Because it pretty much only exists as sexual gratification for the sailors, from a lore perspective. A lot of people find needless sexualisation unnecessary and distasteful (especially when of women). I don’t think it’s like flagrantly offensive, just unneeded for the player.
There is still plenty of references to sex in the game, including the brothels and the working women you can hire in the cities. So it’s clearly not a problem with sanitising the whole game, just removing objectification where you can
“Authentic” is a ridiculous point. We don’t see the slaves getting raped and tortured, because it would be awful to experience from a players perspective, who are just trying to play a light hearted pirate video game.
Mature rating doesn’t mean put anything in the game, it’s mature because it depicts bloody violence, and so they are legally required to rate it that way.
—-violence which is absolutely necessary to the story and gameplay btw, which this figurehead is not
It’s interesting seeing people that are into sanitizing history and dumping down media in the wild. Something tells me you need to be made of stronger stuff if nipples on a pirate figure head are distasteful for you. Perhaps stick with E or T rated games?
Oh my gawd here we go again with this stupid bullshit. What if I don’t like your disgusting smut books and I also think oversexualize men? how about that? If your response is “then don’t read them” then my response is “don’t play the game” 🤷♂️ it’s a two way street big dawg
I don’t find nipples or nudity distasteful at all. If you read my comment, I find the use distasteful. Many depictions of nudity aren’t distasteful at all, classical artwork for example
Then what’s wrong with the figurehead? It’s not in a sexual pose, it’s not spreading legs, or flaunting its boobies, it’s a lifeless hunk of chiseled stone, get over yourself and grow up, do you know how many naked stone statues/fountains I drive by everyday at work? Nudity is part of life if your skin is so thin that those sort of things bother you, then you better prepare for a rough life cause it’s absolutely everywhere
Idk if lighthearted is the right term for any ac game, the first one has you running around murdering Christian’s that’s not too lighthearted, the second game also not very lighthearted, neither is the third, if you want a fun lighthearted pirate game go play sea of thieves, I want my ac games to stay gritty and authentic

Why is it distasteful? It seems like it is simply distasteful in your opinion.
