Do I need to have a naked slave woman shackled to my mana pool?

So much ignorance...on all sides.

Why crap threads like this are never ever locked down instantly ? Do devs or mods having fun reading senseless replies for the hell of it ?!

Since there is no point for holding it.

Ohhhh please GGG, I disliked the way the Duelist wields swords, it strikes me as offensive and disturbing things suggests. Also did not like the ugly face of the Marauder.
I have an idea, why not put flowers and butterflies on the characters? Perhaps rainbow? Unicorns and ponies?

This is a stupid argument, and we are stupid to discuss this, I dislike the art of Diablo 3, you know what I did? I did not play.
The world does not revolve around you, not everything has to please everyone.
I do not like the way my console games are expensive in my country, I do not like the way some people dress, I do not like the way the pigeons fly.
What should I do?

freedom of speech/typing.

It's actually interesting reading this type of stuff. (too much time on my hands literally)

I understand that this is not a big deal - for you men.

I doubt it's a problem for most women as well. Honestly it just sounds like some people have to find things to be upset or outraged about.

It's up to GGG to decide whether this one idiotic image is worth risking losing 10-40% of their market.

Can you please stop being so evil and oppressive? It's fucking disgusting trying to censor devs/artist by doing the "market"-threat.

10-40%? Oh God. For a start I doubt there's that many girls who play this game, and even if there was not even 1% would care about this because frankly most women aren't so weak and pathetic to get upset over pixels.

The problem I have with this is that I don't believe the art is there to "point out to your girl how inferior her body is" or for "telling her that she is wrong for wearing clothes." That's just silly. I mean, does your girl look at the Mona Lisa and feel like she has to have a goofy ass smile on her face because that's what that painting is showing her? Put it in context, man.

I completely agree with you that they do not have any negative intentions with their choice of aesthetics. However, the fact remains that in our society today, (USA,) women ARE constantly over sexualized. Thus, until this is not the case, developers will unfortunately have to go out of their way to ensure that their content cannot be taken in a negative light. Sadly, good intentions are just not enough to make it ok.

Men are also shown in sexualized ways in all forms of media. I see just as many ugly men in advertising than I do ugly women (I.E not a whole lot). I also don't buy the whole "power fantasy" vs "sexual fantasy" bs. The fact is I do feel inferior to most every male portrayal i see in media. With that being said however I don't let it bother me, because I know that they are fake or part of the few who do look very good in society (all advertising is touched up as well). People will always find something to view in a "negative light", game companies shouldn't bend over backwards to please a very small minority of women (feminist), and thankfully they don't.

Oh no! The poor privileged middle-class white guy is telling us to just deal with it.

Is this supposed to be directed at me? I say this because I've not given out my sex, nor my race, nor what class I belong to.

Also if it is directed at me, two of them are incorrect assumptions :).
