I bet alot of guys desecrated them suga walls.

Do we really need this? No we don't.

lol

I wonder what John Berger would say about this art?

So I know these are paintings but... You're probably going to get banned for this. So.... might wanna delete this before the mods see it.

There's a difference between a hyper-sexualized art, and natural female shapes. Come on man.

However, the males in the game are also hyper-sexualized, so I don't see what's the big deal.

It's dumb, but it's not really biased.

yep

Pornography in the old days sure were classy. ;)

Some lovely art--and a fun idea for a post--but this could still potentially get people fired from their workplace, so I still flagged the thread. You should at LEAST add some spoiler tags, and put "NSFW" in the title.

@mrfluke: I'm gonna be super pissed if that happens. Goddamn puritan motherfuckers. Blowing heads to pieces? That's okay. A naked body?! Ban! Ban everyone!

@twolines: While I agree with you them is the rules and its not our website and you agree to the house rules when you enter the club house.

"I'm an idiot who is only capable of misunderstanding things and I act out like this to make myself feel like less of an idiot."

I disagree. Cave people were some nasty motherfuckers.

I don't see how it's against the rules. It's not pornography and no genitalia are actually painted. Until a mod comments I will assume classical art is allowed.

I'll add "NSFW" to the title, though it would take a stupid employer indeed to be upset because an employee is looking at paintings.

@twolines: thems the rules.

btw i agree with you that the whole outrage over the art in dragons crown is incredibly stupid

I can't watch that movie anymore because that same guy also plays Professor Lupin. Fucks with my head.

@demoskinos: I kind of hope he does get banned.

Yeah, how about some more threads about this, guys? Keep 'em coming.

@demoskinos: Sigh. True.

@icemael: You realize you're not actually making a point, right?

Changes in blog titles apparently aren't reflected on the forums so I just added a spoiler tag and a warning in the post itself instead.

People like the OP remind me of like those derpy conspiracy theorists who cling to their version of reality because they're both too stupid to understand the real world and too arrogant to admit it.

This is the most childish thing I have ever seen, dude.

I like turtles.

wait really? That's weird.

also OP this is exactly the topic I expected from you so... good job? keep on white knighting (lol) dragon's crown I guess.

Wait a minute, that's not true at all.

The difference being between the two...?

Dragon's Crown fans just can't get over this, huh?

@animasta: Way to take the low road.

listen, there is no discussing shit with this guy. If you want to discuss this shit with me, fine, but there is no discussion here because I know from experience.

Also this is just a trolling "WELL ANCIENT ROMANS SCULPTED NAKED LADIES SO CHECK MAKE FEMTARDS" or whatever.

I thought maybe he was onto something but IMDB says otherwise.

This thread is great and it's even greater because most of you think he is being serious.

One is socially acceptable (and social acceptability, of course, is what the forum rules are based on -- hence, for example, why certain words are banned regardless of the context in which they're used). I can admire a classical painting with nudity pretty much wherever I please and no one will mind, but browsing a porn site, even if it was just erotic non-nude pictures, would be frowned upon most everywhere public.

@animasta: ^^

What that guy said

Anyone who thinks feminist game writers criticisms are summed up by "female nudity=sexism" is completely missing their point. Like, entirely.

Good one. What a deft examination of this issue. Glad people like you have access to internet.

@animasta: Do you think we can turn this thread into something productive with some casual talk?

@animasta: If that's what you think, why respond?

I am not above making a shitty post in a shitty topic!

I want to get more into this mystery of the actor of professor Quirrell personally... you know, something important.

Why?

The problem is subjectivity. I don't want you to get banned for this or anything, but workplaces--at least in the US--do not make a distinction between art and pornography. It's really hard to argue the point where one ends and another begins, so the safest thing to do is ban it all from the workplace, which is what most workplaces do.

Really? I was sure that was the same guy.

@video_game_king: Lots of reasons, but the gist of it: classical art is of great cultural and historical importance and governments sponsor its preservation, restoration and public display in museums where schoolchildren go on field trips.

@icemael:

How circular.

This guy: does not equal this guy:

But nekkid ladies equals awesome. That is all.

Depends on what kind of feminist they are. For example Anita Sarkeesian is a sex negative feminist and she would exactly think that.

@joshwent: they do look really similar though!

(also I love that apparently it's the fact that they're naked is the only problem or is even a problem)

@darji: I don't think that's very true.

I have no idea what's up with Anita Sarkeesian (I've never watched any of her videos), but sometimes feminists can be silly, too. And, if that is in fact what she thinks she's not very good at feminism. Nudity=/=sex or sexualization. Nudity can serve a purpose. It's the absence of any purpose other than "check out this girl's tits" that can be offensive to sex negative feminists or whatev which I think is completely valid.

It sounds weird, but I like that we can have these kind of conversations about vidya games now. It's like video games are growing up.
