Dear god... What I'm saying is that the (sacrifice for) [i]focus[/i] or exploitation of the female physique usually is a means to detract from meaningful story/character elements, not to mention it's highly unrealistic.
"Protect those sternums and ta-tas, or maybe we need redesigned spacesuits that accentuate those female buns... decisions, decisions."
The question is why is it necessary? I've already stated the reasons why turning the volume down on sexuality makes for a more artful composition. Are you not basically saying it's because you can't go a few hours without being aroused [i]while[/i] you're being entertained otherwise?
As that video was meant to illustrate, the exploitation of the male form is viewed by most Europeans as perfectly acceptable. To many others, it is laughably ridiculous or uncomfortable and serves a mirroring function as that of its counterpart. Some people don't see the connection between the two at all and rather have it as they like it.
Yes, many characters in video games/cinema/television are brainy and curvy but when I play one of those games, watch one of those movies or shows I have the same reaction that I have to many male action hero characters. It makes me laugh.
Watch the new Chronicles of Riddick movie and if that doesn't prove my points then... then, well who gives a shit anyway? The best comparable antithesis I can think of right now that flew in the face of bullshit like that was Predators.

I think this, once funny debate, has taken a turn in the wrong direction. Allow me to explain sans explicatives: games are not real, they are an opportunity for everyone of us to escape for a few hours to live the life of a random hero. Because of this, there are no limitations to these worlds. Many storyline explanations could be made for including sexy females - future genetics to be one. To be honest it doesn't really matter. It's all just a fantasy. I never once said huge breasts were a must-have, I simply implied "sexy". In other words I don't want females to look like skinny, short males. As for the shape of female armor....REALLY? What do all future-based armors rely on in games these days? Some form of energy shield...physical contact if any is reserved for a single knife to the body or a rifle butt to the back of the head. The shape of armor in the future isn't hinged on barbaric club strikes to the chest. My desire for Destiny females? That we can avoid huge breasts, uni-boob armor, females that look like males. I'd like a shapely female that is clearly female in her armor, an attractive face when I remove her helmet, and if they include voice actresses-a female voice that sounds like a sexy female that could save the universe(ie-fem shepherd). Other then this, I believe this conversation has run its cordial course. It was fun while it lasted, see you in the game!

Throw on all the genes you want, you're not going to cheat physics.

[quote]In other words I don't want females to look like skinny, short males.[/quote]Can you actually provide a reason as to why that would be bad? I just don't get what the problem is with the difference not being remarkable. They don't need to be noticeably shorter... [quote]As for the shape of female armor....REALLY? What do all future-based armors rely on in games these days? Some form of energy shield...physical contact if any is reserved for a single knife to the body or a rifle butt to the back of the head.[/quote]Ablative armor in sci-fi usually requires a substantial power source. Given the bulkiness of Titan suits it doesn't seem like our comprehension of space magic has completely solved the power:weight ratio, on the other hand maybe the power generation aspect has been solved. Therefore, if you want female Hunters wearing lightly armored figure hugging suits, there's realistically a compromise in power generation unless they're wearing a backpack.

That we can avoid huge breasts, uni-boob armor, females that look like males.[/quote]I guess we're in agreement on the huge boob area, uni-boob armor would still allow you to differentiate between male and female... and why is a sexy voice necessary? Just like you said it's fantasy, so why does it need to "sexy." Just for reference, how would you describe Cortana's voice acting?[quote]Other then this, I believe this conversation has run its cordial course.[/quote]-blam!- you, asshole :). (that's not a period, it's a tear) Sorry if I offended you, I was just trying to offer context. Honestly I think the game will probably have elements of both perspectives. If you watched the video released tonight, though, I think that points to Destiny severely lacking in cleavage department. The Hunter doing the slidetackle in the last few seconds; I'd put money down that it's a female.

FUN TIME BACK ON PARTY PEEPS! <praises sexy female gods for allowing me to see through the guise of the newcomer despite his lengthy and unbelievably bungie-employee-esc retorts>

lol You got me, let my defenses down for just a moment and you see right through all of the years of practicing hiding who I am. Hey, they weren't retorts, I was trying to be nice. I was just a little dumbfounded to be honest.
