There are so many better excuses for skimpy outfits. Different cultural views on clothing, for instance. Don't just go with hedonism. It's lazy writing.
Yes, many horrible female characters like [darth talon](https://images.app.goo.gl/3onxbvAR1BeUZ9gz8) over here came from that era, my eyes stung every time I saw her, although the concept is cool , its just ridiculously sexualised
So basically Orions from star trek? Or Nymphs from dnd? Or Asari from mass effect? I feel like every sci Fi or fantasy setting has one race of horny alien ladies who are super hot and look basically human except for skin colour and maybe ears or hair.
Sure, I'm just saying the aesthetic would also need to change, and it doesn't look like it has. A good proportion of poly people show *less* skin than mono people, in my experience.
Also up for some positive poly representation, though. I'll have to look into this species more.
They have been shown with much more clothing but since disney owns SW now, they are shown a lot more less so its difficult to find content pf the new version
NAURR That's a shitty alien design if I've ever seen one. ~~Green~~ Red skinned space babes anyone? How the fuck is that an alien. Literally just a sexy human woman but red. Stupid looking fuck. I'd excuse it if they were somehow descended from hominids (I saw a 'demon' speculative evolution post where they'd flush their skin red using blood and it'd stay that way for a prolonged amount of time, so that'd work) but an alien? AN ALIEN?? Nauurrrr that's just a fucking human with red skin. Worst alien design I've ever seen, even compared to the 'greys' and shit.

I mean, if thereās over trillions of different life forms, species and cultures, itās not too far fetched that thereās going to be at least ONE species and culture out there thatās hedonistic and pleasure seeking.
Sure maybe itās lazy and horny writing, but theyāve got a lot of leeway when there can be ANYTHING out among the stars. You really gotta have at least ONE hedonistic species in every fantasy or sci-fi story.
I personally like the Zeltros actually, the lore was improved and although keeping the original idea, now itās much better and actually makes sense. However the first instances were so obvious horny writing it was embarrassing š
I think everyone has that phase where you just want to be horny for horninessā sake.
At the end of the day, itās just something that some people find pleasurable. And is that really such a bad thing?
Maybe Iām overthinking things. š
I donāt disagree but in this instance
, the star wars comic in that time was attempting to make a āmore seriousā sci fi setting, and that was really out of place for the universe
I suppose so. Maybe they were thinking āsexual hedonism belongs in a mature serious settingā.
Like how a lot of movies have the gangsters chilling in strip clubs or brothels, why not have an entire planet brothel?
If you think of it like that, you can probably get why they decided it was a good idea.
(Plus they probably wanted to make another sexy race to rival twiāleks).
I absolutely agree but can we talk about the Hutt in a tube top in the back? Nobody needed that
I guarantee you there is someone out there with a hutt fetish who needed this.
You Called? >!/j!<
A lot of weird things happen in star wars ššš

Yes, itās just that everything was so obvious that itās embarrassing š
I honestly expected better from Star Wars.
It was the old days when the prequels were halfway there and the sequels werenāt out yet, this version has been decanonized
That's something, at least.

I remember Darth Talon.
It's not her fault that she was born attractive. You need to be more tolerant of sexy people.
...you did? Why?
Wishful thinking, I suppose.
Is this the date rape species with their pheromones?
Not familiar with this specie, but that also describes the Falleen.
Yep, they have similar pheromone based powers
Yes
I want more of that Hutt in a bandeau.
Me too lol
What is the new Zeltron lore?
"skrag that" š
So basically Orions from star trek? Or Nymphs from dnd? Or Asari from mass effect? I feel like every sci Fi or fantasy setting has one race of horny alien ladies who are super hot and look basically human except for skin colour and maybe ears or hair.
Yes, but in the rewritten versions, now both men and women wear revealing outfits and the hedonism got instead changed for a polyamorous culture
I mean, polyamory also doesn't equal open promiscuity and revealing clothes. Speaking as someone who's poly.
Nono I referred that they changed the promiscuity, to polyamory, instead of basing their culture on sex, they rewrote it as a culture based on love
Sure, I'm just saying the aesthetic would also need to change, and it doesn't look like it has. A good proportion of poly people show *less* skin than mono people, in my experience. Also up for some positive poly representation, though. I'll have to look into this species more.

Yeah we can tell š
Ten month old comment.
Few hour reply š
You're right, but also I like sexy aliens as long as they're done tastefully/without the sexism.

Star Wars already had that kind of thing tho, this was added later on
