Hello HokutoAndy!

Thanks for your well-researched response! It amazes me at how hard Kotaku always tries to get news and discussion moving, yet they never seem to take a look at why things are a certain way. They just want to point out that they are.

Holy smokes. That was a fun read! Nice interpretation. Would never have put it together. Need to pay more attention to design!

Wow the thought that potentially went into this dissection of an artist's intent is amazing. I never even considered that the large breast were indicative of a nurturing subtext. Brilliant, you may have sold me on a game I was willing to write off because of what I perceived to be hyper-sexualized fantasy tropes.

Wow. And I mean that genuinely. I never would have thought to look at it that way, but you make some really compelling points. Starred!

SO. MUCH. WIN. !!!.

How does the new system determine which comments appear at the top? Is it by number of replies or number of recommendations?

Bravo, I commend you for doing more research than a person hired solely to research a topic and then write about it.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your analysis of this artwork. Much more well thought out and researched than the main article's blanket demonization of this phenomenal artwork because of puritanical reasons. Kudos.

I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for that amazing insight. My god that was fascinating.

If anyone's interested he links to a break down of the Dragons Crown trailer and its likely influences in design. The link is in the big post, but I'll post it here, so its easier to find:

I literally just signed up for this site so I could recommend this post. It is a bastion of careful consideration and analysis in an otherwise totally barren wasteland of mindless sensationalism (and I do NOT mean the comments of Kotaku). I didn't even really care either which way about the supposed issue of sexism,…

HokutoAndy wrote the post. RPGFan only copy/pasted it.

Should be props to HokutoAndy, who actually wrote it.

That could be a possibility. At the very least it would show that he's just trying to find sexism where there is none. Yes there is sexism in the industry(you'd have to be nearly mentally handicapped to not see it if you follow the industry), but just cause it is there doesn't mean it is in every game that features a…

Bravo.

Or, more likely: he noticed it and chose to ignore it because it destroys his objections.

I'm actually quite surprised Jason did not notice this post in the previous articles about the sorceress and the dwarf.

I can't click the recommend star enough times. This post should be the leading post in the comments section. This is the perfect counter argument post to what Jason is saying, but instead it is buried deep down in the comments......
