It's feeling more like Hawaii already, seriously those offended, most likely have never been to the beach and should go. It's like they can't take a strong, fit body being shown.

Isn't Kotaku that site that regularly complains about sexualization of women in video games? Why are they encouraging sexualization of men - isn't it a bit hypocritical

That's just how Patricia Hernandez and Kotaku operate.

Isn't the fact that people are extremely butthurt over the fact that he's not covering his pecs and abs along the same lines of sexualization of women? In other words, the "people" butthurt are reacting to it partly because it's not a woman when in reality they'd rather it be a woman who is almost naked. It makes sense if you believe that's all Kotaku goes for, not that I would know or care though. It's enlightening fact that people are getting butthurt over the fact that he's in the franchise and showing off his muscles. Twisted Evil

And absolutely delicious.

Although I'm more for Lt. Surge bara than him honestly.

Cannot wait for Sun and Moon!

I don't see anyone in this thread saying he needs to put clothes on, just people pointing out how Nintendo would have censored this in America if it was a woman. Given all the censorship information been getting about #FE's Western release it probably stings even more at the double standard.

As far as Kukui goes, it's a bit surprising to hear Tumblr going crazy over him. He seems more like a guy bara fans would go after instead of Yaoi fangirls. Looking at his pixiv page, ignoring the American pictures, the only Japanese pictures I've seen were by a bara artist. Guess it's a cultural difference. I'm more surprised they kept his Japanese name more than anything else.

I'm not liking this Kukui character at all but not because he has his shirt off and is showing off his abs for all the world to see no it's because he doesn't even look like a professor of any sort he looks more like the kind of guy that kicked the real professors butt and then stole his lab coat seriously he just looks more like a professional surfer then an expert on Pokémon.

I'm going to haft to disagree with you on that one from my experience Bronies arguing that there pony is the best are the most annoying people on the Internet it's like they never even bothered to learn anything from watching the show a show that's all about friendship and kindness not putting one pony against the other in nonsensical ways. However I will say that Yaoi fan girls are the second most annoying people on the Internet. The Internet you can't live with it and you can't live without it. Rolling Eyes

Though I hope the people on here know that a flat chest is much more acceptable than a full one in terms of nudity in society! That's why Nintendo didn't change it.

And god, did you SEE some of those character sprites for female trainer NPCs in ORAS? The battle girl's crotch is in your face! A lot of love for "sexy" male characters in video games etc. recently was because in the recent, recent past there were hardly any video games that appealed to those who like men sexually, and it was much harder to be open about it. It's good that people can be more open about what they like now!

Is there just no dress code for professors in the Pokemon world or what? If it was a woman she would have been sent straight home to change or suspended from her job!

Twisted Evil You do realize this and all kinds of sexualization of men is a drop in the ocean compared to sexualization of women correct? Putting aside the moral compass, it's pretty obvious who MOST of the people are that are opposed to a bare chested, arguably handsome man showing his chest muscles. Rolling Eyes

Neither do I. My statement was in regards to someone speaking about Kotaku and what they normally post. Rolling Eyes

Woah surfer dude professor, don't get why anyone is hot and bothered about it or even why anyone is trying to sexualize it ether, but if he if like a surfer dude or a hippie, that would be awesome!

As for the comments saying it wouldn't fly if it was a woman, I wouldn't mind if the professor was a surfer girl in a swim suit ether.
(Though that could be because I know of some professors that are like that, have swim suit on and when works over run outside onto the beach)
I mean seriously its pokemon.

One thing this is leaning me to belive is, that this game is set in hawaii or jamaica, I could be wrong though.[/b]
