@DarthDavy: If you're not interested in discussion on the topic that Larian itself asked about, why bother joining it at all?
Another major issue you have is the fallacious assumption that because one character in one game is not heavily clothed somehow means men are on the same grounds as women when it comes to gaming. That's just ridiculous to think a single example represents a huge multitude.
I could post many pictures where women are virtually naked and men are fully armored in the same gear. That doesn't mean all games are sexist/sexualizing either.
"Fuck this discussion" is right. You can't even begin to discuss or argue by the looks of it.
To put it briefly, let the people who actually care and can argue reasonably on the matter do so, and see yourself out if all you can do is throw out bullshit arguments and an insult to all those who do care about this subject.
You're right. Why did I post in the first place?
Oh right, because I find it lame this discussion is still going on for a Larian game. There are clearly more sexist games out there where all of you social reformers can have a blast (Tera, that kingdom under fire game, mods for skyrim, oh think about those mods for skyrim,...).
Yes, there is sexism in games. And a lot of it. Does Larian deserves this crusade? No, I don't think so.
And my opinion on the matter is that the artwork of the armor bikini should have stayed where it was and not changed. I really think Swen made a wrong choice of asking his artist to change the artwork. It only fuelled this discussion.
You know why this discussion is worthless. It's because you think are right of your opinion and I think I am right on my opinion. It's like having a discussion with a vegetarian to eat meat! It's useless. It's a choice, it's a point of view.
And that's why I think the armored bikini should have stayed where it was. It was the artist's choice, the artist's opinion in the first place. But changing it brought this all to this.
Now it's not about the armor bikini anymore. It's now about the fact they changed the armor bikini the front runners who were against the armor bikini think they are in their right mind to get all the sexism out of games, which is ridicolous because D:OS wasn't sexist in the first place! Certainly not comparing to a lot of other games out there.
