I think a realistic fantasy (e.g reality paired with emphasis on alternative possibilities, mass harness of magic, physical endurance, or different species) is drastically different from a hunchback H cup and players simply satisfying their perverted reality - there’s games for that.  I don’t know, I think it’s just kinda silly for people to defend a perverted position.  I mean it’s the same reason most of us don’t want explicit sex scenes or 10’ dicks.

Well checking the fact, that the overwhelming majority of players put boob slider at max, if there are one proves, that the "most of us" in you comment is wrong.

That's not only applies to breast though, if there are any other explicit slider, ppls trend to put it at max, so speaking as if you would be majority is pretty ****...

Personally I couldn't care less how ppls design their character, however I rather watch perverts roam around, than play with a game who bent their knee to the SJW thrash, small but louder minority...

Umm, I definitely think you’re wrong about the “majority”.  Maybe for your social groups they max the explicit sliders, but that is not the majority buddy, can I ask were you getting this statistic?

With ten feet of length you run into serious clipping issues on the character model.

Realism is not mandatory, but believability is. For something to be believable, it doesn't have to be real, just realistic. The moment something stops being believable it stops being immersive, and that's a big deal in any RPG.

It's easier for our brain to believe that some adventurer is very physically active and hence he has big muscles and low body fat(abs), it's not realistic or believable to think someone that exercises as much as an adventurer does; will have balloons for breasts or glutes.

Serena Williams is a large breasted bubble butted athlete. So it is possible and therefore should be allowed

She might be the best female to ever swing a racket.  Her proportions sure don’t seem to slow her down.

But there are people who don’t like her as an athlete, not because of a lack of skill or accomplishments, but her appearance.

...Which is why some of the comments in this thread disturb me a little.

I'm just so glad someone brought her up. Reading through some of these comments made me think of this. As a young black woman who regularly works out (Probably not like her. I dance) I feel like things like hips/ass/boobs and all around curviness has nothing to do with athletic abilities. Some people are just built like that.


Now I do understand that having just massive 'assets' on really small characters could be an issue, but I do think there could be limits that satisfy everyone cause let's face it, women(and even men) can be thicc and curvy-- it's not sexist to be curvy until someone comes and complains about it.

Asking them to reference your whole thread about a topic they have already weighed in on was not going to get a response either way. They talked about the boobie issue early on, made some statements, and then walked away from it like they should. Getting into a discussion with the "I think......" "I want....." and the "They better not do this or I will pitch a fit....." crowd is a non-starter. They have no way of winning it to make every single beta male that wants to show how "woke" they are be happy. They will release what they release, they may even read reasonable feedback on the issue and allow it to influence their decisions, or they may not. Dems da breakz.

If you're watching the stream, the channel normally get's opened when they're ready for questions.  Then it's just a matter of getting Steven to actually answer it.  You can post it multiple times, but avoid spamming or the channel will probably get put in slowmode.
