Why Am I A Bad Person For Like Large Breasts And Sexy Nuns?

Um...no. I find large breasts to be very attractive, but I like large to mean within the realm of physical possibility. I've got quite a folder filled with stuff I'd rather not talk about where everyone can see. I very much enjoy the sight of a naked woman. I still think the Sorceress looks stupid, and for a very simple reason. There is a time and a place for sexualized things. A frontline fighter who is wearing a low cut top isn't one of them, unless it is there for a good reason, like with Bayonetta.EHKOS said:
There's nothing wrong with enjoying sexploitation and/or nunsploitation. Hell, I enjoy my blacksploitation and jewsploitation films without shame. They have a market and rightly so. Not everything can be cerebral masterpieces. With that said, if you produce such works, expect them to be treated like trash.Silverblade said:
When exploitative works come out, they will be criticized for being exploitative... that's kinda a no-brainer. The reason for this is that exploitation is a cheap form of entertainment and will be called out for being such. Once again, you are not a bad person for enjoying such works, but the designer/developer/producer/game is seen as shallow and will be condescended by anyone who takes the medium seriously. And rightly so.
It's my opinion that no-one's sexual or aesthetic preferences are a problem until it hurts someone else. (This is why pedophilia is bad: by acting on it AT ALL you're harming someone else.) Likewise, a preference for large breasts wasn't an issue until it informed the design of almost every single female character in video games. Dragon's Crown probably wouldn't have gotten the press it did if the guy behind the art hadn't replied to the token level of criticism by pretty much saying "LOL UR GAY". I call it token criticism because it's always there, but it usually doesn't get press. There's always going to be a smallish group of feminists and the like complaining about the sexism in a given game's design. (That's not to say that they don't have a point, just that they're always there.)
No your not a bad person. Lots of people like porn. Because thats what it is. Porn. Most video game contain a good deal of male-oriented porn. And if your okay with the industry being capable of aspiring to nothing more then porn, then you're fine. If you fine with every goddamn action game in the universe trying to throw in porn as a feature, then you are the current ideal demographic. But if you think that there should be a few games that are NOT porn, then maybe theres a problem here. Personally, I'd like to, every once in a while, have female character that I can interact with that I don't feel like the creators want me to masturbate to. For variety sake, if anything.
Personally, even in my porn, I prefer human women, and not creepy, alien, chest-based flesh-mountains.

Bullshit - it just means the demand (if there is one) hasn't been filled. You can't go back to the pre-mobile phone days and say "No one's made a mobile phone, so obviously the demand isn't there". I don't know if any "look at my dick" games have even been made, so it's hard to gauge if there's a demand for it or not - we won't know until someone makes the product.Eri said:
Of the Dragon's Crown characters I always found the Amazon to be the most horrible design, she looks even more mind-bendingly weird in three dimensions it would appear. That figurine is just...I shan't sleep for hours!undeadsuitor said:intentional stylization or not, it doesn't stop it from being nightmare material
the whole "my horrible aesthetically unpleasing artwork is my style" sounds like a 16 year old DA user.
Liking big boobs doesn't make you a bad person. Big boobs are okay. The whole Dragon's Crown fiasco was a bit blown out of proportion (ironically) I think because the art style used was just so uniquely odd. I have no issue with the witch having massive knockers or that the amazon is scantily clad, I think their tiny heads and the weird muscles-on-muscles-on-muscles thing the amazon has going on below the waist to be more disturbing. But if that's what you like then I have no probalem with that, you aren't hurting anyone by liking them.
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with liking the sexy nuns from Hitman. Latex is sexy (nuns not so much) but obviously isn't to everyones tastes. The only issue I have with the offending trailer is that the Saints are apparently a bit shit at their job, although maybe it's just that Agent 47 is a super badass. Plus you'd expect a hitsquad sent to take out a highly skilled assassin might have tried to be a bit more inconspicuous and not all stand together. But I digress. Again, your preference for sexy outfits doesn't make you a bad person unless you stole the outfit for a woman to wear or got one that is two sizes too small deliberately and then watch her try and squeeze in to it as you chortle nearby.
Yeah, that's kind of the problem overall. The writing in video games, on average, is kind of shit. This is just one of the many MANY symptoms, and it's a bit of a sore spot for many people.Ryotknife said:
The reason people don't like Dragon's Crown sorceress's figure is because it's bloody stupid.
They're not hating you because you enjoy that body shape. But seeing how that's all her body shape is good for - pandering - then it's not hard to see why they're annoyed that YET ANOTHER game offers little in the way of realistic females and spends EVEN MORE time trying to titillate an increasingly jaded audience.
Why do people tell me to stop being so uptight because I'm annoyed by the lack of another Jade? Or Alyx? Hell, I'd even take another New Lara Croft at this point.

It's not necessarily an insecurity issue. Could just be a desire to be sexually intimidating. Think Bayonetta, or catwoman from Tim Burtons batman, where sexuality is simultaniously used to control or influence the actions of others, particularly individuals that would be otherwise unassailable, and convey a sort of confident danger.DugMachine said:
I take the designs as cartoonish overblown ideals of what A and B will look like. Men are ridiculous. Women are ridiculous. All of it is gross and misshapen. Like the knight. Wearing all that armor and carrying around all the time... that's a freaking load on your legs. They will be bigger than those pretzels he's walking on, especially with all that swinging. I mean, if we're going to talk about all the inconsistencies, let's do it.
Nor should the Elf be so lithe. Has anyone ever used a Bow? I mean, really used it? There's a reason why these people have such cut arms.
The designs are all grossly laughable, from start to finish. The Amazon... I don't even know where to go in with that. It's all wrong. It's a weird mix of fat and muscle but it's there. The Knight should have some type of legs carrying all that stuff around. The Elf should be cut to shit. Hell, I can see the Sorcess still having those things because... she's not really fighting. She's throwing around magic. It would make sense that she has those things even if she does fight monsters all day. Because she's not doing it with a sword. Just will and magic.
It's all cartoonish. People, let it go.

I find the Sorceress aesthetically pleasing and in no way stupid at all, and the Elf is realistically proportioned, the reason a lot of media has women with huge tracks of land is because a lot of men (my self included) find that hot, we all have our own sexual quirks like I can not find tanned women sexy at all but a lot of people do. So just life with the fact that a good number of people do in fact like that something you do not about a particular character.lacktheknack said:
You're not a bad person. I like big breasts, too! Men and women like breasts!
I like Dragon's Crown art, too.
As for the AssassiNuns it might be offensive on a religious level more than anything. I'm not that religious to be bothered, personally, but I know people who might be.

Cartoony muscley men with flailing dicks that grapple eachother in an effort to come out on top.
I won't feel bad if it's not sufficient to change anything, but it seems worth mentioning since you brought it up. For the comedy if anything.
Wait, isn't that a false comparison? Genitalia and mammary glands are two completely different entities. Wouldn't the proper comparison be between male genitalia and female genitalia or female breasts and male breasts? Of the former, I've only seen one example in games (male nudity in GTA IV) and of the latter I've seen considerable more exposed male pectorals than I've seen exposed female breasts in games.sweetylnumb said:
If sexy stripper nuns in itself was the problem, people would have lost their shit over Saints Row the Third. They didn't. It has to do with the context of the characters just randomly stripping their habits.
And even that evil Anita Sarkeesian says that enjoying questionable material doesn't make someone bad, so obviously it's okay.
Anyway, plenty of reasons you could have that avatar. So it's cool you explained, as it's not a given.

But by that logic, I find green-haired men who look like women to be attra....Okay, bad example.Maxtro said:

As one of the few men who will admit to buying Rumble Roses XX (it's actually a good game for the most part) it's normal. To me sexualization in games (women with unrealistic proportions or doing things in outfits that don't cover much) is just another reason to enjoy the game. On one hand I enjoy games like Empire Total War for the deep strategic enjoyment, then I might play Rumble Roses XX because it makes another part of me feel good.
As for that muscle woman figurine, I'm a fan of women with muscle and they did a horrible job on that. There are women like Monica Mowi (my personal fave) and they look nothing like that, they have the muscle but those hip bones look like they're gonna break through her skin. Also due to the fact that breasts are largely fat those would have to be fake due to the low amount of fat present in her body.

I was more comparing it to how women s breasts poke out and are grossly exaggerated, dicks literally poking out of thier pants is more like porn
