Do his nipples offer player freedom and realism so far unseen in other nipples?

All of the whacked-out nutjobs that pissed and moaned over the superbowl halftime incident a few years back. Most americans are fucking insane when it comes to that sort of thing. Some bloodfest on TV or the news? A-ok. But a boob, OH NO, IT'LL DESTROY SOCIETY!! Fucking backwards idiots.

The problem isn't about the majority loving nipples, it's about the minority who doesn't who're pulling all of the levers in the country.

On subject, I agree we Americans are ass backwards. The pro-blood lust anti-woman's body thing baffles me everyday.

@blazer
how are we (ass-backwards)?
Pro blood?...those c@ck suckers came into our country and killed our people. they drew first blood. It's easy to forget that we weren't always at war. it started after sept.11th.
anti-women? Do you want your 6-11 year old daughter asking you why that lady is showing her privates to everyone on t.v? while it is true that we AMERICANS are prudes when it comes to boobs on t.v. you have to remember that children need to hold on to their innocents as long as possible. THE WORLD IS AN UGLY PLACE. VERY UGLY!!

Yes, people need to be as completely unprepared for the world as possible. The less they know about the adult world when they're finally thrust into it, the better off they'll obviously be.
BTW, the word you were looking for is "innocence", not "innocents". Literacy FTW.

it's not a matter of hate, it's a matter of censorship. Apparently you can show 90% of a boob, but if you're not showing the nipples, it's not a problem (case in point, darkstalker's morrigan?). I think it's absolutely ridiculous. If it's done in good taste I don't see why it would be a problem, but of course, the censors probably believe that displaying nipples in the media is impossible to do in good taste. If that's not it, I don't know what is.

I guaran-damn-tee that the vast majority of Americans (myself included) absolutely love nipples and have nothing against nudity and wouldn't be appalled if nudity was more accepted in the American society.
However, that same vast majority (myself included) are too lazy to try to rise up and change social taboos. Then again, it seems like every generation it gets closer and closer =)

I think it's more commentary on how this country is strung up by its balls by religious nutjobs who think it's dangerous to display an unclothed woman's body, but find it more comforting to tell children that violently killing the man they call their messiah brings them eternal forgiveness.

I've read all the comments and so far no-one's distinguished between genders. Do I take it that the nipple-lovers are talking hairy man nipples as much as rock-hard lady nips?
Speaking as a non-American, I love lady-nips, but can't say I'm a big fan of the moob, or any part thereof.

In all honesty, his points seems to be about Americans being uncomfortable with nudity, not the "ass-backwards censoring minority" or whatever you guys have called it. If you think you aren't, read the other half of his comment.
To everyone demanding sexual liberation of the woman's body: would you mind if your father walked into the room, naked, right now? I'm not saying all Americans are uncomfortable with nudity. I'm just saying that it's way more than the minority.

Its all about the nipples. Peter has issues. Isn't he a game maker. What can we expect in his games? Maybe a niplometer. The colder it gets the more excited they get.
