    Note the subconscious. It's a fact that that position
    causes the viewer to think about rape--whether they're
    conscious of it or not. Look in any teen magazine and
    you'll see tons of girls in that position, too.

    bah.

    Seriously, though, take a look in any teen magazine and
    you'll see tons of girls in ads sitting with their knees
    together and their ankles spread apart. It triggers a
    sexual urge (which obviously helps to sell products) but
    the urge is such that it also triggers an urge to be violent.
    Hence, rape.

    I think you're reading way way too much into that.

    No I think Rikku's leg positioning is intentional, and it wouldn't surprise me if that rape thing is actually true. If the two were conciously related by Square, or teen magazines I'd be fairly shocked though. I think it's more of "Hey that looks cute".

    I say what I think. If you disagree, then that is up to you.

    i agree with optuim.
    i dont wanna rape her i just wanna kill her when i see her standing like that. so i guess it just i=gnites the violence in me!!!

    optuim is totally right!!! thats exactly why they do that. sex sells everything.

    lulu is sooo sexy, i buy everything with lulu on it.
    i threw a fit in a game store until the young guy working there sold me the lulu poster right off the store wall!!!

    and dont insult witches... we have feelings too! :freak:

    You people come up with the most cocamaney nonsense, I swear.

    If a game character does that to you, Pixie, you may wanna seek professional help. That's so insanely overboard.

    Chill out, Abom. It's not a big deal, just an observation,
    and I'm pretty sure pixie was just joking around. The
    whole rape thing is taught in like 9th grade psychology
    classes.

    I'm not upset, I just think everyone overanalyzes every single thing about these games. I mean really, they positioned her legs so you would wanna rape her? Come on. I dont neccesarily doubt that it could be interpreted as such, but thinking that Square did it on purpose is just... weird. And freaking out over it is weirder.

    I'll ignore the rape comments and skip to the point.

    I think Lulu's character was great, and I could see how she would be considered attractive, even without the unecessarily low cut dress.

    Ah, ha! I guess that's is the real reason she a bit harsh.

    (SPOILER) her first summoner died in the Calm Lands and she blames herself

    That's one of the reasons, yeah. That, coupled with (SPOILER)the death of Chappu and Wakka's constant references to Tidus reminding him of Chappu and the fact that (SPOILER)she believes she's going to lose Yuna, who is like a sister to her.. Plus, some people just cant handle living in a world of constant death with a smile.
