Because rather than looking like a character piece for a rescue scenario, it just looks like a sexual abuse / rape victim set up. While I've no doubt lots of women have been tied up and raped over the years, I don't particularly want to game it.
In the same way, I'm sure a lot of captive men were stripped, tied to stakes, then castrated. I don't really want a figure of that either.

It's not a prudish thing over the tits, more a feeling that the subject matter is distasteful. I accept that's probably hypocritical coming from a man who's hobby is making tiny models kill each other... but I'm happy to be a hypocrite in this instance.

And yes, as a general thing, tits are great. :wink:


Well said that man.

Also I have kids and I want to be able to use all my figures when we game. This is not child friendly so it loses me as a buyer.

I'm really not bothered by the subject matter but, simply, don't think the sculpt (like most of Vinnie's bints) is up to the standard of his other stuff :|

That.

Out of curiosity, would all of the tits out aficionados be just as happy if the sculpt was of a guy tied to the post, naked from the waist down?

Depends how good the sculpt was, but on average no, however tits out doesn't equal penis, certainly not erect. Flange out equals penis. Tits are tits and have no equal.

I do have some cock out figs - Foundry Germans. I also have bloke tied to a stake in 1/72 plastic. Thinking about it if there was a kick arse sculpt of an Aztec execution, with priest ripping out the heart of a naked chap, then I would certainly get that. The main drive for me is sculpt quality, dynamism and uniqueness.

Really?! I know it's subjective and all but the Egyptians and female prisoners of war are right up there in the top bracket. I think there may be a debate about how palatable we may find certain elements concept wise, but in terms of sculpting, unless I'm missing something, these are top notch - Redhasslefreeboxesqe.

:lol:

I agree with SaigonSaddler that there is nothing wrong with the sculpting. Superior Technique, in fact. IMO.

The Tekumel Project has nude and semi-nude prisoners chained to columns. Both male and female.

Then why is her dress tied off to the side - clearly by her captor?

Well, if there was any doubt before of your misogynism I suspect the matter's now resolved - it's not enough that she may be a captive, oh no, she's guilty (of one thing or another). Bloody women, eh!? They all have it coming to them and deserve to be punished.
