I looked around to the extent twitter is usable to someone without an account. This seems to be something about DnD and a lizard race having more than 2 breasts. This has been one of those guaranteed to piss off feminists elements of sci-fi since the beginning. They think the idea of different-than-human breasts (in number especially) to be anti-woman somehow. The reasoning is never elaborated just "more than 2 breasts is gross and evil" and you're supposed to nod because of course it is.
You're left to guess why they hate it, but I'm sure its some variation on 'unrealistic body standards' that they like to fall back on to defend their own ugly and unappealing lifestyle choices. They pulled this same mental gymnastics briefly with futanari porn, since now it's terrible to like tits and peepee on the same creature if they're of an idealized size. "This is hateful to real trans."
It never stops amusing me that they have to attack and destroy fantastic beauty elements to defend their shit-level existence. By their own reasoning and impetus. They're straight up threatened by you having an idea. Being corporeal isn't even an advantage when what you're grabbing is so slimy and gross.
But only mammals have tits. That's why they're called "mammals".
"Lizards" shouldn't have tits at all, so some fantasy setting should be able to get away with giving them millions of them, if they can get away with two.
Imagine the fuss if Khajiit were depicted as, well, cats. "All six of my nipples are tingling!"
I can't tell which side you're arguing. You sound pro-anatomy for lizards, but anti-anatomy for cats. But either one is fine, just don't try to claim they hurt real living human females by their existence either way.
I'm pro aesthetics. My lizards should be sexy. My cats should be sexy. My elves should be sexy, and my fucking dwarves should be sexy. I'm not playing pretend with you if my make-believe world can't even be slightly better than the painful one I'm trying to stop living in for 5 minutes. We should be united at-least in that.
Yeah. Basically, it's the difference between "science fiction" and "fantasy". If something is supposed to be "science fiction", then I'd pretty much expect an obvious reptile-analogue to not have milk-giving glands at all (and their hatchlings to be more physically precocious than human babies.) But fantasy? Well, as long as there's some explanation that fits with the fantasy universe, then pretty much anything goes. ie, Argonians having tits - they don't give milk, they give Hist sap (or so I was told by someone somewhere somewhen.) So, technically, a female Argonian might have them outside of the Black Marsh, but not if she's living within it, with regular access to Hist trees. Of course, if they have these glands when they're not accompanied by children, this brings a whole 'nother dimension to their culture I don't really wish to examine.
Which is clearly insane as "covered in tits" is always the correct answer.
I'm just posting this to bash regressive leftists for using this as an excuse to promote their extremist ideologies.
Pro-anatomy, but I don't really care. As I told the other one, the unrealism doesn't stop me at all - after all, it IS a FANTASY setting, and the FANTASY people don't have to track to real life creatures 1:1. Hell, the humans themselves generally don't even, they're more like idealizations of the human ape. Which is what you want in a FANTASY.
It's the Neo-Calvinists I'm laughing at who get all in some sex-lather about it.
The line in quotes? Is from Red Dwarf, and is one of the funniest lines to come out of the Cat's mouth.
Not sure if you are kiding but this is a major issue I had with Kajiit, I tend to not think about it to much but I can't play as one. :P is something silly but it breaks immersion for me, same with Tauren females in wow, I expect udders.
Just repeating the thread, but it shouldn't break immersion in a fantasy setting. Do you need to pretend that life on Tamriel developed like humans and animals on Earth? That Khajit are some kind of evolved felines - the cat analogue to humans and apes?
You can literally say "a wizard did it" and it's totally immersive. Or you can say "they look like cats but technically they are biologically closer to what we call mammals". 🤓
One of the in universe myths about the khajiit was them being changed from elves by Azura. So the human-like tits could be handwaved as a leftover from that.
...but cats are mammals.
I know you can explain it but still bugs me. The closer you can get is it a result of a wizard experiment of mixing human and animals.
Cats are mammals; the difference between ape and feline tits is basically, the smaller you are, the more babies you can have. Large (over 100 lbs adult weight) mammals have fewer babies than smaller ones. Bears and elephants have two chest-tits, too. Tits tend to match how many kids you have at one time.
And frankly, what I understand of the Khajiit is that their (fantastical!) biology is REALLY weird, in that how they develop depends on the phases of the moons. Yes, those tiger and kitty-like Khajiit in TESO are people, too, and are perfectly understandable to the more humanlike (playable) Khajiit. When that one dude refers to the tiger as his brother, he's NOT being metaphorical.
Oh sure you can story sci-fi justify it away. I am not saying it is even much of a stretch, but it still is pretty darn weird when you have what is clearly mostly a cat, because people recognize it as a cat and are not going to think about the "sci-fi or fantasy in world explanations" cause it is still a freakin' cat that it is based on.
Personally I never even thought of it or cared, but it is weird now that I think about it lol.
Oh, I was joking, I'm pro-anatomy. But it also doesn't stop me from picking the non-humany option in games - I just don't play as a female.
OwO
This is literally what the drama is about, regressive leftists having a bitch fit over lizard tits because they decided it violates objectification theory, which is just a retarded extremist feminist concept used to promote sexism against men by pushing conspiracy theories that conflate perversion, sex attraction, and sex appeal with sexism.
"Womens rights in Afghanistan? Nah, fuck that, lets complain about fictional characters for reasons that are just as shallow as our own existences"
