Quote from: Nexus;811811What the fuck did you quote me for? I wasn't claiming it was controversial or noteworthy just making an aside.

Sorry, I agree that should have been addressed to Bren only.

It's an unnatural hair color akin to what one might see in some anime. It's a swimsuit pose. I've seen a lot better art in RPGs. I seen some significantly worse art. Both hair color and pose seem like slighly suboptimal choices to me in the context of a SJG source book cover.

Do you really love the artwork or have some actual point?

Quote from: Nexus;811813Would the picture have been acceptable of if was exactly the same except for the sorceress being in long flowing robes?

No, those would just be "hiding the money shot!" according to one of the more vocal rpg art critics.

The same one who thinks pictures of cows without pants are sexualized.

Its from Anna Kreieder's website. I'm looking for it now, but its hard to navigate around all that crazy. I just read it yesterday though, thought it was in some kind of FaQ or something. I remember it because it was the tipping point for me, where I was like "yeah, I dont need to waste anymore of my time today reading crazy"

Not relevant to me whether it's supposed to be natural or dyed. You can take that up with Nexus.

QuoteDo you ... have some actual point?

Originally, that nudity and hair color are qualitatively different in their potential for controversy.

Feel free to ask about any other posts where your lack of reading comprehension is causing you difficulties.

What you actually said was that hair color has no potential for controversy. Which is more than just a qualitative difference.

If you are arguing that they are qualitatively different, so far as I noticed no one in this thread ever said they are qualitatively the same, so I don't know who you think you are arguing with.

I never said that. Apparently Will's opinion of you was too generous.

You also aren't arguing with anyone. If you just want to fellate Will, you should go get a room.

Nobody has advanced an argument for me to respond to. I'm just outsourcing to Will the insults I'm not willing to type.

It's probably not womb-natural, but it's not out of the range of dyes people are likely to use (My partner, frex). I'd say it's a legit hair colour.

Oh I agree it's a dye color that gets used. I've seen it more than once. It's just a bit too fuschia to be a natural, undyed hair color.

Or its not the best of scans of a cover?

Certainly possible.
