To claim that there is something inherently wrong with depicting parts of the female body in any context, especially one that is clearly conveying some sort of depth and artistic vision, is extremely demeaning to women.lacktheknack said:And while I can appreciate that (I have to, I'm a modern art fan), I see you trying to defend the art choices that show off boobs, butts and compromising positions, and I think that's a swing and a miss.FrankatronX said:Yes I am. But art is about depth so it is up to us to look for meaning in art. If the art is just given to us as a single flash where all you need is communicated to the first moment of sight then we deprive ourselves of any possible concept of understanding the artistic process and characteristics put into the art itself.lacktheknack said:You're reaching reeeeeeeally haaaaaaaard, man.
The first glance gives us one image and we follow that up with a closer look at the concept. When they contradict each other it's always interesting and I see a lot of that in the artwork for Dragon's Crown.
It seems that a lot of people are not giving artists credit here and just looking for excuses to be pissed off in a way that is puritanical and oppresive to the people they're protecting. I'm reminded of when everybody looked at Mass Effect, saw some side boob, and concluded that it was a "rape simulator."
