(*) I'll make a dedicated journal entry in the near future on the various points of view this lobby is taking on the matter and question their arguments. I object to men being objectified like that. While you're at it let's just ban this also all together. So here it is, and I'm gonna say: do not yield to this motion!Дo not self-censor your own work, your creativity! If by all means the opposition feels change is needed, let it NOT be by oppressing others art but by just offering an alternative for those who wish an alternative.Д«ut honestly, let me ask the question to the opposition again: Why is for instance the attire of Nariko a problem and why is the attire of Kratos just fine? Instead you just compared apples to pears. Obviously stated like that the latter will look ridiculous and look like you made a point, but you haven't. If you want to compare a scantily clad Red Sonja with scantily clad Conan the barbarian, do not compare it with Conan in a chainmail bikini. Similar invalid argument is comparing the same outfit of female character on male character.

When saying that boob plates are unrealistic and a hazard to the wearer, then also fully commit to your stance that a full plate is a deathtrap in most fantasy environment and will get you nowhere. Playing the realism card is totally out of place and absurd when discussing a fantasy setting. What I think is even more a slap in the face of artists is the parade of charlatans behind it reinforcing this lobby and these statements by arguing game/comic art should be realistic and practical, not fashionable. To them these forms of 'objectification' belong in the past and are considered part of the fantasy of a 'certain type of boys'. Condemning Red Sonia for being scantily clad, Mario for the 'save the princess' clichГ© to even armor designs that feature curves for the breasts. And rightfully so they should be vigilant in their fight for a woman friendly work environment within the game industry.Д«ut truth is that things are really turning to the ridicule of it: wanting to censor the game and comic book industry by setting an example of what is accepted as female character art, and what is not. The idea on itself is noble when you consider women should earn as much as men and should be treated as equal employees. Despite that its root is very well hidden it is recruiting a lot of followers including some big names. Also blackmails in the form of 'change your game art or we won't publish a single word about you.' is a common behavior found among those.ДЇact is, there is a strong lobby going on out there which is holding a very aggressive campaign for women in the games industry. In the world of journalism there are channels that take an aggressive stance against everything they judge even remotely sexistic and in many instances denying the word of opposition by disabling criticism and reactions on their articles or blogs. Disagreeing wholeheartedly with the claim of the artwork being sexistic, the better half of me decided to meet 'offended-by-design' people somewhere in the middle. Apparently it was deemed to be sexistic and women unfriendly by the way the female protagonist was portrayed: with a bare belly.ДЄ bare belly was for some enough a trigger to send our company enough hate and threatening mails to persuade my boss to ask me to change the cover. Our kickstarter campaign for Divinity: Original Sin has gotten quite some criticism on its original poster art. In a lot of ways you're forced to self-censorship when it comes to publishing your work. Yet at the same time artists have to be more and more careful of all those people out there we might possibly offend.

I'm sure people will say that as an artist we should learn how to deal with harsh and often unfair criticism, as if this is mandatory to being an artist. Recent events and a large exposure to unhealthy criticism had gotten me thinking and checking with my fellow artists. Surely this is something that has existed since the first written word on the internet, and for as long men could express their thoughts behind a pseudonym charade. This journal entry is all about judgmental journalism, offended-by-design opinionators and the fearsome white knights that the first two bring in its wake. Afterall it is a hot topic that has gone completely viral for many months now. While in most cases time dissipates the issue in my mind this time it is something that keeps bugging me over and over again to a point it irritates the hell out of me. And not on my mind alone as it seems more artists are confronted with the same thing I'm about to say. The reason for making this journal entry is because there is something that has been on my mind since the past three months.
