Svelte Clouded Senche-Leopard: inappropriate undertones?

Collins6542

Soooo... I have seen the new video for the Svelte Clouded Senche-Leopard and I have to bring up something I noticed. Yes, I am going to be inappropriate for a moment. Has anyone else noticed that the female Kahjiit riding the obviously male looking Leopard? Did anyone else think it had sexual undertones to it? Normally I wouldn't think anything of it, but I do know that game Devs do like to see how much they can hide in plain sight.

Examples of this in Previous games I can think of:
Ratchet and klank 2
Banjo kazooie
Kirby

    Being that they're not human, even of the same race, furry, and pixels....it would never have even occurred to me to look at it that way...Thanks A LOT! :|

    Unless I'm missing something in the fuzzed out picture, how can you tell it's an obvious male looking leopard? It's not as if we have anything to judge it against - like an obvious female leopard. I know irl they vary in size, however, even taking that into account, the leopard is still bigger than a rl one when scaled against human like character models. I mean, you couldn't even use any sort of large cat as a long haul vehicle.

    I know I know I didn't think of it at first either.... It then I began thinking about it and was like "oh cool the Kahjiit has the same markings as the..... Christ on a cracker." Then the moment of clarity struck. I would laugh if it were an attempt to have those undertones.... I do know game Devs are notorious for trying to hide things like that in plane sight.there are some doozies out there if you ever look them up.

    Thanks @Collins6542. It's actuality hosted on vine, which explains the length.

    Honestly, no I don't think there is anything inappropriate about it. I can see how the mounts "reaction shot" after being ridden could be seen as sexual but you know what... M rated game. Completely appropriate.

    Ah, yes. Although I do agree with this being appropriate due to the game having an M rating, I'm more curious on if people think it was a feeble attempt to display something with a sexual undertone.

    How is this is even an issue? Who notices or thinks about things in a game that way? It's like the mind-in-gutter idiots that were complaining about Champion Points being abbreviated CP because that is synonymous with child pornography.

    That's another thing I'm waiting to see what becomes of it... The suppression of the Leopards by the Kahjiits. #LeopardLivesMatter

    In real life , I feel like I work in a world of abbreviations due to working in local government public safety. In my years of working a beat, I've never once heard Child pornography abbreviated CP. I HAVE however seen many instances of illustrators, graphic designers, videogame developers make frivous attempts to incorporate "inappropriate" undertones in media. (Cartoons, video games, illustrations, etc.)

    So you Sir, are wrong. It's not "like" complaining about abbreviations CP being synonymous with child pornography. Bless your heart.

    Yeah, not sure what exactly it is you think you're seeing, but it just looks like a fuzzy picture to me.

    (Perhaps it would be different if one of them was ...inverted, There's literally nothing to see here.)

    Personally, I'm more disturbed by what appears to be a beret on the Kajhiit's head.

    So either provide a clearer picture, spell it out, or let it go, one of the three.
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...
