Just to throw this out here:
The edit made in the other thread is still quite tasteful and beautiful. It's well edited, and mostly allows the image to remain the same while appeasing everyone, except people who just want to see breasts hanging out from behind their avatars.
So what is this side of the argument really about? Is it about defending the art? Is it about telling everyone who disagrees that they're an idiot? Is it about wanting to see smooth round funbags uncensored on the avatars?
By my understanding, it's about defending the artist's original design and the people who appreciate it for what it is. The last two times a major change happened to an item after it was released, there were exceedingly ugly lashbacks and people regretting they had not spoken up when the early complaints were coming.
This time, we're going to see to it that the artist understands that their original work is loved and respected, and that changes--if any--should only be made after the initial outcries have settled down.
And I commented in the other thread that the suggested edit would be an excellent direction to take if it is decided that a change
must be made.
