[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 6394085, member: 70"] I get that perfectly. She didn't ask if I "got" it. She didn't ask if I understood it. (I do; it makes sense.) She didn't ask if I agree with it. (not being female, I can't say from personal experience and I haven't had a chance to ask my female players.) I understood her question to be, in essence, whether or not I would care if the situation were reversed. And my answer is no, I wouldn't care. Thri-kreen (which yes, I've played) are an existing D&D player race with no real comparison to human sexual features. Lizardmen are another (though the name biases the issue). I'm not sure if you're intentionally rigging up a straw man or not, but the question wasn't whether or not characters should have any sexual characteristics; it was about appropriate sexual characteristics. Nobody has said that elven women shouldn't have breasts. The block and tackle of an elven gentleman is as appropriate as the bubblie-jubblies of an elven lady. Following your logic all the way out, illustrating thri-kreen with penile sheathes and beards will make them more appealing to your invisible male majority. The presence of breasts on reptilians and constructs in D&D artwork still doesn't bother me, though. [/QUOTE]
