I like the picture think the covering up makes sense because of minors using the site but found it fun

I think a good start would be making the female herdbeast look more like a animal (which happens to be shaped like a human) rather than a glamour model. We're talking hairiness and dirt here, not a well-coiffed bleach-blonde hairdo. The pose is wrong too; a herdbeast on all fours is about as likely as a cow on two legs, surely?soltakss said:
I can imagine a decadent Lunar training a herdbeast to pose like that, and cleaning it up to look human, for the shock value... but why would a Morokanth bother? Far as they're concerned, herdbeasts are just meat animals.
If people have problems with a picture of one being milked, how would they feel about one shown being butchered and roast?
There was an excellent picture of herdbeasts carrying a morokanth on the front of (iirc) Wyrm's Footnotes 7 (a red cover). The herdbeasts were unkempt and looked like retrograde, blank-faced human beings, almost as if the artists had started with chimps/gorillas and worked forwards to meet a human going backwards.
What was particularly good about them is that they didn't really look like anything normal humans could relate to in any way.

Yes, I know the one - that was a much better view of things. The pic debated in this thread isn't so 'realistic': too clean, hair washed and brushed, no calluses, extraneous body hair shaved off - something funny going on there. I didn't know there were any Welsh Morokanth - perhaps New Zealand? Or maybe he's just about to enter her for Crufts. (If you'll pardon the expression).Halfbat said:

It would especially be offended if it realized it was just a beefy Jelmre... :twisted:

You need to increase your Glorantha lore! Jelmre do not have mouths, only a probuscis.
Go read the jelmre article!

Do a closer study of tapir anatomy, e.g. from GIS:

Not so bipedal/humanoid, no segmented snout, bulkier body, etc.

I think you misunderstand the word mature in the context you are 'trying' to use it.
Mature doesn't =sexist.
Thanks for that bit of insight. Really, that was refreshing. What I was talking about is that RPG's in general are about themes that require a mature audiance. Is it worse to be a sexist or a killer? Since most RPG's, I aware of, glorify killing, stealing, and what have you in the context of being "heroic', a little sexism joke shouldn't cause all the fuss it has. I'm not saying it isn't sexist, it is. But then it wouldn't be funny, now would it?
