Who Else Thinks This Chick is Hot?

I don't think you're quite getting my point, but that could be because I'm not really adequately articulating it. It isn't really about a specific incident of offensiveness or anything like that. It is a problematic cultural thing with gamers and fantasy art and women.

Regardless, it is the end of the work day on a Friday so I don't really have time to get into a further debate (and I doubt the moderators would permit one anyway) so, have a good weekend - maybe I'll make an attempt at making my point more clearly in a new thread later.

This thread strikes me as Exhibit A in "why D&D has trouble reaching female gamers." If it isn't the art, it is the male gamers.

You say that like the girls in my group don't take one look at Orlando Bloom or Viggo Mortinsen and swoon on the floor. Or, heck, like they don't take a look at characters from Naruto and do the same.

An appreciation for simple beauty (or depictions of it) doesn't make one scary. A drooling obsession might, but that's not limited by gender, either. I worked at a book store where Chriss Angel did a signing. Girls are quite capable of being slobbering maniacs on par with anyone in this thread...heck, some of them would *embarass* the people in this thread.

She needs a stairmaster, but I'm sure she has a nice personality.

I'm more than a little bummed that a moderator is participating wholesale.

Being bummed is allowed. Posting any further in this thread on the topic of judging pictures by their appearance is not. That being the case I hope you won't do it again. I also hope you cease to be bummed very soon.

As opposed to judging pictures by their personality?

That's right, we should be judging pictures by the content of their character.

You apprehend my point entirely. However let's have less talk of such matters philosophical and more opinions of the "hawt or nawt" variety, if you please, as that is the point of the thread.

She's a bit too naturalistic flower-child for my tastes. I'm a little afraid I'd find bugs in her hair. I like my gals to take showers and not have an ethical problem with soap.

When women sit down (and men), they tend to have a belly. I'm really skinny standing up 5'11 140 pounds. thats a BMI of 19. The chart I looked on the internet diden't go lower then that.

when I slouch, i get a significant wrinkle or fold right above my belly button. skinny people get bellys when they slouch.

I have been meaning to turn that fat into muscle though. Oh its crunch time.
