The game created 2 decades ago
back then feminism wasn’t that big

Props to using a video with an avatar that has a scantily clad woman in it haha.
I’m standing for goldshire!
I’m not sure that will help you…
Err, you sure about that, it was massive in the 80’s and 90’s, and since then?
Errr…that is…not the sort of thing people usually admit to! 
It isn’t really Cancel Culture anyway, for that to be so, people would have to have a clear definition as to what the term means, which currently they do not.
I can’t see them removing the skimpy armour sets. I mean as someone who wears armour a fair bit, I find the Skimpy armour ridiculously silly, it wouldn’t work, but I don’t see them doing that. They got rid of a couple of pixelated nudes and renamed a couple of achievements, but they did a massive swing and a miss with that. The ‘Gigantique’ one is a prime example. I’m a man of the world, and not once did I associate that with anything smutty in the slightest, if you google it, nothing comes up, but I am told it is because of the word ‘Sack’ and that it is slang for a genitalia part of the male anatomy, I’d say which but a) I’m sure you can guess which part, and b) Americans are afraid of the anatomically correct word for it, as well as it’s contents, which is in itself rather pathetic.
Which is damned ridiculous. Santa Claus has a sack. It’s full of toys. A Sack is simply a bag. If they want to remove ‘Sack’ because of it’s connotation, they should also remove ‘Bag’ for the same reason, both being part of a slang English term for the same thing.
I was more annoyed that they had an NPC who sells it named after a vacuous simpleton famous for a sex video and having a rich dad, with no actual notable qualities of her own…
There is however, no evidence that they are getting rid of sexy transmogs, so people can calm down…
yea but it was not relevant back then, more like a cult or a gang
Ah, that’s more a Social Media thing. It was still quite publicised, TV often had Germaine Greer on TV, and with the rise of Alternative Comedy, people like Jo Brand (Who has actually gotten mellower and funnier with old age, and dropping the men-hating schtick that propelled her to fame).
Social Media makes everything more visible, it’s the downside to go with it’s upsides…
for me its the dry reality, but i don’t mind if my future son is more then a carpet for woman
Hmmmn, not really, it really took off in the sixties and seventies, became mainstream in the nineties, and since methods of communication became available to most of us just -seems- to have progressed, We’re more aware of it, because of media. It’s like those awful people who pray on children sexually, listen to the news and you’d think they were on the rise, whereas actually the opposite is true, it happens a lot less now, than in the early 1900’s for example. Still atrocious obviously, and there is a special place for people like that (end of a noose in my opinion) but it is not a modern phenomenon.
There’s also a lot of misinformation about Feminism, for a start, everyone has heard about women burning bra’s in protests right?
Except it never actually happened.
Just didn’t happen. There was One, -One- incident in which some women threw their bra’s into a trash can labelled a ‘freedom trash can’. yet feminists were labelled ‘bra-burners’ for decades.
It simply didn’t happen.
Feminism isn’t about promoting women above men in any case, it is about parity of treatment, neither being above the other.
It is still kind of relevant because you still get a situation, pretty widespread, where women get paid less than their male counterparts who do the same job. Which is, well, just sexism. If they got equal wages and parity of treatment, then Feminism would quickly vanish, not being necessary. That’s not to say that TERF’s are OK, or some extreme elements, but every organisation has it’s nutters like Valerie Solanas.

Please do, so everyone can see how dumb some of you are. You’ve got to be extremely ignorant, moronic and utterly clueless to draw that comparison.
I find it very offensive how you use the word womens.
You do realize single = woman and multiple = women, right? What does womens mean? Multiple multiple? Very offensive and sounds like cancel culture.
Shame on you!
They need to do a clean up within the company not the game. These changes make it look like the players are the issue…
And a vast majority of those artists were men, in a society dominated by male ideas of beauty. The copious paintings of naked women over time isn’t the “celebration of feminism” many think it is, it’s a rather stark reminder that at the time, the value of women was placed on their form and biological functions rather than anything else.
Just look at painting of women from antiquity, they’re either naked or close to, or representing some other stereotype of being a woman, principally be an object to admire the physicality of or be acted upon by men.
So no, preserving the “rich historical heritage” of such paintings isn’t quite the feminist victory one might think it is, not when you understand the context of these pictures, which would often have women posing naked for these men and not being paid for the act at all, they were being treated as an object in the same manner a vase would be.
Feminism is more nuanced than “the right of women to be naked” and especially so when the nakedness in question is not a free action of a woman but rather the depiction of a woman created by a man. The contexts are very different.
It’s like the difference in use of the N word. Right? When individuals self identify with the word along racial grounds, that is vastly different to someone writing an article calling black people this word. You have to take into context the creator of the term and depiction.
And in this case, the depictions were created by male developers in a game that has (historically) largely pandered to stereotypical male fantasies. That should tell anyone that the context of these pictures was probably not going to be “as celebrations of the power of women and the sheer power of the female form” as opposed to “old school painting had naked women in it right? Let’s just do that.”

You know why those men painting women? Because of they passion to them. I loved Rubens paiting ge show all kind of women body and I think it is beautiful. I artist friends who draw what they love often those are nude or semi-nude arts.
