Re: The Official Elora Fan Club
It didn't actually take much time to find all that Elora art. There's a ton of it right here:

Why should fauns wear pants? That's like saying everyone with hair on their head should wear hats.

Well, that is assuming any intelligent creature in any fantasy universe would carry human-like decency laws and wear coverings. As much as I think it would be cool if everyone walked around bottomless, it would be strange. At least wear a dress or a kilt.

Re: The Official Elora Fan Club
I think you're over-analyzing this. You forget that Spyro is also a cartoon (in video game form, but a cartoon nonetheless). And cartoons, especially fuzzy ones, don't need to wear pants. Case in point: every major Loony Toon (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, etc.), many Disney characters (Donald and Daisy Duck, Chip and Dale, etc.). This setting isn't realistic in any way. Why should it be realistic in terms of our own notions of decency?
Moneybags doesn't wear pants, Hunter doesn't wear clothes at all, and all the Manweersmalls have on is hats. Why should Elora be any different? She's covering the only part of her that would need covering in her cartoony world.

Of course.
But I'm refering to the fan art the illustrates Elora with a anime style that is supposed to depict what a fuan should look like if you were to make a real portrait of them. However, I guess rule 34 in this case can explain some the fan art's intentions.

Re: The Official Elora Fan Club
Not all anime is of questionable content.
As for the art itself, I don't recall seeing anything questionable in it. Believe me, when you see real rule 34, you'll know it (and probably wish you could pour bleach in your ear). Fur hides a lot of things (I hate to be blunt, but how often can you tell what's under a female dog without having to look closer than anyone but a vet wants to look? I imagine the same applies here).

Fauns are more like humans than dogs.

Re: The Official Elora Fan Club
Not on their hind ends.
Still, you seem to be making an unnecessarily big deal out of this. Elora doesn't have pants on officially and there was nothing questionable in any of those drawings that I noticed (I wouldn't have posted them otherwise).

Re: The Official Elora Fan Club
The Fur itself seems to cover it anyway.

Re: The Official Elora Fan Club
No worries, RiverHippo. Arguing is kind of what forums are for, and I was doing it right back at you, anyway. I should stop forum-hopping when I'm so tired.

I could argue all day. But I'm always thinking of the possible tension brewing on the other side of the computer. Sometimes it's not worth it with some people. Know that you can say whatever to me, I can take it.

Re: The Official Elora Fan Club
Say, isn't this supposed to be a topic about Elora, who's from a set of games for kids, on a forum that contains a lot of kids? Let's keep things appropriate and get back on topic, shall we?
