To them it doesn't have to actually 'sexual' it's what they perceive as sexual.
Ironically, prudes see MANY MORE things as 'sexual' than people who are a lot more open about sexuality. The irony of this projection is lost on them, and they'd probably be a lot happier if they lightened up.

I'm going to offer a brief moment of clarity for those that would rather take one side or another on what shouldn't even be an argument. To all commenting and considering the desire to have change or ability to change our character's proportions, or are against it all together. Look at yourself, and ask yourself if you're just some sexual creature due to your own proportion, or if you are aware that we're all truly different and are not meant to be attuned to one body type.
This is not for those who want to SJW the idea of changing our characters, this type of threads offers those to express the opinion on if it's necessary or not. Do not make this an unnecessary discussion about sexualization or the like, because you're intentionally bringing something that feels entirely unnecessary, and I have a feeling some people who are doing this, are aware of it. -

Too late to even mention it, and how sensitive do you have to be to call an actual 'butt' sexualized? Then again, lets look at the definition of sexualized.Quote:

Hm...so the little boob sliders we have is, "GASP" sexualizing out characters!? First off, that sexualized nonsense is a blank statement. Being perverted, also pointless. Know how many players walk around in a bikini fighting monsters some dyeing their tights to look naked, guys running around in subliguars, women running around in subliguars!? Get out of here with that. You can place the blame where it should be, SE. Unless your a person who gets offended at the slightest leg opening of a guy who just wants to adjust his pants on a bus, and scoff at a women with a shirt with her breasts that're bigger than yours and sit out of her shirt, there's no reason REALISTIC butts should bother you.
Also, here's the thing about being realistic. You realize our faces are rarely zoomed in on 90% of the game, so any more visible features would be your characters body proportions, right? What'll be realistic is when people learn to stop being phased at the image of a pixalized butt in-game.

Yep, didn't forget this. They wish they could be accurate in this picture. Is that sexualized or is it actually normal? -

Female Miqo'te want their 1.0 curves back? Not overtly sexual at all; only to those that make it as such. Female Roe would like to be a little more voluptuous and curvy? Not sexual at all--unless one makes it so. In my opinion, the ones "sexualizing" this game are the ones who claim that people who want their character to have a little more variety with regards to body types are perverts. Body sliders are only "overly sexual" or "perverted" if you try to make it out as such.
I want my character to have more curves: more specifically, a rounder and less-flat behind. That does not make me a pervert just because I am not a fan of her pancake butt. And it does not mean I am sexualizing my character because I ask for her to have curves, and not be a stick. I don't see how this is really any different from one looking in a mirror and saying: "I wish I wasn't as flat as a board" or "wish I had an hourglass-figure." It's called preferences, and just because we want more variety does not mean we are perverts. Please stop using that argument.
If you don't want there to be body sliders because you would rather, I don't know, SE add a new race instead? That's fine. Or you are concerned about the strain it could have on memory when running on certain machines. That's fine. But don't sit behind your computer screen and make those of us that just want variety out to be terrible, perverted individuals. I can say with certainty that those posting in this thread that are pro-sliders are hardly doing it so they can get off to their virtual character. Stop generalizing us, and stop labeling us. -

Some decent textures would be nice too. Some of them are just... come on.
