I for one am fine with Miriam being busty. I acknowledge why some people find it problematic and do not wish to downplay this. I also acknowledge my own likely semi-conscious biases as a "red-blooded" heteronormative man with no real stake in the matter other than the fact that I strive to be a feminist and/or feminist ally whenever possible and try to support those who express concerns over certain things in the game industry. That said, it's not like it's pornographic or so absurd so as to fall under DOA territory. I've seen ladies in reality shaped completely naturally almost exactly like Miriam. Furthermore, I have always felt there are times when the more attention you give something relatively innocuous, the more damaging power you give it (I say this as a disabled man and rights advocate who frequently converses with colleagues about the issues surrounding "non-person first language). Besides, who's to say there aren't going to be some beefcake enemies somewhere or that one of the other PCs won't have some eye candy for the ladies and/or some of the fellas? Go to it, I say! Equal opportunity. Sidenote: I do hope at least one PC is male. I think having three PCs all the same gender would be disappointing either way. You said beefcake. Zangetsu I have been summoned! But yes, show off some your dudes for us, staff! You always were good about the pretty boys in Castlevania. (Sorry for having fangirl mode activated and contributing little to the death of this thread...)

Beefcakes are fine. My problem is what I consider attractive men is not what women consider attractive men. (Oh Zangief. . . when will the ladies love you?)

The following facts might already have been adressed, but in real life it's not very comfortable to have big boobs and run/jump etc... just imagine the stress on Miriams back! With this in mind, I'd prefer for her to have smaller boobies. Ok.

I don't want realism here in any form so it's all fine.
Also she may not even been a fighter before being cursed.

I'm fat and I have a demanding job that involves lots of physical labour. I don't look great doing it, but I can still do it. Breasts of any size have nothing to do with fighting or being athletic.

Breasts of any size have nothing to do with fighting or being athletic.Especially since Miriam already looks like she has a well-built body. She's got the musculature to support breasts of that size, of that I'm sure. (Though I think someone else has said this before. I can't remember who.)

She is? Huh, I must be blind because I didn't notice a thing. I was more focused on the crystals on her body than anything else. It doesn't really matter though, her body is going to be too small in the game to notice. I don't even think you would be able to notice it on the cover of the game either. That is just a prediction though.
Also, the guy above me, has a really crappy attitude.

ITS A TIT GET OVER IT Nobody appears to be having a fit but you Remember a guy on the Kickstarter comments named SOTN4EVA? That's Atr1c0n. He can rub people the wrong way. I think he likes that kind of attention. What he has said above has rustled some feathers with minimal effort. Calling him out for having a crappy attitude and saying he is throwing a fit could be considered personal insults and thus a violation of the rules. His post could be taken as a general indirect insult to unnamed people, which isn't really breaking any written rule. This kind of stuff is hard for me to moderate. What I would like to see is less negative posts. No warnings are necessary or anything. I'm just trying to promote a positive atmosphere. This whole thread is a polarizing topic that can easily rustle up tension, and I wish it would quietly sink to the bottom of the board. However, people are free to express their opinions and feelings on this topic. Let's just refrain from jumping each other's cases.

Understood. I'm not arguing against your stance or anything, just saying I had no intention of pressing further, and felt what I did was 'safe' given I felt directly mocking the community is more blatant than me stating that someone _appears_ to be having a fit (and I wasn't even the one bringing up fits to begin with to boot). It's a cop out yeah but a stronger defense than arct's position IMO. Not that I will argue if you disagree, just trying to convey there was no jimmies being rustled or tempers being lost, so no worries about that.

Just going to say that the "it's okay to insult people as long as you aren't direct about it" kind of policy is what leads to passive aggressive semi-hostile communities like The Escapist. I much prefer the rule of Wheaton's Law.
