Though I'll be sure to return to these posts once I have a Wii and RFF :)<br />Keep up with the good work!Synthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586465429914073682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287788030356551229.post-1082828237781532532009-05-04T12:22:00.000-04:002009-05-04T12:22:00.000-04:00Thanks for your insightful comment, Synth!

The poor never had the luxury of obesity. Furthermore, tanning was a mark of hard physical labour. The rich protected their skin from the sun's rays.<br /><br />Now, of course, Western culture has discovered that there was a sound medical reason for avoiding too much sun in the form of skin cancer. Furthermore, although obesity is unhealthy, being too thin is equally so. One wonders if humanity ever will find a happy medium in ANYTHING. We are creatures of excess in so many ways.Freyashawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00379748386863454385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287788030356551229.post-71118550221616158072009-05-03T15:24:00.000-04:002009-05-03T15:24:00.000-04:00The thing is that what is for the richer people, t...The thing is that what is for the richer people, that is considered beautiful. Centuries ago, the rich had food and therefore were nicely fat and round and pale. While now you need money to kepp fit and have a tan all year round, so these are the new models for beauty.<br /><br />While as for the anorexic models: it's the fashon creators who choose their models and they are mostly gay. So they choose females that look like young boys (thin & breastless). Isn't it ironic?Synthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586465429914073682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287788030356551229.post-8430958588014917992009-04-27T10:41:00.000-04:002009-04-27T10:41:00.000-04:00First of all, it's nice to know that people still ...First of all, it's nice to know that people still come to this site and watch the videos. Thank you!<br /><br />I have hundreds of screenshots that I would like to incorporate into various videos for the Rune Factory series. The two I created yesterday took three hours to make... such a lot of time for so trivial a result! If people are enjoying them, however, it makes it worth the effort.<br /><br />On a more specific note, if you look at your character's responses, you see that he IS uncomfortable with his own choice and tells her that it is merely a personal preference and so on...<br /><br />There is a world-wide political campaign on at present with respect to adolescent obesity. I can't help but think that Marvelous was induced to make its contribution to this 'education' process with Eunice's character and dilemma.<br /><br />Although I do understand that obesity can create all sorts of serious health issues, including diabetes, I still do not like the idea that Eunice will not even go to the beach in a bathing costume, as pretty as she is, because she is a little more voluptuous than that other girls. I personally never had to deal with any weight problems, but I have close friends who have and there is a cruelty in our cultural emphasis on extremely slim 'super models' in fashion.<br /><br />Other cultures and other eras did not share our obsession. All you have to do is look at art from the Renaissance to see that large, voluptuous women were considered beautiful...Freyashawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00379748386863454385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287788030356551229.post-68831591624973539882009-04-27T01:52:00.000-04:002009-04-27T01:52:00.000-04:00I completely agree that this heart event felt very...I completely agree that this heart event felt very awkward. I think it might have been better if she said something along the lines of, "I was thinking of going on a diet. What do you think?".<br /><br />That way you could decide to support her decision, or letting her know you think she is pretty regardless. Since it really is a self-esteem issue with her.<br /><br />The way they have it now seems wrong. You character is a nice guy, and it seems out of character for him to respond like that.<br /><br />Very odd indeed.D Figmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265361031113867154noreply@blogger.com
