[QUOTE="Buttercup, post: 509935, member: 990"] So are you suggesting that anyone who doesn't have the same taste as you is bourgois? That's not very nice, is it? The fact is, visible tattoos, piercings and other body mods are going to cause a person problems in some walks of life. If you are in an artistic field, or to a lesser extent IT, it's no problem. But if you show up for a job interview at a big-shot law firm, at a bank, in a hospital (in a position that deals w/ patients) or at many other conservative companies, they will show you the door. I'm not making a value judgement by saying this, just stating the facts as I know them. But I'm hijacking the thread, aren't I? Sorry. To get back to the discussion, I think WotC was trying to do several things with the 3E art. They were trying to appeal to a new generation (hence the tatts n' piercings), and they were trying not to offend women (hence no more Elmore-esque chainmail bikinis). I think that was a sound business decision, but I'm sure they also knew they wouldn't be able to please everybody.:) [/QUOTE]
