So... Portraits

[ChrysOCE]

The community only has itself to blame for the system being a pain to work with. Originally you could do pretty much whatever you wanted, so naturally a number of people made porn portraits. Now restrictions are in place to prevent that from happening with the unfortunate side effect of instances like the OP's image.

Or they could just revert to the prior way that seemed to just work and if people want to have lewd portraits, well, so what? Mass murder, suicide, suggested SA, suggestive glam, exotic dancers etc etc all ok! Lewd player portraits??? oh, hell no!

I still wished i could just really opt out of them... it annoys me so much lol

Yes "suggestive glam" is definitely the same thing as a dude jerking off for the camera.

Is it any different? Who really cares? You only see the adventure plate if you click on someone and look at them. You can disable portraits if you dont want to ever see anything suggestive. I just dont see how adventure plate/portrait lewdness is so so much worse than actual story themes or players glamming themselves to look as sexy as they can.

It's not. People just wanna complain to complain. The fact that they have to opt out of seeing portraits is one step too much, so it's easier to just complain about it. *shrugs*

Yes.

Well adjusted people, and presumably developers of popular MMOs that don't want portaits of catgirls giving head to run them afoul of the ESRB.

"I shouldn't have to stop making juvenile porn portraits, other people should just lock themselves out of an entire feature of the game."

Grow up.

One day you'll grow out of your teens and it'll make more sense.

Oh come on. Is that the best you can do? Seriously? Making comments and assumptions about age? I'm probably older than you. Less hung up about stuff, though, it seems.

Edit - also, just as a by the by, here is the ESRB rating:
Language, Mild Blood, Sexual Themes, Use of Alcohol, Violence
Online Interactions Not Rated by the ESRB

Short of mods, there's nothing explicit that players can do with their portraits. Just suggestive.

Sure bud.

Totally.

[Tsurayu]

Totally.

That's not explicit. That is a prime example of suggestive.

But... that thing is obviously just a weapon handle or something in reality, though. It's the dictionary definition of "suggestive." Our characters aren't anatomically accurate, and we literally can't get naked, so it's impossible to have "explicit" portraits.

It also seems to be a demonstration of the futility of portrait restrictions, when something like this is allowed but OP's portrait isn't. I seem to recall seeing that one pretty early on, maybe before the restrictions were enacted, but I bet it still probably works today.
