Boobs and Sluts is mine.
@Quinch, I am told that in the Korean market, men playing this hypersexualized avatars is HUGE. The game market is heavily male over there.
The truth is, no one who is in Korea at NCSoft is going to understand the fuss. This is business as usual for them. They are not even thinking, they are merely going "this sells hugely in Korea and China, it will sell hugely in the US!" We're not going to shame NCSoft over this; they simply will not understand why they should feel ashamed. However, that said, we can generate a lot, and I mean a lot, of negative pressure on them. They may not understand why they are getting it, but they will understand it is happening, and a quick check by their PR firm will show them exactly who is behind it. The message should be plain: this is going to continue to happen until they sell or lease the IP of CoH. And if the message isn't plain, some simple internet sleuthing will lead them here, where we spell it out in blatant black and white.
However, the hypersexualization of children in Boobs and Sluts, and portraying it as kiddieporn is going to be a really tough sell when virtually every episode of Toddlers and Tiaras and Here Comes Honey-Boo-Boo has real live toddlers who are every bit as tarted up and hypersexualized, and that's playing every week in primetime on "respected" cable networks. I wish I could say otherwise, a couple of those costumes are far, far from innocent, but there it is. I don't think we can get that particular dog to hunt, so we should probably concentrate on the one that will.
