To be honest, Shabanna did what any parent would do if they were paying attention to what their teenager was playing and they were curious. She thew the exact description into a search engine and looked to see what would come up. Kudos. Unlike most parents we are going to deal with if they are pissed, she is at least reasonable and pointed it out.nd the results of a Google search are hardly conclusive evidence of anything, if you put in "leather harness", which I believe are in the game for horses, you'll get very similar results to what Shabanna posted.
As for the "leather harness" it is most certainly not on a horse when -I- have seen it. Is it for a horse? You tell me.
I actually feel very offended that you believe that just because I am an adult and that is the first thing that came to my mind when I saw someone wearing something entitled 'a daring leather body harness' that the first leap of logic I made was a something for a BDSM lifestyle, THEN followed by like a coroner's apron for torture devices...
And today, I imagined leather leaderhosen, or whatever it's called.
Just because I am an adult and I have seen and read extensively and have seen many printed descriptions because I am an avid reader does not mean that I cannot play in a PG-13 game. It means I am probably more prone to agree with people like Shabanna who want to be as careful as possible. If we agree that a sensual goddess is a not a good idea in such a setting, fine. I disagree but fine. However, there is a certain point where there are other things that come into question for the -same- reason. Blaming others for their "adult" thinking and using that against them is just.... dirty fighting. Why? Because I dared to say, "Well if people are offended, find a better word for what you are trying to describe than harness?" Just the very idea is just horrible, I know! It must be so adult, I recommended a thesaurus.
No offense to you Saradin. However, I think your opinion that adults cannot play in a place that is PG-13 is so very wrong and actually borderling on age descrimination. Just because we do not want bubble gum gaming and maybe a gun or two, so to speak, does not mean we want sexual contact throughout the streets. We were looking at something that -could- be seen a problem. Hence, discussing it. What you basically said to my eyes.. seemed to say that just because I am not 14 I should get my tail end out of here cause obviously I cannot control my rampant mind!
By the way Saradin, I adore you right now. I am so glad you said it. Cause I am so tired of people thinking it, and not saying the little things they want to say in their back of their mind on these sort of discussions. I may hate the opinion but I adore the person who said them. Thanks.
