Possibly - its a rather interesting thought though :) i wonder if creatures like that are purposely hunted down and killed in the proper means as not to end up with an endless supply of beasts knocking at your door.

I don't think there's going to be nudity in the comic. The page says we'll see reality 20, not 3.

Please no. That was vomit-inducing enough the first time it was mentioned....
I'd floated the idea in the old forum that the color of everyone's genitals match their IME, and that Minmax does in fact have a bright purple 'worm'. Perhaps that the unique aspect of 'Our Reality'...

This is why society needs to be desentized to boobs.

If by "desensitized" you mean "allowed to see them as often as desired until the novelty wears off", I fully endorse this plan. I just hope you can stand to wait a few thousand years....

There are cultures where nudity is not an issue. Hell, I draw people nude and it is not an issue. It is really easy getting desentized to it.

I would love to see the day that the mere sight of a woman's bare chest doesn't potentially give me a boner. Maybe this is because it feels like I don't have enough skin but it's definitely because the concept of gender-exclusive rights ticks me off.

If anything I say offends you I am sorry. It is likely late and I am tired, or I'm upset and I am not thinking straight, and though I sincerely wish I could, I can't express myself in such a way that helps you be less of a crybaby.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Outlawing the visage of a female's chest is founded on the idea that mammary glands are sexual by nature, which is freaking stupid because that would make breastfeeding an act of pedophilia and incest. It gets even more absurd when "think of the children" is taken literally, because little girls don't even have the "offending" parts and the law (as I understand it) is forced upon them anyway. (If I ever hear someone in real life say that line in a context of nudity, I'll tell them they made me think of naked children.)

How would you like it if, in a world where we grow a second pair of arms from our armpits whilst coming of age, only girls are legally required to wear gloves on their armpits even during childhood because their extra arms can secrete silk? Meanwhile boys of all ages have no such rule at all because our extra arms don't secrete anything at all; also, it's considered indecent to hold hands or spin silk in public.

And to make this post on topic, I wish Thunt or any artist for that matter to incorporate non-sexual nudity into material intended for children specifically for the sake of protest. Unfortunately, the extreme violence of Goblins disqualifies it from being part of something like that.

I think any attempt to take the sex out of nudity so that children can be naked is only going to result in sexualization of children. Libido is more powerful than any other force; you won't win in a tug of war against it. The more you try to uphold the innocence of children as a desireable factor, the more likely you are to end up sexually fetishizing it.

English is not my native language, so I can not recognize common terms and phrases that english speakers use. Thank you for explanation though, I wouldn't even think along that lines. Speaking of which, this problem originates from people wearing clothes. As wearing clothes is something usual, then not wearing them would imply special circumstances (as sexual context). And women usually wear bras.

Nudist colonies and just about all of Europe would like to have a word with you, willpell. Like I said, such laws are founded on the idea that certain body parts are "naughty"; would you define 19th century "ankle porn" as proof that feet are sexual? The false sense of decency is only a means to let the tyranny of libido rule us with an iron wang; we must rebel! REVOLUTION! And to those that would look to the Bible as justification, was decency counted as an element when God told Adam & Eve to protect themselves with goat hides? No, the idea that clothes should be mandatory was conceived only when they ate the Forbidden Fruit that infamously bestowed upon them a sinful nature. Like all the most dangerous lies, decency laws are perversion masquerading as righteousness!

Gamecreator, you're welcome, but your're saying the same circular reasoning that I hear from all prudes on this subject: that a law is just because it is there. NO! When a law is unjust, it should not be! Also, I'm very sorry that this rant got out of hand and I hope it stops here.

Not a sinful nature, the knowledge of good and evil

Not arguing one way of another about the morality of nudity, Christianity or anything (there's a reason I stay out of controversy!). As you were.

My point remains that God never said anything about wearing clothes ALL THE TIME, much the same way he never gave a crap about same-sex anything.

Back on topic: I like that Thunt included Biscut with two characters that died before him. Somehow I picture myself only including faces that were alive at the same time.

Those two point are not contradictory, you know. What I say, that such social law originates from collective subconciousness. Actually this law reinforces itself as it exists, so can not be overthrown easily.

He never said anything because the first thing they did was feel shame for their nakedness. The tree gave them the wisdom to know if something was good or evil. The shame was because in the Bible, being nakey outside is inherently 'not good'.

The Bible is also pretty clear on the same sex thing.

Once again, not saying if this is "right" or "wrong" (I certainly don't agree with a lot of it, especially the same sex stuff), just what is actually in there.

Source: I'm a Reverend. Seriously lol. You can totally trust me... >:D

This is all better suited for Controversy! anyways so I''ll stop here.

Back to the comic.

So in theory HeadlinerMax could collect a lot of his alt's heads and carry them out of the MoM? For some reason I love this idea.

That could be rather interesting. Going back to you own reality with your own head as a servant. Thats one way to make yourself look immortal :P
I wonder if its the people in the reality that cant die, or if its the people cant kill by beheading (it does say cant die in the alts part though)
