Most of us can see boobs without associating it with private matters. therefore to us boobs are just boobs…. wonderful wonderful boobs.

The problem with the Moose is that they get so P.Oed about having to ferry our tcp/ip packets back and forth that they turn on us.

But then I got thinking…

For years, it bothered me that my American neighbours had such a surplus of violence in their culture.
I believe there is something fundamentally flawed with a society that allows people to see gratuitous violence and brutality, but considers is a heinous crime to see a natural body part.

In the U.S. you have the right to bear arms, here in Canada, we have the right to bare breasts.

Where would you rather live?

Peace.

See I’m not big on seeing nudity everywhere, I think some things are personal. I don’t necessarily disagree with a certain amount of it but there’s no need to be over the top about it (like that ad you mentioned).

However I honestly don’t think boobs are that big a deal especially in an M rated game. While it doesn’t need to be glorified, and it’s silly for people to run around topless, it should be there depending on the sort of game. For example in GTA games why can I get a stripper to dance for me after hours of slaughtering innocent bystanders but the stripper isn’t even topless? Urk…

Thanks

I was going to respond to john doe, but all has been addressed. Everyone’s obviously entitled to their beliefs and stuff, but I can’t see why anyone who would object to it would even buy the game. Would they go to a nudist beach and complain that they had no swimsuits on, but that they went there cos they enjoyed beach volleyball? Strange indeed.

I still remember one poster saying something like, “Well, violence is ok because it’s in the Bible.” Uhhh what??

You have actually proven my point that we, as crazy Americans, have no problems with the violence and gore as long as a nipple or wang doesn’t slip out. I find nudity to be a very natural part of life. I see myself naked when I get out of the shower and I see my son’s wiener when I change his diaper. I don’t think either of those things are sinful, and I don’t think having sex with my wife is sinful either. I don’t know what kind of religious or moral standard you are following that makes it okay in your eyes to chop off peoples’ heads but not okay to show some boobs.

Another thing which people fail to take into account, for some reason, is that we are talking about Conan. It’s fucking CONAN!!! If you, or any of the uptight pricks that bitched at me in the game, knew anything about the Conan universe, you would know that nudity is very common and expected. FunCom stayed true to the lore of Conan when they decided to allow nudity. Would you go play a Playboy videogame and then complain that there are boobs in it? It’s just as ridiculous.

Furthermore, America was not founded on good Christian morals, it was actually founded by the Puritans, a bunch of religious wackos that were actually banished from their home countries in Europe for being so fucked up. It’s their principles, that violence is okay and sex and nudity are sinful, that America continues to adhere to, and quite frankly I find it archaic and disturbing.

The bottom line here is that you shouldn’t play a game that features boobs in it if you don’t like boobs, and more importantly, you shouldn’t attack people that are enjoying said boobs because those boobs are there for a reason that you seem unable to grasp. I honestly feel sorry for you.

Right, let’s not. You shouldn’t have brought it up in the first place.

“People dont feel comfortable naked. because in reality there is a certain “Shame” involved. Once again, think hard and long “WHY”. ”

Not all people feel the same way. It varies per person. Useless argument.

This seems to fit the theme of the game so.. whoever called you a dumbass is… a dumbass. I’m glad you didn’t hide his name, I agree, fuck that guy.

What’s lucid is that the “shame” you talk about is not created from a God, but from society itself…in this case American society – a society built on Christian values (sorry not built, since it started out as completely a-religious…this came much later) and influencing society by making them feel shameful about their private parts. The “sin” is not inherent…it’s embedded into us in our upbringing.

“its odd that playing a Naked character would satisfy you at all. I think most can agree, its much sexier in-general with clothing on that “HINTS” at things then to just start at a straight up naked woman.”

Why Dan has to be thinking about “Sex” to have a naked female character is also worrying – another sign that to some Westerners “nakedness = sex”.

Why male players don’t want to be a female is simply because this has been their social upbringing – I must be manly, I must like action man, I must think guns are cool, I must have big muscles, I mustn’t have emotions or be feminine.

Moreover, I expect even female players would be male players so as to not be picked on…”Wow you’re a girl, give me your number” etc.

Yes, running around naked in a game might look ridiculous, but it looks ridiculous because it’s uncommon. If you lived in Europe, I doubt it would be as shocking or a “sin”…we have breasts in our daytime ads.

People dont feel comfortable naked. because in reality there is a certain “Shame” involved. Once again, think hard and long “WHY”.

On a more Game-centric point, it really just takes the “realness” of the game out. It makes it like 1 person is ruining the overall “experience” that this game offers. Even If your not being annoying, its is really just “dis-tasteful” and its odd that playing a Naked character would satisfy you at all. I think most can agree, its much sexier in-general with clothing on that “HINTS” at things then to just start at a straight up naked woman. True its a game, but to me if i choose to make a female character I want her to be Hot and bad ass. Not a straight up Nudist..

Well its proably a bit too much of a rant but i attempted to get my points across. :-P Cheers
