Geisha Akali-Ultimate skin?

I would love an artist to actually be able to do a rendering cause I am horrid.

Starts off game in a general geisha attire face paint instead of the mask and with 2 fans as weapons.

At turning level 6 all of her skills gain new animations.

Q- Throwing a fan, with rose pedals trailing behind kind of like the papers for mundo's corporate skin. W-When placed gains a moon looking shade as if it was a like a half moon. E- A fan dance/spin leaving rose pedals again. R-Animate the dress like it is flying.

At level 11: Dress change and akali's hair comes undone. Each skill animation should be a little flashier.

At level 16: A broken geisha dress, with long hair, no mask or facepaint/makeup, and chakrams back.

I think the last thing any of the female champions in this game needs is a literal prostitute skin, even if it's one of those fancy high-end prostitutes that totes deserve our respect. I can't imagine any of the women I routinely play this game with being happy about it, and to be honest it would feel kind of disgusting to me, too.

What about Geisha Karma?

Also, not all geisha are prostitutes. Many of them were just performers who sang, danced, or even had conversations with men. Their job was to be charming and create an atmosphere where customers would feel admired and welcome.

Always remember that there are exceptions to the rule and that what you are doing is shaming. There are tons of reasons as to why that is a horrible thing to do.

There is some historical controversy about this, but the best numbers we've got are that 75+% of Geisha performed sexual acts in exchange for money. The controversy is generally about whether or not the complimentary sex act they provided as part of their entertainment "counts." And yes, it does.

As far as accusations of shaming, I'll cop to that. I think portraying a character as a performer meant solely to entertain men is demeaning to that character. I don't particularly care if you agree with me, and I don't expect I'd be able to change your mind about it anyway.

I see all of the female characters in league as strong independent ones. Therefore, if they were to have a certain costume or look, I try to make the best of it. Especially since Karma looks like a murderer in her Geisha splash art. Therefore, I assume she is inspired from the story of the ( I remember reading this somewhere and I forget completely ) geisha who literally slaughtered and assassinated in order to take over.

I would expect someone to recommend a Geisha outfit for Ahri because it is easy to see the asian mythology connection...but Akali? I just don't see it. Plus, Akali would just look weird with it. Ahri would do a much better job pulling it off.

My main reason for wanting this skin for Ahri, is because of the Korean mythological creature: Kumiho. It is a nine tailed fox who seduces men ( unfaithful men in particular ) and eats their heart or liver. As a geisha, Ahri would be in a business that heavily relies on her ability to charm customers with various talents. This career could easily play into the role of the Kumiho.

The other comment classifies a geisha as a prostitute. While there are many geisha who were, there were also more innocent types who entertained using the senses outside of touch.
