Gals with too much makeup on

100% hereto sorry. Nothing about the male form appeals to me. Not ever if it is stuck on a nice lady (such as minor man face). When watching my private time videos if a guy has to be in it I want him as off camera as possible.

Thus your attraction to watching a male toon's butt in nothing but underwear all day.

Got it!

To which part were you agreeing?

I view him as myself. I find me to be very neutral territory.

Must have missed the newsletter that 'breeders' has been mainstreamed.

Note to self: find out the new gayhtto slang for the fashion challenged.

Oh, just pick one, or all three.

It's not heterosexuality that's flaunted here. I'm not sure it's sexuality that's being flaunted at all, since a lot of what's being presented is barely even human, but let's go with that - it's sexuality. This isn't being flaunted as HETEROsexuality, e.i. this isn't men making a point of expressing that they like women and would like to hang out with other men who like women... Actually, speaking as a straight male, when it comes to women, I would rather NOT hang out with other men, because they're ugly and spoil the moment. I don't believe in the notion of attractive men.

This is in contrast to... Hand me an inoffensive term here. GLBT? When you contrast this threat to "those" threads, the difference is clear. Those threads are made to specifically flaunt orientation before sexuality, whereas this one is made to indulge in sexuality without regard to orientation. Here are a few (questionably) attractive women, which one do you prefer. Your sexual orientation is absolutely irrelevant. It doesn't matter if you're straight, non-straight, an alien or a strangely sentient lump of rock candy. This isn't what the thread is ABOUT. Not unless you automatically associate attractive women or the appreciation thereof with heterosexuality. Which, by the way, is a view I personally find to actually be offensive to women. A woman can be attractive without requiring a man to lust after her, and that is the heart of the matter here.

Vanessa is a perfectly physical, relatively young woman. The ancient ancestor you're thinking of is Givanna Scaldi, the spirit in Vanessa's porcelain mask. Giovanna is a 600-year-old Italian psychic of incredible power who managed to seal her soul in her porcelain mask, which Vanessa found (I don't remember how) and used, initially to help fight the Rikti back in 2004. Since then, she has slipped more and more into her current state. Her soul violently escaping her body at the end of the showdown is proof both that she is real and physical, as well as that she is not merely corrupted by Givonna, but actually evil herself.

This again, huh? Seriously, people, who the hell spends all their time staring at their character's butt? How do you even move around the world like that? I mean, theoretically you'd have to take your eyes OFF the butt to see where your mouse pointer is and where the door you want to click on is located, or which powers you have recharged or what you're fighting or, hell, what the GENDER of the character you're playing is. The butt isn't as gender-specific as people think. It's kind of like trying to walk down a busy street reading a large newspaper - you can't really do it.

Well, obviously, but the way people talk, you'd think staring at a female butt is all male players playing female characters ever do. It's not. And I don't know about your peripheral vision, but mine is imprecise. Imprecise enough that I can't read names off chat, read the state of readiness of powers, identify enemies or follow my health and endurance. Hell, I can't see what's going on on the screen when I navigate by the map half the time, missing things that people sitting in the same room then go "How could you not see that? You ran right past it!"

Obviously it's nice to have a female character running around, but the way I play, I rarely get to spend much time looking at my own character, and even when I do look, I quickly get bored of the same, nearly static picture. Every time you run, you run the exact same way. Every time you fly, you maintain the same pose for long stretches of time. Yes, you can switch, but not all poses are appropriate for all characters. It's like looking at a picture - no matter how good it may be, I can't spend more than a couple of minutes looking at it. Why would I?

Crap! I've been discovered!

Surely Silver Mantis and Clamor would be better, they seem to have some tastes in common.

While I'm here, I'll put in a vote for Clamor in answer to the original question, too - the safety-pinned fishnets are great, and I like madborgs.

Of course not. Those breast sliders are there for a reason.

And very obviously male-designed too, going by the way they just inflate everything equally in all directions with no attempt to be even vaguely normal looking

Hmm... Come to think of it, you CAN make them big enough to be seen from the back. Good point.

Which is exactly what's wrong with them
You should only be able to see the edges of them from the back when the arms are raised, no matter how large they are.

[insert savage dismissal of the notion that 'package' is equivalent to breasts here]

Ghost Widow: "What makeup?" (/The IT Crowd reference.)

Nah, it'd be a chest slider.

Breasts != genitals, and most specifically != *****

Perhaps, but I think a detailed discussion of the mechanical incongruities of genital dimensional sliders between male and female characters is likely to earn me an Ocho-prize timeout.
