Kaed Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) With the recent PR that removed 'kitty ears' from the game, here https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/9158 the subject of a borg player that was tangentially related due to their custom skin came up. Since discussion of that seemed out of place in the scope of the PR thread, I moved it here in an attempt to bring up the subject. I hope this is the appropriate place. Per XanderDox: I wish to note that both the Admins and Devs have been complicit in cat-girl cringe, specifically allowing a staff member to have a set of custom cyborg sprites that are all a Cat Girl, including a Catgirl Surgeon and Bartender. The Catgirl custom borg sprites should be removed too if you are removing cat ears from all players, --- And I posted this comment before deleting it to move it here: Veronica also doesn't really fit into the normal mechanical aesthetic for a borgs, either. It is basically a little roomba with a holo projector on top, but interacts with the world around her as if the hologram was a solid object. If it performs surgery, how is it reaching the top of the operating table? Why is it able to block pathing for people who could realistically just walk over it? How is it serving drinks as a bartender when it is shorter than the counter? We have solid light the technology in the holodeck, but that requires a special room, and the borg sprite clearly has the wavery style that non-solid holopads use. It was a bad gimmick for a custom sprite in the first place, and requires way too much suspension of disbelief if you put more thought into it than 'haha catgirl nursie', and we should be taking the time to rethink it if we are doing a purge of 'catgirl cringe' Edited June 18, 2020 by Kaed
Arrow768 Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 Closing this as this is not a policy suggestion but a complaint about a specific item of a specific player. If you have issues with a decision reached by the custom item team, make a staff complaint.
