    Heeding Lyoness's call, I went and made a pretty picture starring her Shadow Kin. Very lovely extensive set. (The cute dragon is OSO Pixie Dragon.) heart

    I just need to put this out here because it's eating me up inside right now: I love Linday's hairs, but their promos have always been borderline p@rnographic, and with the latest product ( https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-classic-loose-curls-long-hair-for-genesis-9-8-and-81-female), the're moving even beyond that. The character looks so cartoonishly over-sexualized, botoxed and plain dumb that I feel personally insulted as a woman. I'm deleting their stuff from my WL for now, there needs to be a line somewhere. 

    Aside from the motif, I really can't even guess what the hair would look like on a normal character. Where's the sense in that? No seriously, this screw needs to be rewound a few notches. And it's not just Linday (Linday is just the one where it hurts cause I like their stuff so).

    Did that after the Mediterrean Boat and Poses dropped. Made me puke. Not an attitude toward women I wish to encourage.

    yes

    I was on the brink when that dropped. Usually, I would have purchased the boat right away cause it was so wellmade and I do love boats, but since it was coupled with these hideous poses, I stuffed it into the back of my WL  so to speak, for when it would be extremely discounted. Should have read the signs better, like you did. Even a single cent is too much encouragement here.

    Yeah, I can't look at their promos too, even though the products are excellent, and in the end, I always put something else in the cart.

    would they be less confronting if man and woman instead of same sex?

    because honestly I don't see anything else different to other pose sets

    I am personally not interested in pose sets myself and they don't worry me at all

    yes the characters look like they have had lots of work done, that I agree

    No, it's not about the same sex couple, it's the general portrayal of women exclusively as the focus of a man's sexual attention. In the boat set, the poses are clearly not intended to portray a lesbian relationship but the male fantasy of one, where the same-sex attraction only exists and serves the male interest. It's a very common theme, unfortunately.

    But even that put aside, it's the women in general in their promos. The lips and the b@@bs get bigger and bigger, the faces stupider and stupider, and there's never ever any other facial expression than what they probably think is sultry. It's disrespecting and objectifying. I would hate it if they portrayed men in the same objectifying way, say, as always horny and too stupid to think one straight thought. These are plastic pleasure dolls but they want to make believe they're real people.

    Edit: Well, obviously not real real, but you get my drift ...

    I don't want to jump on a bandwagon, but have to say I've been buying their hair despite the promo images, rather than because of them. And the clothing, I feel, does not remotely suit my less than curvy favourite character.

    Linday are not the only ones. I did rather feel the 'IQ = Off' switch had been flicked with this P3Design promo:

    Regards,

    Richard.
