This thread is a blatant doublestandard.

What about the amazingly muscley male warriors?

What kind of image are we sending to our children?

That you're not a man unless you're ripped like Conan?

Shame on you all. So focused on two bags of fat that you miss the HUGE problem that is a muscle man.

I believe the game has an ESRB rating of Teen. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it does. Sex sells. It's a fact of life. Particularly when you target the 18-34 demographic, and most specifically the males. Honestly kids shouldn't be playing this game but that's not ANet's fault that's the parent's fault. If a parent thinks breasts are offensive then they shouldn't let their child play a game in which there are female characters that can be rendered scantily clad. It's that simple. ANet is not the player's mommy and daddy. Parenting is not the responsibility of corporations. I'm so sick of people bringing the kid factor into this. If you let your little darling 9 year old play a game rated teen then you better expect there to be mature content in it and you best not complain about it. Breasts exist. Ooooh I said breasts instead of features. They do exist though and it's not like it's full frontal nudity. Still I think if you have a legitimate beef with the breasts in thie game you're probably being a bit too prudish or you're like 6 and giggling while you look at boobies.

its exactly like homosexuals you see kissing in the hallway at school...you won't see it unless your looking for it.

This is CNN News!

Scientists today discovered that, despite having been around for -at least- two millenia, people still amazed to find that, yes--

BREASTS EXIST.

And tonight, after the Sports Review, we've dedicated the rest of our show to a segment we've titled:

GET OVER IT.

Back to John with the weather!

Hmmm.. I'm not really sure where you're from, but on average, women around here are only a tad smaller. Certainly bigger than the Assassin.

Hey, Winds of Blood, like Ghibli said, you see a lot of Conan sized men when you go to the supermaket?

Count to Potato · Apr 28, 2006, 03:34 PM // 15:34

I realixed that in Fpe, kept looking at ritualist mostly doing their dances and with CE looks even better

That's the best photoshop I've seen in weeks.

And it's not because of how it looks.

But because of what it's composed of.

Brilliant.

ComradeMaximus · Apr 28, 2006, 04:43 PM // 16:43

I'm dissapointed in the fact that the original poster failed to mention the male aspect as someone else has noted. A common and rediculous double standard in North American culture, if you wanna get rid of the big breasts then you have to give the same analysis and treatment to the male characters.

I also find it ludicrous that someone would find breasts more offensive than someone plunging his sword into another persons flesh. Please get rid of the puritan politics, k thanks.

You did? Well, then you would have noticed those two straps of leather holding her breasts are barely able to do their job.

ROFL! That made me laugh

Back to the kids in the game comment. I just this very instant got my copy of factions and what do you know at the bottom of the box it says this.

There ya go. Bugger the kids they shouldn't be on there anyway and are apparently violating Arena Net rules by doing so.

.. there was this commercial on MTV..

You see a mother and a son sitting on a couch, watching the tele. You can't see what's on the tele, though. Only that they're watching it. As they do so, you can hear it--you hear gunfire, explosion, screaming, fighting, some man telling a woman to get down, et cetera..

.. and when it's all over, the man and the woman begin to kiss--and this is when the woman decides to cover the eyes of her child.

I think it's hilarious.

It is true that cultural North America is completely ass-backwards a good deal of the time, though.

Actually according to ANet you should stop playing. According to them you can't even transfer ownership of the account. It's not even a suggestion, like not apropriate for children under 13. It flat out says " Children under the age of 13 are not permitted to play."
