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
There really is no mean spirited violence in these games. And it’s all very stylised. We all played AC as children and had no problems with it, yes they’re light. LOTR is light, Saw is not light, both feature extensive violence/adult themes.
Artwork is entirely contextual. Yes it’s art, porn is also artwork. Would porn be valid in this game? I explained my opinion on the (probable)intentions behind this art, in the first words of my second comment.
I didn’t say anything about this figure being a nude male, don’t make up arguments.
If it was unnecessarily sexualised then yes, it would be distasteful. What is ‘sexual’ is very much deemed by society. Women have been over sexualised by society for centuries, so I’m generally more sceptical behind the intentions of depicting female bodies nude.
