Bring back the exposed boobs on the Monsters!

[Vayden]

No, no, no, no. There is enough cheesecake art out there to last a lifetime. Something like this is far more along the lines I want them to push the art: Women Fighters In Reasonable Armor

hey, I hate to break it to you guys but women played the game back in the boob days. It's not some automatic anti-woman thinger. There's nudity in art and movies all over the place and women go and look at those things.

When did boobs become unacceptable to society? Last I knew these weren't the Victorian ages.

Oh please naked boobs are still unacceptable to a lot of people look at the outrage some people have seeing a mom nurse her baby in public which is what the breast was designed for.

Personally I and my female friend wish they would take nudity out of a lot of movies. I don't mind tasteful scenes or scenes where it makes sense for nudity but so much just feels like it was put in to titillate boys.

And the feminist in me always wonder why is it always the woman who has to be naked why not the man.

 

[Elf Witch]

I don't feel to bad about saggy boobs. I never felt that the boobs were everwhere but done appropiately. There should be naked demon women. I don't expect to see boobs on goblins and orks but I guess there's always a first time. Maybe a dragon with boobs would be a novelty.

Boobs are everywhere in fantasy art if they are not showing them completely nude they are showing them with a lot cleavage and as my one friend jokes going by the art the only woman who ever become adventuress are woman with big breasts.

Surely the roleplaying table can be more inclusive than the comic industry and not turn every female into a cleavage wielding sexpot, a bit of cleavage on a succubus would make sense but at least show the incubus as well. Don't put off the female audience for your games with poor choices of art, it will end up giving wotc less money, making the community less diverse and will help keep the stupid idea alive that it's okay to objectify women in mainstream media.

I'm not sure what you're talking about there. Movies are full of shirtless men and man-butt. The only part of a man that's not shown in (non-pornographic) films regularly, is the part thats not shown in (non-pornographic) films on women.

As for whether they bring back naked boob in D&D, I'm mostly indifferent, except where it makes me think "If you can't show women without shirts, then you shouldn't be showing men without shirts either."

There's nudity in art

Such art isn't trying to get women into playing RPGs.

and movies...

Such movies aren't trying to get women into playing RPGs.

When men are naked they are painted (like the watchmen) and/or its a very quick shot. Which is mostly true of the groin region on women to (there are exceptions for women, Basic Instinct comes to mind). Else they end up with the NC-17 rating. However there are plenty of films with men baring their chests.

Um...no.

I suppose if these kinds of [Self Sensored] posts replace edition warring, then all is well in imagination land.
