Nothing more scary than being hunted by a horde of male orcs all wearing only chainmail bikinis.... That should maybe be the beholder in a chainmail bikini helping them

Should RPG art feature chainmail bikinis?

The 69th layer of the Abyss will feature hordes of tarrasques wearing chainmail bikinis. I read it on the World Wide Web, so it must be true.

Greetings!
Hello S'mon my friend! The strange thing about it that as S'mon commented, my thread really had nothing at all to do with sexism, or oppressing women, and that nonsense. The fact that some people can *read* that into something, or artificially construct something, doesn't then make it valid.
I believe that far too many people pour too much politics, ideology, and political correctness into the GAME. With the women I play with, including my wife, there are elements of equal opportunity cheescake. Yeah, there's voluptuous women. Lots of 'em. Get over it, ok? There's also lots of buffed men, too. Lots of eye-candy for the ladies, too.
There's lots of normal folks, too, so it's all in context.
I suppose coming from my background as a Marine, there are lots of women who are hot. They like looking hot. The men, being in the infantry like myself, were all buffed and hot look'in too. We like it. We're comfortable with our bodies, and with sexuality and sensuality in general. When elements of such are also in the game, no one thinks anything of it. In fact, they are often quite interested, just in fun. Embracing such doesn't make one a sexist neanderthal, nor does it make one a Templar-Groupie, or a slut. It just makes you a normal healthy person who isn't bothered by a bit of "cheesecake" of whatever flavour. And a well-grounded sense of humour is a requirement.
That's something that I think is sadly lacking with many people in our hobby, t'd seem.

I find the concept of a longsword codpiece rather disturbing...

Bring on the bikini's and loincloths I say.
This is fantasy. I want big huge strapping men in loincloths with mighty swords and curvascious babes in bikini's casting spells. And those are the one's with 'lots' of clothing on.
Give me work like Frazetta's:

I like chainmail bikini art. It does not have to be restricted to RPG material.

There's a jarhead for you.SHARK said:
Military women are NOT hot... especially marines. They look like a Dikes on Bikes convention with guns.
I suppose marine men might be attractive if they ever got their machismo attitudes down a bit...
At least you marines don't dress like gays like the Air Force guys did... All those southern men in their crew cuts, tight pants and cowboy boots... I could never figure out if I was on a military base or smack deep in the middle of gay pride week back home in San Francisco...
Seriously though; I agree with you on this debate.
Sexuality in art does NOT equal discriminiation of either gender.
We are sex objects. We are people too. It's time people accepted that fact. You can't be one or the other without constantly warring against your human nature. It's so much more natural and healthy to be both.
