The detail on that witch outfit is fantastic. Tried to make a classic, evil, seductress type look with it (others said it looked it...using the Witch Lace, and alot of the skull & spines options), was actually quite proud of it, untill someone blasted "blah blah streetwalker blah blah blah" int hew tailor in SC (kinda a shapeshifter with multiple personalities).
I got rid of the outfit :/
Problem with the top, is I find it hard to match it with a different bottom.

There's a reason for that. Classic, scary, ugly, warted witches with big noses and pointy chins and who look like they're 500 years old are... Well, ugly and not very cool. Certainly not something I'd like to play as, or play against. Bad guys need to be cool, too.

Reminds me of an episode of Bewitched.
Darren tries a sexy-witch campaign, and gets put in the doghouse because he is forced to redo it with an old-hag witch.
Samantha then decided to round up some other witches and have a protest... over the bed of Darren's boss at about midnight-2am.

So you made a "look at me" thread to tell us that stereotypes aren't always true?
Wow, I'm so shocked. I put whatever costumes I want on my characters and I think that my personality influences what costume items I pick, not my gender...
Good job skipping the entire thread.

The fun thing is that my main toon is "naked, but she replaced all her skin, and the rest of her body as well, with robot stuffs.
Better yet, all her other costumes are just clothes put on that, and when I use the evil laugh /cc, it looks like her clothes are burning away. I only realised that in hindsight, funnily enough.
Also fun is going to the Pocket D to call some guy-toons creepy stalkers only to have them respond omg nobody would shaq you. Showing skin? Bah, my cranium is visible! Men just don't know how to appreciate a woman with brains to show off.

Which proves nothing. Show me other PRIMATES who mate face-to-face. And even then that doesn't really prove anything about humans, but it'd give you a leg to stand on.
This idea that human sexual dimorphism of physical characteristics contributing to sexual signaling for mating behaviors is based entirely on culture and not at all physical attributes is pop-psychobabble at it's worst.
People are people the world over, culture be damned, and there's a reason why there are pronounced physical differences between men and women. There is no human culture on the planet where the men, as a culture, simply DO NOT EVEN NOTICE the female form. It doesn't exist.
I read an article recently in Science News about how the brain is wired to find masculine male faces and feminine female faces more attractive then non-masculine/feminine faces (respectively). This preference is notable in both genders, towards both genders.
Human beings are simply put, big dumb apes. They respond to big dumb ape signals, be it through overt lust or gentle admiration. Female breasts are one (of many) of those big dumb ape signals, as undignified as that may make some people feel.
It's when you introduce these big fat over-analyzing forebrains of ours that you run into trouble. The fact that our big fat overanalyzing forebrains can screw up the underlying programming doesn't mean that things didn't evolve that way for a reason... a reason that still works most of the time the world over.

The point of your post was lost on me. The point of mine was that the theory that breasts are an evolutionary replacement of the butt is hogwash. Your point appears to be the same, so what are we arguing about?

You obviously stopped reading where I mentioned the forebrain thing.
And do not understand the word "culture".
Homosexuality is not imparted via culture (there's no "gay tradition" that teaches men to find women unattractive). Suggesting that it is would imply that homosexuality is a matter of learned preference. I don't think you meant to imply that.

My point is that the breasts are for sexual signaling, as they do not need to be that size to accomodate infant feeding outside of pregnancy (see, for example, virtually every other mammal on the planet).
Most primates use the buttocks as sexual signaling and sexual attraction (as, in fact, so do humans of both genders).
Are the breasts "replacements" for the buttocks? No, at best they're a supplement, sexually speaking. But they serve much the same purpose in humans as do buttocks in other primates (including humans), by providing a sexual signal.
For the breasts to be a REPLACEMENT for the buttocks, there'd have to be some evidence that human mating is more successful face-to-face than in other positions, and as far as I know no such evidence exists. But to suggest that the breasts do not serve as a sexual signaling mechanism in the human animal is frankly wrong.

The human female's genitalia, as well as the human male's, are designed in such a manner that face-to-face coupling is definitely more successful than other positions (actually, face-to-face isn't exactly specific enough, but we're so close to thread deletion at this point). The pelvic region is actually one of the things that significantly differentiate us from other primates and is one of the key features that help us identify ancestral forms. We've been really treading the border of forum acceptability so I'm trying to avoid very specific details.
No one is saying that chests aren't a secondary sexual characteristic but it's really arguable that any signaling we use them for is necessarily comparable to how primates signal off the rear-end region. Many women don't have breasts to speak of, and there's no evidence they're actively selected against. Pubic hair and underarm hair would be a better comparison, but because of clothing, for most of us that isn't what we use. Which is, again, cultural. So is "bigger is better." It's not pop-psychological babble.

And you do not recognize attempts at humor for what they are - tongue in cheek statements. Reread both posts and you'll see a pattern:
Statement #1: Trivia
Statement #2: Humor
Therefore, it is highly likely that the poster may not subscribe to the statements he was poking fun at. I'm not interested debating a declamatory post like yours, for obvious reasons. I hope you find someone else to.
If you need the obvious reasons explained to you, I have no hope for human intuition.
edit: Might as well state the obvious.
-Replying to an overly aggressive post filled with declamatory statements is rarely productive, regardless of the veracity of said statements. No, I'm not interested in debating their veracity, nor am I questioning them.
-When having a conversation, one does not discuss internal combustion when one wants to discuss whether pop tarts can truly catch on fire. Hence, the confused smiley.
-While lighthearted discussions on touchy matters may avoid moderation, an argument over any of the points addressed above would guarantee it, such as the nature vs. nurture debate in regard to orientation, procreation preferences and methodology, etc.
Further explanation of the post:
Trivia:
[ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]
Already, you should have a clue that it isn't altogether completely serious given my last word. Anything but 'scientific'.
Now the second statement, humor.
[ QUOTE ]
Regardless, more research on the uniqueness of humanity needs to be done.
[/ QUOTE ]
Now, do you suppose I was suggesting that we begin seeking more funding of additional scientific studies, due to our incomplete sociological knowledge of human mating behaviors? Or was I suggesting an entirely different methodology for conveying research. Hands-on perhaps? And the likelihood I was even seriously going off to do said research is?
Now if you were to look at the second post, the trivia you provide in the quote. In response, I'm even incredibly clear I'm being snarky. I think the word pairing 'politically correct' really bothered you in the context as you inferred that I was questioning the veracity of natural inheritance. Rather, I was noting that said comment was not PC, but was done for humor's sake.
Now had I gone to the length to explain all of this, I wouldn't have been that funny. Actually, my guess is my lengthy response explaining what I find humorous is in itself, more humorous than my previous posts.
LoL. I am a female in real life, and up to recently every one of my toons has been female. I forgot where I was, Steel Canyon maybe, when a toon came up to me and sent me a tell. It read "You are a female in real life aren't you?" "Yes" I sent back bemused. "I KNEW IT" said he/it...and he/she flew merrily away leaving me looking at my toon.
She was wearing jeans, and a baggy top with the frost design. I guess he/she thought real life women don't dress their toons in, err, scanty, come here big boy, clothing, and I proved him right....
Wonder what he/she would say if he/she had come across my Archery Blaster's lil' black fightin' outfit...that outfit would blast his theory out the window
This is a fun thread...just sorry I got to it late.

This thread is very fun always to see when it comes to MMORPGS. I am a female in real life and most of my toons except two are dressed from head to toe. One which i draw recently was an idea to make a bare character which herself was infected with Mutagen and the other is my default way to dress which is not bare but plaid skirt with black high boots, black, red and pink tops.
They have stereotype that we female gamers can't be free sometimes and because male's only can take all the freedom they want -_-, that not only is typical in the physical world, that is typical too in the cyber world.
I just care about the ones i play to have an open minded attitude and that they really enjoy playing without any over negative attitude.

I hardly ever use the "with skin" option on any my characters, which are also always female. These days I let my husband do my costume designs or I'll end up spending days in the character designer.

Very good point and one of the reasons i have just one character with the complete with skin option is because it is not my type of characters and i have already a very non-comfortable experience with my Axe/Willpower brute which is the one with skin.|
