There is a cavalcade of outfits that expose women's breasts, therefore players are encouraged to reveal their breasts because logic gaps."

Check your cis, white, male, monster-normative privilege.

Because burqas are endemic to America, Europe, Japan, and Russia.

*nods sagely*

Gonna toss in on the outrage train and object to "conservative" being used in place of "modest".

Also, re: Rowena - bow-chicka-wow-wow. Ain't nothin' quite so foxy as a take-charge businesswoman.

That is all o.0

Oh spare me your false outrage. I spoke of a geographic region where the GOVERNMENTS have decided that showing skin is a crime that is punishable in some cases all the way up to death. That's not racist. I said nothing of race anywhere. I said nothing of any type of people. I said something about a geographic area where a certain standard of dress is endemic to that area as opposed to almost any other area of the world. It's not racist, it's fact. I am so sick of you people screaming racist as a way to silence opposing thoughts because of the highly negative stigma associated with that accusation. Ironically (if I'm using that correctly) enough, it is the very use of that accusation for that reason that is watering it down to the point where it carries about as much of a negative stigma as calling someone a poopyhead.

Are you some of those gamersgate idiots?

@Topic

You're not being a feminist by defending the sexualized way women are represented in games. Please also note that feminism defend that women should dress the way they want and not being called slut for that.

Clearly this thread is a misdirection facilitated by Pro-wena agitators. They would have us argue social issues like dress and modesty while the rich get richer off the blood of hapless adventurers. Before we know it, she'll have consolidated the wealth and power of a nation in her Fortress of Wonders.

How did this suddenly became a rowena is a slut thread o.O

Well, she did rise to fame pretty fast in Revenant's Toll, reminds me of this.

what if rowena was male and decided to wear shorts and no shirt; would that be considered "slutty?"
