of said lines.
Also, they really tried hard for the plastic bottle-blonde look there... not terribly appealing, at least to this guy.
Honestly, I'm only halfway joking about it. People have been trying passive aggressively to morph their fantasy worlds into an outlet for their frustrated libidos for SO long that I kind of just want someone to get it over with. Truly and honestly so that we can just get it out of our collective systems and get on with our lives for God sakes.
I'm tired of the echoes of some repressed guy's erotic fantasies invading an otherwise perfectly enjoyable/immersive game. Especially when he's demonstrably in the minority and his condition could easily be solved with a few quick porn site suggestions. Honestly, I'd be more than happy to provide links to these people if I could just see a game that isn't colored by pre-pubescent notions of sexuality.
That "Look at porn if you want tittilation" argument's really dumb. Just staring at T&A is boring and unstimulating. It's also anti-cerebral and completely uncreative, especially when just watching someone
elses creations. One of the lesser points of Fantasy is to use it as an outlet for sexual/erotic fantasies, even by well-respected Fantasy and Sci-fi authors such as Robert Jordan(Wheel of Time and it's "Naked people are powerful. Show us your power"), George RR Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire), Roger Zelazny (Chronicals of Amber and Dilvish the Damned have some memorable sequences), Gene Roddenberry(Star Trek), Robert A Heinlan, George Lucas, Piers Anthony, Terry Pratchett, and Douglas Adams. A mostly-nude woman is completely bland. However, a mostly-nude woman that can kill demons, kick ass, and look good doing it is FAR more interesting. Also, you get to see them move in ways that don't really show up in pornos or exotic dancing.
