Riot really needs to stop over-sexualizing fantasy dragons.

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/0/05/Aurelion_Sol_OriginalSkin.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170615221255 Do you see this chiseled piece of celestial goodness right here? Do you think that this is at all realistic?

It's not.

This dragon was drawn just to catch the attention and money of sexually repressed teenage dragons (male or female, we don't judge here). https://i.gyazo.com/f499b7f53249d2056deefcf94acf4ba1.png This kind of Do you see those lean biceps and deltoids? Do you see how they seem to shine with celestial energy? See how they glow with the light of the stars? That's highly unrealistic. Normally a dragon's arms would be covered in small scales, like this https://i.gyazo.com/03ff843b8ecb7fa058465d25fe8d6625.png Aurelion Sol's upper and lower arms show clear signs of "scale plucking" a recent and extraordinarily unhealthy fad where a dragon gets their scales plucked at a very young age in order to expose the tender, but "more attractive" skin beneath. It is far more pronounced on his lower body, where he is almost completely bare https://i.gyazo.com/00add4484319950e46ef23ab3e990aba.png The negative side affects of this disgusting fad are far to long to list here, so I won't, but riot NEEDS to stop encouraging this.

On top of that, do you see the plates on his back? https://i.gyazo.com/8bccf28a228b93bfdcea6be569eab372.png These kinds of thick, long plates are not properly extremely restrictive to body movement. They can result in debilitating back pain later in life. Telling young draklings to grow out their back plates teaches them bad habits.

Aurelion sol isn't the only one with an unrealistic body either. All of the dragons in this game have utterly unrealistic body types.

It's impossible for a normal dragon to achieve these astronomical standards of beauty. This isn't even peak beauty, this is far beyond it.

Showing impressionable young teenage dragons these kinds of bodies normalizes them and makes them feel inadequate. Riot should be much more considerate of these draklings and show off more body types in their dragons.

It's time for things to change.

To be fair, dragons are very sexually charged in some folklores.

In South Slavic myth (my culture) a dragon is a benevolent entitity who bestows his blessings on a village and guards it from evil spirits. Curiously enough as part of his pact with the villagers, the dragon will turn into a beautiful man and woo maidens from the village, and may choose a bride to take with himself to the Underworld. The "Dragon's Bride" is marked by the gradual loss of her sanity.

Female dragons behave similarly but naturally target young men.

As a dragon myself, I feel oppressed by the unrealistic standards of beauty that Aurelion represents.

You forgot his overly sexualizing hairstyle How can anyone look away with those wavy locks of colour? Riot should really think before they draw.

I'm a dragonkin and this offends me. Riot should pay me and stop letting their artists create dragons with unrealistic bodies that cause me to feel shame for my own lack of size and glowing celestial energy.

The amount of flak the feminist movement gets is ridiculous, I aint even saying if they should be getting this much flak or not, but they get a lot of flak.

Based on his shape, I thought this was going in a completely different direction. I'm the only one to comment on this though, so I guess I'M the crazy one.
