Ahaha, I don't know if open source video game breasts is an improvement over the actual project or not! At least there would be no touching if that were the case, right? ;)
But I can't help but feel there's some common sense intuition running here that says that some part of thinking "women desire to be desired" isn't right.
I had such a strong, visceral reaction to that particular comment. It's difficult to articulate exactly WHY it upset me so much (beyond the obvious "woman as object of desire and nothing else" connotations, I mean), but I am glad that I'm not the only person who found it pretty wrong and unnerving. It's hard for me to be articulate about this subject, because I tend to speak with my emotions rather than my brain when I get riled up, but I think that makes it a topic worth discussing. If we don't speak out about it, who will?
