[quote]Solution? Add images of that which is awesome outside...not as a replacement but as a placebo for an addict who has witnessed "awesome" and can't wait for his next adventure outside to experience it again.[/quote]Men who have witnessed "awesome" and the destitute realm and dark, horrid effects of SHD (stupid hottie disorder) know that chicks who have brains are where it's at. Blank-minded pin-ups are a -blam!-ing waste of time. I'm sorry to conflict with you, but seriously, that's your argument for justifying this? That's like saying you prefer romance drivel to great american classics because there isn't enough sex appeal. [quote]In this downtime, shall we watch a manly female or a sexy female? Any man that has experienced the "awesome" found outside his door waists no time turning up the "sexy heroine volume".[/quote]It's not so much the transposition of genders, it's the superficial nature of saying "hmm, ah, bigger boobs- bigger asses! [i]That's[/i] what will make [whatever] great." Anyway, last time I checked, most female olympians and astrophysicists aren't all buxom and extremely curvy. The female form doesn't need to be heavily exaggerated to be feminine. And the female mind isn't something that needs to be housed within a pinhead or covered up by a less "manly" body to be attractive. So what I'm saying is that art aiming to be progressive/meaningful should focus on equality and focus on the intellectual level by equalizing male and female characters. I get sexuality, everyone loves it, but it shouldn't really be sacrificed for or the core focus and it's a good thing when it's removed to explore character and story. see: Halo 3: ODST. Therefore, in my opinion, even in a video game none of that is important to me. I won't care if it turns out other than exactly what suits me, but I'll definitely wonder about it. <prays to the Grand UFT you don't think I'm arguing just for the sake of arguing>
