[QUOTE="ProfessorCirno, post: 4347940, member: 65637"] Two things. 1) The problem with dragonborn isn't "They're dragon people!" Yes, some people get caught up in that. The problem with dragonborn is how they're presented. Compare them artistically and aesthetically with draconians. 2) That's also the problem with the dragonboobs. Yes, part of the problem is "This is stupid and doesn't belong because of biology." But the BIG problem is "This is stupid and doesn't belong because, holy crap, could you be any LAZIER with your designs?" That doesn't mean the artists themselves were lazy, but that the design for them was. As someone else stated, I imagine the meeting somehow went: "So, we have these big dragon people, how do we differentiate between genders?" "Just give them jugs." "You've got a gift, my friend." There's dozens on top of dozens of ways it could've been done better, many said and re-said over and over again. Make the males more colorful. Give a sexual dimorphism that's designed for ONLY THE DRAGONBORN to see (since they're the only ones that matter). Look into how [i]actual anatomy works[/i]. But instead, Wizards decided to go with "Just give them jugs". That's why most people think dragonboobs are stupid - they're lazy, they're sexist, and they pander horribly to 11-14 year old hole-in-pants demographics that [i]would buy or not buy the game irregardless of dragon breasts[/i]. Unless you think they're pandering to scalies. That's YOUR call, 4e fans ;p [/QUOTE]
