The bad guys are into human trafficking. Even the three bandits are not, as far as I can tell. And that's supposed to be the big reveal.
Actually, I don't understand why the exile are first released on the island, and only then captured again to be experimented upon, rather than just being brought directly to the Solaris temple, but if it wasn't the case, there would be no game.

Exactly which 'bad guys' are into human trafficking?
Afaik no character in the game transports illegally captive humans across national borders for the purpose of enslavement.

One the Exiles are dumped on Wraeclast they are left totally to their own devices. Piety is not part of the legal process that sees the PC's exiled.

The fact remains that the stuff you are bitching about simply does not exist within PoE.

Now, will a mod please lock this before it degenerates into the last thread, where no amount of logical, reasoned argument could elicit a logical reasoned response (only personal attacks and derision) from the supporters of the ridiculous position opined by the OP.

How do you know that ?
Anyhow, Dominus is. Read any of the Exiles letters.

You may be a pedantic hair-splitter, but Dominus is purposefully sending exiles on Wraeclast to be used for virtue gems implantation experiment. That's what I was referring to. And it's not even relevant to the argument I was making anyway.

The PoE UI doesn't exist in PoE ?

Yeah, because the supporters of your own ridiculous position seems so much better ! Certainly no personal attack and no derision from them !
lol

I think I have a solution to this, make one of the sex slaves male and one female. There, equality for all! That is what feminism is about anyway... Equality.


Although, today it seems to be more about revenge than equality.

So you agree that no human trafficking is taking place?
Only human experimentation, on a par (or in excess of, given the fantasy element of PoE) with Nazi experiments?

You are being obtuse, I mean the sex slavery and human trafficking.
Not one of you has yet said "The figures on the UI are sex slaves because [fill in your proof here]" or "PoE depicts and endorses human trafficking when [fill in in your proof here]"

Hmm, no comment on the logical and reasoned argument part, the main point of the sentence.
Thank you for validating my observation.

Here is the last post I made in the other thread. perhaps you would like to comment.

That would be so ironic if I get banned for posting boobies, now :D. And quite hypocritical since the game has boobies too !

You are wrong and GGG is law around here.

Sorry man but there is a BIG diff between posting naked pictures on a forum and computer generated images of statues that happen to be nude (I don't think I see any nipples though...)

Again?

Can we report this or something?

When there is no evidence that she is, and no evidence that she is not, the right answer is “We don't know.”

I totally agree that you are an hair-splitter and that arguing about this with you is not only totally irrelevant to the subject of the thread, but also a total waste of time :).
If you are unhappy with my description of the events (for you convenience, “Dominus is purposefully sending exiles on Wraeclast to be used against their will for virtue gems implantation experiments”), please let me know. Else, we agree. End of story.

The game is without a doubt about survival of the strongest, the girls chained to the health globes obviously isn't strong enough to fight for their survival and would use sold as slaves/ used as currency.

and I was disagreeing with him on the basis no one except arguably Dominus and his servants were using slaves. You are now arguing that Dominus and his servants are not using slaves either, or something along those lines. It sure does not invalidate my point. Actually, if anything, it is strengthening it.

I cannot speak for others. I can only speak for me. I have never said so, because I do not think the figures on the UI are sex slaves (and I do not think PoE endorses human trafficking either). You would know, if you had read my original post. I actually called them pinups.
Can we agree they are pinups ?

Well, the fact is you are actually holding me responsible for what others have written on another thread. I think I answered every argument you made here reasonably and logically, and it is not my fault if the answer was deep down mostly “You are confusing me with Ganrao” ? I mean, I made it clear I did not have the same opinion as Ganrao as an answer to your very first post on this thread !

I am not sure I want to comment on anything you wrote before you acknowledge that I am new to this conversation and that you should not judge me by, or hold me responsible for what any other previous posters has said. Especially since you do not even seem to do more than just skip through my messages.

But really, I would be glad to discuss this with your wife. I trust she is playing PoE too, and will log on her own account to take part in the discussion.

(As an aside, you may have noticed, English is not my native tongue. I apologize for any language mistake I may make. If you are mentioning them to me, your are helping me improve and I will be thankful.)

Excellent idea ! I will use boobs from some screen-shot of the game next time. Not from the statue, though. I think I will use one of those dead miscreations on their dissection plates or something. Thank you for this brilliant idea. I mean, certainly posting screen-shots from the game is allowed by the forum rules, is it not ?
