No, capes are because superheroes have their origin in comics, and on the static artwork of a comic, capes made it much easier to show action than regular clothing.
They had the option to remove capes. until you run simulations as is and the cape floats up too high to show man ass. Director gets uncomfortably mad at that.at least as far as dc is concerned.
Mhhm, someone got undesired feelings when looking at Astarions ass and made a mod to remove the problem.
The length men will go to to not learn anything about themselves is impressive.
Okay but the butt-hugging going on in the left image doesn't make much sense given the fabric. Left butt should just have that connecting middle part added. No need to make it smaller.
If wiping your ass gives you those kinds of feelings then that’s not a gay nor straight thing, you’ve got a whole different thing going on, unless you’re using a bidet, then those feelings are perfectly normal.
As a straight male I can honestly say that while the default is aesthetically pleasing, pants just don't wear that way unless you're very friendly with your tailor.
Which is perfectly in keeping with Asterion's character.
Gale: That tailor violated me. He was measuring my inseam and then there was definite... cuppage...
Astarion: That's how they do pants!!! First they go up one side, they move it over. Then they go up the other side they move it back. Then then they go up the rear. Right, Wyll?
I mean yeah. So many insecure men, refuse to wear fitted clothes or talk to their doctor about lower intestine problems, because they believe that admitting you have a butt is gay or feminine.
Removing the gay/trans rear is pretty in character for these types.
Its a weird attitude that would be a lot more funny if it didn't cause men to die of preventable ass cancers.
It's a fantasy world, we can have magical leather pants that show off your ass and are comfortable to fight in and maybe even give a +1 to stealth rolls.
IDK if hetero men refusing to wear fitted clothes is because of homophobia... Or that they actively refuse in the first place, its more likely a disinterest in spending the time or money on fashion in general. Most hetero men will only engage with fashion after they've hit the gym/got-fit because they think they have a chance with ladies after that so a thing they normally would ignore (fashion) is suddenly worth the effort for the extrinsic reward.
Hard disagree. What this picture is showing is ill-fitted clothes. Everyone looks better when their measurements are taken into consideration with the outfit. You don't have to fit it close to the belly to be 'fitted' clothes, they'd probably downplay the extra waist size and focus on tailoring the fit near the shoulders and arms and ensuring the shirts mid area is more specific to the individual's shape than the three-sizes-fit-all Walmart shirt strategy.
Most of my stuff isn't fitted, and I've been a solid 50-75lbs overweight most of my life, but the stuff that is fitted looks nice (and cost a good penny more) and makes me feel better while wearing it
Just today I was leaving the grocery store parking lot and saw some guy with a solid upper body load groceries into a lifted truck with a Trump sticker and the whole time I was worried about the poor guys tiny legs snapping.
My favorite part of this is that they have this, but then install all the nude female mods, or the big boob mods.
Like, I can't find a decent male armor mod on Nexus without going through pages and pages of the most thirsty ass nude/skimpy mods. I know I can block them, but that also hides some gore related mods, so I just sit there and wonder at the depravity of people who look at polygons in the shape of a human and get off to it. :X
That's what they are probably going for. I wonder how many people started to wear diapers to be more like dear leader. Remember when they started to wear bandages on their ear when that fake shooting happened?
The folds in the hollow of the knee look better and more realistic. This reinforces the chaps(?). But the pants also look looser and not tight-fitting. Only at the beginning of the ass cheeks does the ass start to suck in the vacuum.
The ass on the right has been made flatter. However, the pants are as tight as a second skin underneath the ass, where such folds would not be there because they are too tight.
Don't look natural to me. Look at how tight the pants are on the knees and the legs on the right. Yet suddenly on the ass it becomes limp and lame? That ain't natural.
Maybe read before?
Thats exactly what i told. Left - unrealistic tight Ass while right the Ass looks more Natural. Meanwhile the legs and the folds in the knee look much more natural on the left while These legs in the right side are so Tide that the folds in the knee wouldnt happend cause too straff.
Edit: Oh yes, and that I prefer a natural look with vanilla. It's a statement about what I generally prefer, but it wasn't a statement that I find the vanilla version shown here more natural. But it's not just this game.
I have complicated feelings on this. (Note: I've yet to play BG3, I will eventually)
I'm bisexual, so I'd never ever install this mod. But I feel as though that I can't say someone is explicitly wrong for doing so. Maybe they're not the kind of person I'd want to interact with, and maybe I might not be able to help but judge them a little, but its their prerogative.
Like, should a person be expected to expose themselves to something they see as sexual if it makes them uncomfortable? Even if that discomfort stems from homophobia or fear of discovering that they are bi/gay? Like, this arguably is an issue of whatever the player consents to seeing.
It being included in the anti-woke modlist is funny though.
IMO you’ve consented to seeing sexual content when you continue purchasing and/or playing the game after seeing the content warning and age rating that includes “Nudity” and “Strong Sexual Content”.
That's a good point, but IDK if that'd mean they consent to all sexual content in the sense that they might have some ignorant expectations of what they'll find in the game with that rating.
This is obviously extremely tame compared to some of the stuff they probably just stumble over on the internet.
Though obviously, they don't consent to it if they decide to specifically install this mod.
Does this make everyone's ass flatter or just Asterion's? I'm genuinely curious. Because I know he isn't the only one that's caked up.
Even then, if it's just Asterion and not other male characters, I don't know what to make of it. I don't think making an ass flatter is homophobic (although it certainly isn't ally behavior). But it might reveal some internalized homophobia. Maybe. Again, I'm not really sure.
If it were all male characters and none of the female characters I'd be more concerned about sexism than homophobia. But that's just me.
Obviously, given that the mod seems to be just Asterion, it's not a real concern. But if they were leaving women as they are (scantily clad, revealing outfits, etc) and de-sexualizing I'd be more concerned about why they feel it's okay to objectify women and not men.
That's what I suspected you meant. I agree that it is (partially) irrelevant to the topic of this post, but still I think its interesting enough that I want to engage with it if you don't mind.
Sexualization is not intrinsically objectification. It can be but you'd have to make an assumption about their motivations for installing such a mod that I think is unrealistic in that case.
Further, keeping character's you find attractive sexy and de-sexing characters who you (think you) find unnattractive on your own local private play through seems like something a person would do for the sake of enhancing a private fantasy. It'd be that they are treating the game as at least partly an erotic experience would be my assumption that would be damaged for them if the sexualization of certain character hurts that experience for them.
Of course I should reiterate that I've not played the game. So I might be missing some context. I have played Skyrim loaded with, ah-hem... certain mods. And I know why I installed those, and it wasn't because I wanted to embrace objectification.
I mean, if we're taking the example of flattening an ass on men and leaving round, partially exposed asses on women, I think we're going beyond objectifying people. The game let's you run around naked with genitals on display. If someone wants to have that kind of play experience, they can do it without mods. So if they feel the need to desexualize men and leave women in sexual roles, it tells me something about how they see women.
I'm not asking you to come to the same conclusion. You're free to feel however you want.
So if they feel the need to desexualize men and leave women in sexual roles, it tells me something about how they see women.
It tells you how they see people they're attracted to. Which happens to be women. (and maybe men but they're denying that potentiality to themselves possibly)
I find both men and women physically attractive, but I do not find all men and women physically attractive. If I installed a mod that de-sexualized certain people but not by gender, would that mean I'm objectifying the people I find attractive?
Culture obviously plays a role here in making men see women as merely potential sexual play things. Even when I thought I was straight I never understood this on a personal level, because a major factor in finding someone sexy for me is precisely that they are not an object.
Someone didn’t want to feel their feelings.
It "woke" something up inside of them
100% this is the film industry.
The reason for all the marvel capes is to hide man ass because the director :
1: is scared of homosexuals enjoying the film 2: denies women have sexual desires 3: is scared of his own homosexual desires
No, capes are because superheroes have their origin in comics, and on the static artwork of a comic, capes made it much easier to show action than regular clothing.
They had the option to remove capes. until you run simulations as is and the cape floats up too high to show man ass. Director gets uncomfortably mad at that.at least as far as dc is concerned.
Except americas ass
You mean the Marvel films that managed to put a gratuitous topless buff bloke shot in most of them?
Something I learned from fragile dudes: Looking at top nekkid men is not gay. It’s “checking out their routine“ and totally not a gay subconscious.
Lmaoooo
Nothin' at all...
Nothin' at all...
NOTHIN' AT ALL!
They turned him into just Tarion
Mhhm, someone got undesired feelings when looking at Astarions ass and made a mod to remove the problem.
The length men will go to to not learn anything about themselves is impressive.
Okay but the butt-hugging going on in the left image doesn't make much sense given the fabric. Left butt should just have that connecting middle part added. No need to make it smaller.
They took his chaps away.
How will he ride horses now?
Well I guess with that little butt he has to start walking to build it back up anyway
This is for the men who don’t wipe after using the toilet because that’s gay
What even is the point of wiping ? You’re just gonna be shitting again soon anyway.
Yeah what’s the point of even leaving the bathroom or standing up. Just stay there on that toilet. You’re just gonna use it again.
Nah you get homorrhoids that way
This is the comment that got me off the toilet.
You know this from experience hey?
I appreciate the wisdom you shared
IDK, but not smelling like shit and not itching there worth it.
Or maybe they do wipe, but then they need to write an apology letter to mother because of how it made them feel.
If wiping your ass gives you those kinds of feelings then that’s not a gay nor straight thing, you’ve got a whole different thing going on, unless you’re using a bidet, then those feelings are perfectly normal.
God bless a quality bidet. The only true mark of civilization.
Vampire twink ass got him feeling weird.
As a straight male I can honestly say that while the default is aesthetically pleasing, pants just don't wear that way unless you're very friendly with your tailor.
Which is perfectly in keeping with Asterion's character.
Gale: That tailor violated me. He was measuring my inseam and then there was definite... cuppage...
Astarion: That's how they do pants!!! First they go up one side, they move it over. Then they go up the other side they move it back. Then then they go up the rear. Right, Wyll?
Wyll: Yes, yes it is... in PRISON!!
Karlach: pretending not to listen, grinning
The same people who cry when someone makes a game where the woman don't all have large breasts
I mean yeah. So many insecure men, refuse to wear fitted clothes or talk to their doctor about lower intestine problems, because they believe that admitting you have a butt is gay or feminine.
Removing the gay/trans rear is pretty in character for these types.
Its a weird attitude that would be a lot more funny if it didn't cause men to die of preventable ass cancers.
Which is very weird, women love a guy that has a nice ass.
Heavy are the thighs that bear the strap on
Having your pants in your crack that high, is NOT fitted.
Yoga pants, sure, I guess, but leather pants that you need to hike/fight in, that is a huge nonstarter.
It's a fantasy world, we can have magical leather pants that show off your ass and are comfortable to fight in and maybe even give a +1 to stealth rolls.
"I keep trying to stealth, but the clap of my ass cheeks keeps giving me disadvantage!"
The originals comment I was replying to was making a generalized statement about fitted clothes and not specific to a fantasy scenario.
Edit.
And he also edited it.
Waiting for 4x4s and trucks to be classed as gay so idiots would stop buying them and not fitting on our British roads

There are many more reasons for not wanting to wear fitted clothes. They are not comfortable and you actually need to look good to look better.
Hard disagree. What this picture is showing is ill-fitted clothes. Everyone looks better when their measurements are taken into consideration with the outfit.

Dude’s buff as fuck.
This is how I feel when I try on a shirt I like in a store. Nice shirt for a nice-looking guy. Guess I'll have to stick to the plaid sacks.
it's a fetish at that point and you cannot convince me otherwise.
Dude spent his freetime styling an ass to his prefered shape. I think we're kinkshaming him.
There is no such thing as a human that can look at those two asses and think #2 is better
Tbf unless they have Lululemon the second one looks more like an ass in pants
The first has a wedgie
That ass really had someone CONFUSED
The ass is the unifier. We must break bread with the ass not be divided by it.
Break wind not bread
May the Lord be with you
Divide the cheeks, not the people!
This videogame character is making me have gay thoughts again!
Im super straight. Whoever makes me hard is a woman.
Anti-"woke" mods are hilarious, they just prove how thin-skinned teabaggers are.
Just today I was leaving the grocery store parking lot and saw some guy with a solid upper body load groceries into a lifted truck with a Trump sticker and the whole time I was worried about the poor guys tiny legs snapping.
Never skip leg day, folks.
So you're telling me some rando sculpted his butt as a hobby project 🤔
They turned him into Hank Hill...
That’s an all-American butt right there
Why were they staring at his ass in the first place....seems kinda sus fam...
This mod is a quintessential example of this meme
They don't want to be ass-starion.
Let them eat cake
Literally 1984
My favorite part of this is that they have this, but then install all the nude female mods, or the big boob mods.

The only reason I can think someone would want to do this is because they are gay or bi and have not come to terms with that.
Definitely. Took all that time and tinkering to get rid of
their urgeswOkE pRoPaGaNdA!They put the guy in a diaper
"Romancing" virtual characters is weird and probably unhealthy from a mental health perspective (unless it's The Emperor, he doesn't count)
It's the same as doing anything else in a video game, imo.
Looks like he's wearing Depends, just like the orange menace.
That's what they are probably going for. I wonder how many people started to wear diapers to be more like dear leader. Remember when they started to wear bandages on their ear when that fake shooting happened?
to be fair it also mods the pants
Makes them tighter.
Why do they appear to have made his pants tighter in the process?
It just looks like badly cut jeans. Not having enough material for a butt crack, they cram your buttocks together into one squished amorphous lump.
Oh but on the legs? They appear to have removed a layer of clothing so they still have something to admire.
To be fair. Right picture Looks much more natural on the ass. The one on the left looks natural on the trouser legs.
I think the left one is wearing chaps over the stretchy pants.
The folds in the hollow of the knee look better and more realistic. This reinforces the chaps(?). But the pants also look looser and not tight-fitting. Only at the beginning of the ass cheeks does the ass start to suck in the vacuum. The ass on the right has been made flatter. However, the pants are as tight as a second skin underneath the ass, where such folds would not be there because they are too tight.
He'd insist on the before one though.
It's not a problem as long as modding is possible, everyone can make it look the way they want. But I would prefer a natural look for vanilla.
Don't look natural to me. Look at how tight the pants are on the knees and the legs on the right. Yet suddenly on the ass it becomes limp and lame? That ain't natural.
Maybe read before?

I assume just Asterion's given that's what the tweet suggests.
That's an interesting take, could you elaborate?

I told you don't need to agree with me. Can we leave it at that? Or do you think it's your job to change my mind?
Where is this mod for Street Fighter so I can play 1v1 with my grandma without her passing out at the character select screen?
Comaland. Where the unwoke are blissfully ignorant and socks are all stiff.
They can’t do that to Faerun’s Ass!
It's woke because it's making the "straight" guys confused
