Oddly, that mostly isn't, I think. There's the Minoan-esque topless/fertility thing in Esrolia, of course (and Ernaldan stylings that sometimes follow the Esrolian model elsewhere). Sedenya is sometimes shown nude (or scantily-garbed). And Uleria, obviously. Mostly(*) the rest of Gloranthan art notably DOESN'T pursue "gratuitous female nudity." And for Esrolia, Ulerians, and Sedenya, it seems to me not actually "gratuitous." (*) e.g. there's the cover of Foes, and a few other pieces. But they stand out as unusual.

svensson Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 2 hours ago, Godlearner said: I am all for Gratuitous nudity of all types. I'm of two minds about it. On the one hand, the grown up in me doesn't see anything wrong with nudity in the contexts that RGQ has been showing it... Usually in religious observances, usually with height/weight appropriate women, usually having to do with fertility and motherhood. And those depictions are appropriate for the Bronze Age theme of the game. And God knows it's an improvement over bimbo-wear of the past. On the other, I'm trying to teach my 12 year old grand-niece that she doesn't have to be pretty to succeed, that she doesn't have to use her gender/sexuality to manipulate people, and that she is a wonderful whole person, not just an appearance. RQG has done a pretty good job, but not a great job, at portraying women as full participants in society... equal to men in every single way... but the tropes are still there. Boob armor, for example. It's there because it's expected to be there. But I've known women in the SCA who fought with 'boob plate' of stainless steel and EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. of them said it was a huge mistake. Somebody swatting you upside the mammaries hurts like all get out. So not only does the art over-sexualize the female warrior, it's tactically wrong as well! I'm not trying to be prudish or wag my finger at anyone here. If my table was full of adult women, this would be less of an issue. But we, all of us, are trying to make RQ good for everyone, from tween to grognard, and I honestly think this needs to be looked at. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone in this thread has ever said anyone should do anything other than that...? 🧐 It's just some grognards listing some of the "triggers" that have set off flamewars (both recent and ancient). 🙄 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
