Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elf Witch" data-source="post: 4055067" data-attributes="member: 9037">I find the subject interesting. How people use fantasy to explore facets of their personality and their dreams.  For example playing a character that is not tied down with pesky morals can be liberating.Having a beautiful slave whose only job is to fulfill your every wish can be a nice fantasy. It is a common enough male fantasy. And it has some basis in history look at the cultures that allowed men more than one wife and allowed hundreads of concubines. And one of the themes in a bodice ripper is that in the end the woman wins because she has all the power because the man ends up wanting her more than anything else.Woman who play that they are a dominant society and men are nothing but slaves there to do their bidding maybe having some fun feeling the rush of power of being in control and being the one with the power. I just disagree with you that there is something more to it that there is some kind of pathology involved. Or that is says something fundmental about the person's outlook on life. There does not have to be any thing deeper other a few hours of pretend kids do it all the time ,the woman for example don't have to be angry with men and are working that out through role play, the guys don't really have issues with woman and only feel comfortable if they deal with woman from a postion of complete power.A man who day dreams he is James Bond with a beautiful different sex partner every day of the week maybe actually be a happily married man.As a woman I sometimes grind my teeth at the lastest gaming artwork with the female fighter in chainmail bikini with a cold metal thong riding up her butt. Not because how dare men want to look at cheesecake but because it is a stupid picture. I am like how she can fight in that. I know some feminist scream about art like that reading much more into it than the simple fact that men like to look at beautiful half naked woman. They see it as men don't really want female gamers at the table. That it used to put woman in their place.I think there is a tendency  today to read to many ulterior motives in to things. My first reaction when I read the first post was not OMG he wants to put the rape and degredation of woman into his game. As I said there could be a lot of reason a comely elven female would cost more. In Victorian times pretty servents made more money and were used as parlormaids and homely servents were scullery maids and below stairs servents. It was a matter of status to have pretty maids.Or maybe they have an eastern arabain nights feel to their game with sultans and harems.I just find it kind of interesting that you tend to see some kind of pathology and deeper motivations to this.</blockquote>
