As the title says, I'm disgusted with the soft-core porn cartoons on the MMORPG home page. Young girls with gigantic boobs spilling out of their clothes. Short-short skirts. Skin tight swimsuits. I'm sure there are plenty of other websites for those who like to look at these types of pictures.
Is there any way to turn them off?
It's just an easy way to get a basement-dweller's attention. No different than soda commercials in the 90s.
I'm an old school Geek/Nerd, where I read comic books growing up, and Every Male was this Buff Dude in a speedo and skin tight body suit, and all the Females were wearing, pretty much the same thing, but with more "Skin" color showing.
Love me Comics, I enjoy the current trend with Anime, as to me it is just another art style to enjoy, no different in my book from enjoying the transition from golden age comics to the edgy art of the 90's, the dark noir style, even the massive diversity of art styles in web comics these days.. all of which are something to appreciate the artistic talents of those that make this.
So for me, this is more like witnessing evolution of art styles in action, as opposed to anything negative, I am find is fascinating.
Personally, I rather an MMO have a more cartoonish style to it, that way the graphics can age much better, than trying to be cutting edge realism, I absolutely adore the art of Crowfall for that very reason.
But again, to each their own.
I recall being "enthralled" by this temptress in my youth.
Just trying to live long enough to play a new, released MMORPG, playing New Worlds atm

I have that very movie in my collection! It's coupled with "night hunter."
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."
Yeah, back in the day we liked real women, strange that.
Yah.. real
well real-ish I guess.. LOL.
Egotism is the anesthetic that dullens the pain of stupidity, this is why when I try to beat my head against the stupidity of other people, I only hurt myself.
I legit have no idea what peoples problems are with tight outfits and some cleavage.. when MMO's started with this.

Cleavage and log shapely legs are as old as can be. The usually belonged to an evil magic user or witch of some sort. That's not an issue, as sex has always been a thing.
These days you've got the very adult sex-bodies with very young, child like faces. And add those voices, young beyond teenage years. I mean, they sound like they're under 10 years old. THAT'S a problem, when the minds of the very young are turned into thinking that they belong in the world of sex. All grown up and everything.
Sheesh all these posts about the OP's gripe being just about sex. It wasn't. It's about the sexualization of children which is very common in anime and eastern MMOs.
It's not about Baywatch nor the prudish hypocrisy of being fine with violence but not fine with sex.
It's about fantasy pedo shit which should be just as messed up for boomers, millenials, Gen Z or whoever.
It's something anime fans turn a blind eye to or rationalize away as just being a cultural thing and for that reason somehow OK.

Censoring media does not protect children from pedos, Jail does. It's funny because people complain about anime being associated with that but the same people never do anything in real life against real child predators.
Fuck censorship, people who don't like certain media can look the other way. THe whole children sexualization seems to be the new scapegoat for censorship. How about doing something in real life instead and actually protect them against real people and not pixels?
Besides, i don't think this conversation has anything to do with the OP. He is annoyed by anime ads, he can use adblocker.

Right. Let's have Hentai on Saturday morning TV 'cause "fUCk CEnSorShIp." What an idiotic take.

trying to air it on saturday morning tv is an idiotic take for sure. Go catch some real predators and leave cartoons alone. And again, this whole thing is about an advert, just adblock it.

As I understand it, these characters are supposed to be something like 300+ years old or somesuch.
In short they are just the Eastern/Anime versions of things like Pixies, Sprites, Nymphs, even Halflings and Elves, which are supposed to look eternally young and even childlike, which have been in our art and folklore for eons.
If that was supposed to be an actual underaged child, then I would have a very serious issue with it, but, as I have been informed, they are not, it's fantasy, and they are not even human, they are often very old beings in eternally youthful bodies.
Can someone back me up on this, or correct me if I am wrong.

I used to notice things like this, and all kinds of things might need attention, so I'm definitely not one to say. However, I've devoped an ability to tune out most things on the web that I'm not focused on. It's as if it's just a bit of background noise. I probably miss some good and bad things, but for the most part, this skill keeps me reasonably content.

Japan uses the “Oh, she looks 12 but she’s actually a 2000 year old mage cursed to forever look like a child” trope to claim that technically this wouldn’t be pedophilia.
