Yeah, good luck with that. The internet is full of perverts, there's no way they're gonna stop...

I hadn't seen a Taco News in quite a while, so I got about half way through this before having the realization dawn on me to glance to the left a bit.
Little known fact about cryogenic-stasis: it required the removal of 6 vertebrae.
True facts, just science.

You know, I've always wondered why the basic biological response to beautifully designed female characters in skin tight body suits that show off athletic, sexually appealing bodies is considered "Pervert" based when it relates to this kind of art/pornography on the internet and real world.CrazyGirl17 said:
It's a REALLY screwed up world that we stigmatise the natural nature generated response to art creations and real people who stimulate us sexually as "perverted".
I just don't get it. Hell, for the majority of additional things like feet, latex, leather, bondage, sploshing? (I think its called) etc, I won't class as perverted as I don't see why someone should be stigmatised for that either as its hurting NOBODY.
If anything should be labelled "perverted" it should be child porn, torture porn, necrophelia etc etc etc... because that DOES hurt people or is way WAY outside natures norms.
I've said this before, but the fact that Blizzard said before the launch of Overwatch that they deliberately sought not to sexualize the female characters, and then ended up with the game spawning more porn than the entire DoA series (spinoffs included) and Legend of Korra combined is just beyond deliciously ironic. It's true that the greatest achievements in art are born from going around and beyond set limitations. It's what you're not supposed to see that's enticing. No one's making porn from the dozens tig ole bitties in the God of War series because the game's already played its hand in that regard.
It's akin to showing someone an open fire versus giving someone firewood, gasoline and matches. Sure the fire may look impressive and is warm, but if you've got creativity and are willing to go through the effort, you'll create something that is not only more spectacular, but far more satisfying because you created it, and it looks exactly the way you want it to.
And Widowmaker is best waifu. Fuck anyone who thinks otherwise. Skintight suit, dat booty, ponytail, cleavage window, and zat Frrrrench accent... mon dieu! *Splurges like a fire hose*

Not going to comment on anything else here, but everyone saying that WIDOWMAKER is best waifu? You screwheads are forgetting about how she murdered her own husband in his sleep! I don't want to wind up falling asleep and never waking up!
So that's why I have to say I'm firmly in Dr. Ziegler's camp here.

Er, I don't think getting all hot and bothered over cartoony characters in a videogame is wholly covered by the "basic biological response" caveat. I mean, you also jumped to the conclusion this was about "female characters" which suggests your perceptions of conditioned beauty might be a little skewed? (not a criticism, btw, just an observation - all our perceptions are culturally skewed) Overwatch smut covers Roadhog and that dwarf fella as well, y'know.KaraFang said:
I don't think it's especially productive to simply equate hyper stylised smut with "basic biological response", which is what you seemed to be doing. There's no harm whatsoever in looking at what the kinds of things people are being conditioned into responding to, and what effect, if any, that is having (individually and collectively).
You also leapt straight to the conclusion the poster was using the P word as a pejorative. Did they clarify context/usage, or did you assume it? Perverts can own their perversity.
I don't speak from personal experience, of course. I have no Overwatch smut at all. Or Mass Effect. Or Dragon Age. Or
If a character, regardless of the media format used, appeals to the human sexual nature (from cartoons, to hentai, to 3d realistic models, to actual "real" human models/actors/actresses etc etc) then it is designed to affect the human response of "sexual" attraction.Darth Rosenberg said:
Heck, it's SO true about "sex sells" and so they do everything, right down to making a sexually stylised bugs bunny in what's her name from Space Jam. Babs?
I'm not getting at anyone or the comment, but I DO have issues that a sexual response to something designed to appeal sexually to people (and yes for me that's the GIRLS in skin tight outfits... not Hanzo's buff chest or rump) is in someway "perverted" or to be "looked down".
Society is screwed up when sexual appeal is "wrong" but having images of people being blown into bloody chunks is fine. (Yes, I know... I know, counter argument or saying I'm overreacting etc incoming).
Personally, I don't like the word pervert and it's connotations in modern life. I mean the dictionary literally still says "Pervert: a person whose sexual behaviour is regarded as abnormal and unacceptable." and to say the internet is full of perverts when the discussion subject relates to overwatch porn is, I feel myself, a little unfair and generalised.
I will agree that the internet does HAVE perverts... (sighs) it's soo hard to explain how I felt about that original comment in relation to this. Meh, ignore me... I'm in a crappy mood.
YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW ************!!!!! HOW DARE YOU NOT WORSHIP DAT ASS!?!?!?!?!?American Tanker said:

So is the love of Mei mostly because she's a cute nerd girl stereotype, or because she's a curvy, sort of plus size girl that just has so many lovely soft curves in all...the right...places....sorry, got distracted. What? Oh, right! Yeah, I don't play Overwatch, so I don't know how Mei is presented, if she's some eskimo nerd girl or something, and that's what makes everyone's hearts melt for her.
For me, it's her larger than normal proportions in the various departments of my preference.

The parts of a woman I'm more interested in tend to be the upper frontal regions. Not just tits, but face as well.
Besides, if the lore is correct, Widowmaker only feels satisfaction from completing missions. In other words, killing people. No thanks, I'll stick with Angela.
