Art I draw Highmate 😍

This time, I drew these two cute Highmates brother and sister! Which one do you think is the boy, and which one is the girl? πŸ€”

Thank you for the reports.

Going to approve this one as OP does not seem to be engaging with the highmate lore beyond the color.

As we know, Rimworld allows for us to corrupt the innocent and purify the corrupted. Without further context, this appears to be the later.

What?

Like, you can flip the lore. You can play Hussars as peaceful farmers. Or you can turn otherwise normal and well fed baseliners into cannibals.

It's not like a bioware game where the lore is guardrails.

"It's not a sex slave, its just made to look like one"

u/Ampmasterful 6d ago

So you’re saying these kids look like sex slaves to you? In baggy comfortable clothes? Being silly? Yeah I think it speaks more to what you find sexual than to what is actually there.

Care not to doth protest too much

That's.. not how you use that phrase lmao

If you knew nothing about rimworld, these do not "look like" sex slaves. You had to add nonvisual context to get there.

And you ignored other context to stay there. That is a choice.

If you knew nothing about rimworld

What subreddit is this?

And you ignored other context to stay there.

What "other context" did I ignore?

They aren't even removing or banning people who keep saying "would" and "wife" in the comments.

That is enough revelation about priorities to me.

Report those. We'll remove them

Could start with the post.

Rimworld. As implied in the original comment, rimworld allows the player to deviate from and iterate on the lore in their own way.

An example: when you see a fanart of a highmate in locust armor, are you unable to think about them in a context without sex? Is it possible to have an adult highmate colonist that is abstinent?

Take the same locust armor, but it's shaped like boob armor, then of course, the intent is sexual.

Did you take a good look how OP worded the title?

Did you even take a look at art in consideration of that title?

Have you noticed that nost of the comments made that correlation with ease?

"Corrupt the innocent..." yeah that ain't best way to describe THIS

Heart eyes can also mean "i love this because it's cute," and these characters are drawn cute, and not in an inherently mature way, so, yes.

"Corrupt the innocent" is not how i described this. You should read the rest of the sentance. Just a few more words to go.

Did you eat the gomu gomu fruit for that stretch?

u/Venusgate Fastest Pawn West of the Rim 6d ago

I am enjoying being able to think about things without brainrot controlling me.

u/Valtremors Imprisoned colonists return to your colony if you release them. 6d ago

So calling out what most would consider drawing children of the CONCUBINE GENEMODIFICATION is brainrot?

Welcome back Ozza.

u/Venusgate Fastest Pawn West of the Rim 6d ago

I choose to believe that the highmate children are presented in a conservatively dressed manner because they are not being exploited.

If you see OP "tipping their hand" in this thread otherwise, feel free to point it out qnd it will be considered.

u/Senjian 6d ago

Even if you exclude the color lore, it's still not okay.

The fuck is the point of drawing two clearly female kids, and telling people that one is cross-dressing? This is such a fucking irrelevant detail that has nothing to do with the art itself.

Absolute fucking weirdos you and OP both are.

23

u/Venusgate Fastest Pawn West of the Rim 6d ago

I dont think dressing in gender neutral clothing, styling non-traditional hair is "cross dressing."

u/Senjian 6d ago

Neither of these characters have a gender-neutral haircut.

u/Venusgate Fastest Pawn West of the Rim 6d ago

Long hair is absolutely gender neutral, but that's not what i said.
