German missionary stock? That makes it better?!?!

No German missionary stock doesn't make it better, just different.

And I don't quite get the "emotionally and sexually repressed" bit. OK, there is that wonderful "British reserve", but from somebody who likes to make breasts out of polygons, I'll stick with being subdued.

Well, you're British, so of course you think you're not emotionally and sexually repressed.

But compare the British culture with that of the French, or Danish, or Swedish, or Spanish, or Italian and there has been a vast difference across the cultural arena through the centuries. As exampled by works of art, etc. Not saying that every Briton is sexually repressed, but the majority are, and have been - hence your wonderful "British reserve" and old school boy traditions, etc, etc, etc... A stereotype, but like all stereotypes there is some core truth to it. Just like the stereotype the English have of Aussies that we are descended from Convicts: some are, some aren't.

So I make breasts and other nude bits - who cares? My DMODs have a warning on them - suitable for those over 18. If the player ignores that warning, then that's the player's decision. I find it strange that people think I shouldn't put the things in SOB that I did, the loading screen gives you a clear idea of what to expect. If you don't like nudity, don't play the DMOD - simple

And you should've seen the things that didn't make the DMOD, well then again, maybe you shouldn't

I always find it interesting to see who vocalises the loudest about the use of sexual imagery and allusion in works. As a theme and subject area, sex produces some of the most polarised reactions.
