I have to keep reminding myself that some people aren't worth the effort

I was going to post this as a comment on the CoH comm, but then I remembered that far too many people on that comm haven't been worth the effort of late. Someone decided that the lead costume artist should be called "Sexist Jay" because of the female witch costume options coming in the Magic-themed booster pack for CoH. And, boy, they should get a real live woman working with him (as opposed to the fake ones like War Witch and Ex Libris, apparently). That said, I'm not above being bitchy and sarcastic in the brief response I did post over there. I did not, however, post the below post. So I'm putting it here.


You know, a lot of people back in the day complained about how sexist it was in EverQuest when the new female models they generated with Shadows of Luclin all had ginormous boobs. Turns out the model designer was a chick. Oops.

Comic book females in general have prominently displayed and barely covered chests. Not all of them, but then there are certain genres of characters that typically do. Black Magic Chicks, especially. This includes characters made and drawn by women, not just those that men come up with. And, let's be extra fair here. They've given everyone (straight, gay, male, female, all of the above, none of the above, other) plenty of eye candy in this game since it launched. (Not that I'd know or anything.)

That said, I'd like an option with the side-panels on the female witch costume filled in. And an option with a slightly higher bust line.
