[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4379034, member: 2067"] Oh heck yeah. The amount of mud being slung is perhaps the only thing more absurd than dragonbewbs in the first place. "OH NO! He said they were absurd! He's obviously thinking too hard about fantasy! Because obviously he could rationalize them if he were to think harder about fantasy! Which obviously the designers have done because anything other than breasts would obviously have some sort of mechanical drawback in a game that is so obviously concerned with realistically simulating the effect of bright hunter orange on a creature's observational powers (taking into account, of course, the colorblindness of the viewer!" Huzzah! As the TV Tropes links I posted basically argue, male artists like to draw breasts and will do so given half an opportunity, and if this serves as fetish fuel for one of the designers then someone somewhere is going to come up with the whole "I like them and so they're a go, screw the naysayers," approach. Which is wonderful, but at least it doesn't try to argue that it makes sense if you think about it because only those who think about it too much think it doesn't make sense. I don't think that much about dragonbewbs. I think they're dumb, and I arrived at that conclusion after seeing the picture and going "what the hell is that thing doing with breasts, it doesn't look like it should have them there, that's weird." Trying to rationalize them as monotremes or mammals with scales or whatever the heck else is being passed around is missing the point. To me, it's dumb. I don't care what kind of explanation you offer up, the [I]visual image looks dumb to me[/I]. The dragonborn don't have breasts because they nurse their young. They nurse their young as an excuse for having breasts. They have breasts because that's what the artist drew, mang, and someone in the upper register liked it, so that's what they have, deal with it. I've now wasted far too many words on this issue, and am going to see about buying some of that time back from Satan. The End. [/QUOTE]
