    I really don't like what they've photoshopped, but I do think this discussion is worth having, so I posted it anyway.

      While the article isn't great, it does start a discussion which I think was the goal.

        Exactly. It started a good debate in here, and I'm glad.

          Me too. Even as a guy I have really gotten tired of the crazy costumes. It doesn't serve a purpose for me at this point. I like that people are pushing back, but I hope they remember that even though these are unrealistic, they do have a place in games and movies.

            There's no problem with fantasy, but there's a problem with normalizing models in fantasy, and this is one way to (badly, but still) highlight the problem.

              Yep and that's where it goes too far (which is the area that it is firmly in and will probably never really leave).
