While we're on the subject, I am also including Spiteful Professor (I'm certain these are recolors of another item, I just haven't stumbled across the original yet and this is currently on my mind because of the opening of Torii's Gateway and these items being included.
The Pose in question is this "Hairy Limbs" pose, which makes a lot more sense when you read it as to what it's supposed to be, but the fact of the matter is, when I tried it on and saw this:
My first thought wasn't hair.
My first thought was a much more serious issue that I shouldn't have to bring up in this situation.
Other recolors might look more like 'hair', but the coloration here (and I hope there isn't a pale orange or a pink version out there) looks far too much like scarring and a lot less like hair.
Especially considering the placement.
I get that gaia has some more 'gorey' items; I've got a couple, and yes, I love them.
But that's gore.
This is a serious issue that millions of people deal with on a regular basis and this should simply not exist as an item an avatar can wear.
Seriously.
It boggles the mind how this actually made it through screening without a red flag popping up.
Edited @ 11:11 PM CST, 9/24/2014 :: I am adding this note because it is possible that people are misconstruing my opinion based within. I am not asking Gaia to remove this item, or any other items. I am merely hoping that bringing this to light may allow for Gaia to look at what they put out a little more carefully. I am not saying that they should quit putting out whatever they want or cater to anyone-- simply that I would like them to keep possible issues in mind when putting items like this out.
