    Physical appearance is defined as: What you see when you look at someone.

    That includes eye color, hair color, skin tone, height, apparent weight, the size of a woman's breasts, and the clothes you are wearing.

    Unless you walk around naked all the time, the clothes you have on are part of what people see when they look at you, therefore they are part of your physical appearance.

    Saying that it is okay to make assumptions about people based on the clothes they wear, but it is not okay to make assumptions about them based on, in this instance, the size of a woman's breasts is being hypocritical, because in both cases you are making those assumptions based on their physical appearance.

    If one is okay, they both have to be because they are the same thing. Conversely, if one is NOT okay, then neither is, for the same reason. You can't say one is okay and the other isn't.
    You can choose what types of clothes you wear - you can't choose what size your chest is.

    Yes - I'm the little black, white and blonde thing near the bottom and slightly left of center

    It needed to be different from the Primal Hamidon, otherwise it wouldn't have made any sense why it was way more of a threat than our one is.
    The key points are still the same - Hamidon Pasalima turns into a monster and tries to "clean up" the world, but is defeated and contained - the shape he turns into isn't really that important - it just needs to be big and threatening.
  4. I might borrow number 1 and 3 until she's old enough.
  5. Your thread title means "why are you posting, devs?"
  6. This is the poster I based my picture on:

    The Praetorian one has them, as well as claws, according to Tyrant's bio on the GR website.

    That's where your problem is - you're trying to become a hero by killing people, which won't work - you need to defeat them.

  10. It might be the Praetorian Sally, which is invincible
  11. Got mewhat? A Hamidon costume?

    Not at all

    But it's thought of as a negative thing.

    That makes no sense AT ALL.

    The clothes you are wearing is one of the main things that determines your physical appearance.

    You told me that everyone should assume you are one of the good guys because of your clothing, which is a factor in your physical appearance.

    That would be associating someone's morality with their physical appearance, no two ways about it.

    I also note that you did not deny saying that. Too late to try denying it now, since responding to my post the way you did is as good as an admission.

    Then you come in this thread and say it is offensive to make assumptions about someone's morality based on their physical appearance.
    Deciding someone is a villain by the way they dress is not the same thing as deciding someone's evil because of their physical apperance at all.

    People can choose what types of clothes they wear - but they can't choose how tall or short they are, or what color their eyes are, or what shape their nose is, or what size their breasts are, or how broad their shoulders are, or what texture their skin is, and so on.

    The name should give a clue
  18. There are no Mission Architect buidings in Praetoria - Tyrant probably disapproves of them - along with almost everything else
    If you have a Praetorian avatar, you'll need to wait until you're level 20 to leave Praetoria and got to Paragon City or the Rogue Isles if you want to use the Mission Architect.

    And welcome to the game and the forum

    If that's not a textbook case of "associating physical appearance with morality", I don't know what is.
    How you dress is not the same thing as how you look.

    Too look good at what you do and to have fun doing it.
    Only a Villain would think that way

    On a side note, there are no genetics in a video game.
    I'm reading it as someone saying that if they wanted to make a "slutty" avatar, they'd use their physical appearance to show their morality.
  22. We should do some kind of tribute on the 24th - like go to Peregrine Island, pull a few Devouring Earth GMs to the trainer, and then show off our Castle-created powers

    It's no different than saying I would put big muscles on an American-football player character. I'm not saying that everybody with big muscles is a football player, or even that every football player has big muscles. That's just what my preference would be. You don't have to agree with it. In a thread made specifically about character appearances, you'd think people would be more understanding when it comes to fictional creativity.
    That's not the same thing at all - a football player is muscular because they train a lot - and it has nothing to do with morlaity either.
    Saying that big breasts = "slutty" is linking morality to genetics - the size of our breasts is decided before we're even born.
    Thinking that morality and geneitcs have anything to do with each other is a very old fashioned mindset.
