Webcomic example: In Scott Kurtz's PvP, Jade complains that she can't make a super-heroine on NCSoft's City Of Heroes MMORPG without producing an avatar with a back-breaking pair of breasts. When Brent and Francis explain that this condition fits the genre, Jade retaliates by naming her character the Titillator with the battle-cry macro, "Eyes up here!"
* More recently, though, City Of Heroes has allowed bust sizes to range from petite to Russ Meyer. However, it is still not possible to make a truly flat-chested female character.
Dragonblade said:I actually find Shelly's writing pretty humorous. *shrugs* I don't get what all the nerd rage is about. She reminds me of several girls I dated before I got married. And my wife has very similar tastes, although my wife doesn't game.
Cadfan said:...it was a joke. The humor comes from pointing out that men and women will likely choose to depict female characters in different ways, specifically, with different bust sizes.
