Thread: Shirtless Ventus and Aqua's lower back: a double standard?

  1. #1

    Default Shirtless Ventus and Aqua's lower back: a double standard?

    In Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Square Enix allowed Ventus to go shirtless in his awakening, but they forced Aqua to cover up her lower back. Do you see this as a double standard?
    Is that your final answer?

    Aqua's outfit looks ridiculous with that much back exposed. Besides, there are more fangirls that wanna see shirtless Ven than there are fanboys who wanna see topoless Aqua.

    I'm kind of confused as to why Ven is shirtless in his Awakening in general.

    And this.


    "It is a well-known fact that all heroes in all tales disliked vegetables as children.
    Their legend begins with their overcoming of this weakness, and then continues with a journey filled with hardships.
    That noble vegetable, the onion, lives on as a symbol of hardships overcome, and as the mark of a true hero.

    No, anyway, because they wouldn't have gotten through the T-rating with naked titties, and they wanted to sell games.

    Direct your blame to the perversed society we live in that thinks sex is worse to show on TV than murder is.

    And why does Donald never wear pants?

    I actually would have rather had Aqua cover up her upper back, but that's just my personal opinion.

    As for why Donald doesn't wear pants, well, that's because he's an anthropomorphic duck, not a human; human characters have to cover up, but anthropomorphic animals don't.
    Is that your final answer?

    Well, perhaps, even though nudity for animals is not considered shocking, perhaps he has a shirt on because again, he's anthropomorphic.
    Is that your final answer?

    Its not really double standards, that's like saying, "Why do boys go topless when swimming but the girls don't?" Although I don't think the men would complain if women started swimming topless.

    So why does he wear a towel on the lower half of his body when he gets out of the shower.

    He has to dry off.
