"Can't voyeur what doesn't exist." The character does exist---as an observable, digital likeness of a human female.  The definition you provided does not support your claim here, but it is clear that you're more interested in the discussion devolving into pissy semantic tirade.

 

Needless to say, that definition is not the only one out there and I stand by my original statement.  Feel free to swap out 'voyeurism' for whatever term you think should apply---doesn't make it any less creepy.

It's not a digital likeness of a human female, not only does she not have the likeness of any real woman she also doesn't look like any human woman. 

The only thing creepy here is thinking that a fictional construct with a visual representation has rights, feelings etc and confusing it with real women. That's textbook creeper syndrome.

Good thing I never said it has rights, feelings, etc or confused it with real women.  Could say I dodged that strawman bullet but I didn't even have to move.

 

Good day to you, Ser or Madame.

You said it has rights when you mentioned voyeurism. That's an invasion of someone's privacy. If she has no rights then she has no privacy. If there is no privacy there is no voyeurism. Yes, good day

Well the article pretty much explains it all in one sentence. SE wanted to achieve a certain rating for SO5, I assume that was either T for teen or E for everyone, and that meant being more sexually modest than they would have to be if they wanted an M for mature rating.

100% purely commercial decision to achieve a certain rating to maximise audience potential.

Move along people, nothing to see here.

Why is this comment ignored, among all of you arguing about nothing between yourselves?

Because it's not true.



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

I don't see any reason to doubt the official statement.
