I do find it curious that treating female avatars the same as male is seen as being spineless and giving in to "whiners". It's simple equal treatment.



Yes it is Irrelevant. i am very sorry, that I decided to inform the developers that i didn't notice this visual impact that bothers some people to a high degree...

It's irrelevant because the fact that you didn't notice it doesn't mean that others didn't. I notice that you don't go to every thread with bugs and list all the ones you, personally, haven't experienced.

equal treating so, do you want the developers to have a equal art team?

I'm not actually sure what this means.

I do think you should realise that artist many a far has great inspiration in the human anatomic.
And by that many artists have their own idea of beautiful

Alright, but that's also irrelevant here. The harm caused by slightly modifying one character model is presumably less than the breaking of the suspension of disbelief and (likely unintentional) fostering of sexism in the games industry.

if some art actually offends people. that is a good way to say that it has its own soul. art is meant to offend and tear down people it is meant to be provoking and it can never be given a equal ground.

I disagree. Art can do all those things, but it is not required to. Further, the fact that something is provocative or offensive does not make it art in-and-of itself.

of course you can focus group many people in the world and make a awesomely bland art piece and make it incredibly bland. But i hope you realise that by doing that the result is distateful and blandness.

This is a forum for commentary, criticism, and feedback. If Larian didn't want those then they wouldn't have this forum. I, again, note that you aren't worked up about other bugs. Me, I find bugs annoying, so by your definition they may well be "art", yet no one is up in arms about how people talking about bugs and asking them to be fixed is ruining the game.

nothing human made is done on a equal basis, Those so called Feminists like to think they are fighting for equal rights the reality is that they are trying to shift the power. they are not fighting for the equal rights they are fighting for their own power, which admittedly has been quite dominant by males. However I find it really fascinating that people are expecting artists and developers to treat subjects on a equal basic, because those developers and artists are also human beings with their own thoughts and ideas.

A tiny, tiny, minority of people who call themselves "feminists" are, in fact, misandrysts, yes, but most aren't. I believe that true equality is both possible and desirable.

Further, you're making the logical fallacy known as an "appeal to nature". Just because humans are naturally biased does not mean that that bias is a good thing or that we should not work to overcome it.

"Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?"
"You must be, or you wouldn't have come here."
