boobsploitation
So i never understood the fuzz about choosing boobs as a motif. Nude bodies have always been part of art. Also boobs are a thankful motif, as they keep one motivated to continue and finish a picture. Actually i adore and worship the female body. For me, nothing does feel wrong about that. But i somehow feel like there's a lot of mental masturbation going on. So feel free to bring your arguments against boobs forward. Maybe some nice drama will develop from that!
And yes, of course i'll continue drawing boobs, don't bother :-) |

I absolutely second that! For mediocre coders like myself some boobs are sometimes the only way of making it on side A of a competition results release ;)
I'd like a "boobs and dragons obligatory" gfx competition in 2014, maybe even + "bunnies" since those were considered the "new dragons" some years ago. |

Well, sexual identity is part of the absurdity of truth. E.g. Baudrillard promotes the use of objectivism to analyse and challenge art. It could be said that the characteristic theme of the works of Joyce is the common ground between society and class.
The subject is contextualised into a Baudrillardist simulation that includes reality as a paradox. But Sartre promotes the use of objectivism to show sexual identity.
If one examines pretextual theory, one is faced with a choice: either reject the conceptualist paradigm of reality or conclude that sexuality has objective value, but only if consciousness is interchangeable with narrativity; otherwise, we can assume that sexuality is impossible.
It could be said that the example of constructive narrative intrinsic to Ecos The Name of the Rose is also evident in The Aesthetics of Thomas Aquinas, although in a more self-sufficient sense. Humphrey states that we have to choose between textual postmodern theory and the semioticist paradigm of reality. |

I guess the main argument against is that they will serve to shut out women and perhaps gay people from the scene. There was some earlier Algorithm demo with porn animations where people voiced their objections and said that they can't show this demo to their wife, and the boob pics can be seen as a part of this problem. Since we're not basement-dwelling geek teenagers any more, we should really be more open to different people that might be interested in demos and other scene productions.
@Jailbird Yeah, The Postmodern Generator is lots of fun, right? I've studied some humanities stuff and these people really write like this.. |

Does nudity shut out women or gay people from any other part of life? If something is tasteless or uninspired, I'd guess it shouts out everyone who has an ability to objectively judge a medium, regardless of gender or sex-orientation. If the nudity is graceful and aesthetically pleasing, what's the harm really?
Porn, well, that is another story, but I don't see too much obscene/pornographic scene productions nowadays anyway. |

Both nudity and pornographic materials create a sexualized, objectifying, and hetero-normative atmosphere. The girl pics have heavy makeup and their tits out, because they're sexualized objects. Any pictures of the sceners that made the demo will typically show their faces only, because they're subjects. |

The human body is the greatest work of art in the world!
And the female body is the greatest of the greatest! |

Yep, but that is not a scene-only phenomenon, we are basically a small-scale projection of any general male-influenced faction from a modern society. If heavy makeup and tits out is an encouraged, approved and often utilized public appearance of a woman, no wonder we're mimicking it.
That said, in my experience the demoscene in general is quite accepting when it comes to female (or LGBT or any kind of non-male/non-heterosexual) sceners, so I don't think that the nudity in releases is an influencing reason of the low number of women on the scene, far from being an important ground of their discouragement. Sexual objectification has a less evident part in our scene than in a summer blockbuster PG movie.
P.S: the only reason I don't prefer C64 boobs is because the low resolution. Bring'em detailed, I say! |

I would add that its each to their own. Dont know what other people think, but i do things the way i want to without considering satisfying others. If that gets low votes because of this, then so be it. I dont care :-). I dont need to satisfy homosexuals by creating demos featuring man pics just the same as i dont need to satisfy straight perverted people with porn pics :-) i do this because i want to . |
