Although much has been discussed about the topic, I feel like I need to share this once again with you guys from GGG. I absolutely believe that there could be a better, more ethical and comfortbale way of designing the HUD

So much has been shared, exposed and learned from inequality since past years that it's unthinkable to project such a cruel, cheap and sexist graphics.

And no, switching ladies for naked chained men will not fix it. The concerns would be the same: exposing beings as objects in a cruel way.

Path Of Exile is such a creative game. I remember becoming a closed beta supporter because of how refreshing the whole experience feeled and looked. It's been a while now and I can't help but feel awkward everytime I wish to live the experience again. It's been months since I played, but I'm always checking for a change in that sense, hoping I can comfortably save the world once again.
Surely you can come up with an attractive and ethically comfortable design. Monsters? Awesome people? Symbols? You know you can, I know you can.

With love and hope,

Should a game or movie ever portray again Andromeda s destiny ? Should we burn all the Louvre's paintings on the subject.

What makes you think those women are not evil witches imprisoned for killing and eating babies? Should we avoid portraying criminals?

What make you think they are not femen, whiningly showing their nakedness to prove everyone is equal and that everyone is a prisoner of this capitalistic world.

I fail to see how those arts are portraying inequality.

It is not like the whole game would portray weak women, it is actually the invers. Half the Exiles are female and also two of the strongest boss.

The marauder is chest naked while neither the Ranger or the Witch are. In an egalitarian non sexist world, shouldn't both female gender and male gender able to walk around chest naked?

From all I see, Men are more sexualized than women in this game yet you complain about the Female Hud thing.


If the concern is exposing beings in a cruel ways, What do you think about the exile killing those devourers and other animals. Animals don t know good or bad, Should we call a Bear evil in real life because he killed someone too close of his cave?

Should the game Portray an exile killing animals just defending their territory ?

Let the beating begin!

This is a game, not reality. Stop shoving political correctness morals into a game.

Chained ladies are a trademark of PoE, the same as piles of holocaust victims & 4x4 red boobwagon.
