This is literally the perfect thing to question and criticize. It begs questions like; "What kind of marketing is this? What relevance does this have to the sale or products if any? Who decided a red rocket should be in the center of a sale page?"

Because it's artwork of a male dog? I don't know, it's a minor detail to be fixated over.

No, it isn't. Dogs don't have hardons unless they're in the mood so by default the image is sexual in nature. Nobody draws a dog and just includes an erection when doing so and trying to claim that's a normal every day thing is disingenuous as ♥♥♥♥.

A normal artist/marketer/designer would just have the dog exposing it's belly. Whoever included a red rocket in the picture blatantly did so for a reason and that's worth pointing out.

Okay so you going to buy a game or not? Because soon enough it'll be gone and that'll be that.

You think it is a hard on while the artist may have thought differently.

If I lay weird like that, you'd think I had a hard on too.

1 simple question for you, why do you put energy in this? Why the hell you care so much?
Are you a person that complains about everything if it doesnt suit you? If it offends you?
Dont like the internet? Stay away from it.

There's literally no energy put into it. A friend of mine showed it to me and asked if I'd seen the weird sale bg and I posted a very blunt and unemotional question here out of curiosity. I even pointed out my line of thinking, such as maybe it being somehow tied to a game and I don't know.
Seems to me you're the one who's so insecure they're trolling about the info/help forums looking to instigate pointless fights. You seem to have a really thin skin of threads like this can work you up.

Talking about someone elses posts while being the only one overly concerned about this.

I find it remarkedly bizarre that an artist would think to include an errection on a cartoon dog, let alone on a mainstream gaming platform.

And yet, here I see people actually defending the thing? Have we really sunk that low?

They sunk so low they filed fraudulent reports that had to be reverted just to defend that picture.[puu.sh] But somehow I'm the one focusing too much on it when essentially all I wanted was an explanation.

I'd have been fine with "it's from one of their games" or "It's a weird character trope, a horny dog from ____ one of their series".
But instead you have whiny circlejerks performing outstanding feats of mental gymnastics to help cover up a dog erection and it's extended pushed out anus.

You've never owned a male dog, have you?

"The mood" can be anything the dog is excited or happy about. Company is over? Yay new people! Playtime! Yay I love playtime!


I think it's weird that you're trying to sexualize it. Hell, your comment isn't even accurate for humans, either.

We're talking about a cartoon. If it was acceptable to reproduce a dogs sexual organ in cartoon form it would be pretty prolific, wouldn't it? Can you point me to some examples? Snoopy, Marmaduke, Skooby do? I must have missed their happiness.

Regardless of what stimulates it, it's an erection. It's an engorged sexual organ that doesn't need to be conveyed on a cartoon dog without any context or reasoning. Trying to say an erection doesn't represent something sexual is one of the stupidest arguments you can make.

I'll have to say that I'm surprised that you spotted it. I didn't notice it at all myself until I came across this thread and went back to the store page to see for myself.

Although it's such a harmless clipart, you could interpreted in an amusing fashion, perhaps that the dog is so excited about the sale.

Edit; (added to avoid double post)

I'm sorry to insult you as the opposite gender explaining to you how an erection works but men do get erections after a good night's sleep. It's a biological function, the blood circulation gets worked up and the genitalia fills up and hardens.

Nothing sexual about that.
