The Mantis Needs Pants

I know this game is rated M, but this is just plain lewd and uncivilized. What were 343i thinking? Yes, it’s rated M, but think of the children! What sort of example are we setting for them? How can 343i support and encourage this type of behavior? It’s appalling. They are only enforcing more pantless behavior from today’s youth. Just think, at this very moment, a young impressionable child could play this game and be inspired to go pantless into this cruel world. Pack of pantless teens could be roaming the streets right now as we speak!

Now, I’m not saying they need to pay top dollar for the latest fashionable pants, even a simple pair of Levis would suffice and rectify this oversight quickly. (not button fly though, as those are just a pain - or skinny jeans) All they need to do is hit the pant button, and BOOM, problem solved. So, what will it be 343i? Are you willing to admit your mistake, come clean, and fix this? Please, think of the children. The poor, defenseless, pantless, children.

Edit:

My colleague, Kingly Bacon, has already drawn up some early prototypes for your consideration.

Mantis Pants

Scarab Dress

i dont know how you raise your children but most children will not decide to go pantless in the world after seeing a video game robot with no pants

0/10. why are monitors even doing posts like these?

Are you blinded by it majesty?

Oh damn, I’d never given this much thought, Until now that is.

You have a good point, 343 i sure hope you are listening!

We need Mantis pants! And we need em now!

Things have been tense on the forums, and this was an attempt at some levity… as poor as it is.

Sadly enough, this is pretty true. Just finished a game on Ragnarok, and I was suddenly and inexplicably compelled to remove my pants.

Now my cat won’t stop staring at me and hiding in fear.

Baha, well played sarcasmbully, well played.

I think it should continue pantless, it doesn’t have to conform to human rights!
If it wants to show it’s rather large… area, and shove it in the faces of it’s enemies, it’s allowed to!

Alright guys, time to start the anti-pants campaign. All with me, say aye!

No political discussion on the forums please. :slight_smile:

Rocks need pants, too.
You fiends should be ashamed of yourselves for putting this kind of lewd content into the game like this.
I’ve got half a mind to call up the Angry Soccer Moms of America (ASMA) and the Society for Gentlemen with Cockney Accents Against Inappropriacy, Rudeness, and Dastardliness (SCAAIRD).

Just so long as those pants aren’t “on the ground”. Neither those “sagging” pants or skinny jeans should appear on the Mantis, it has more style than that. Just Levis and Dockers please.

It is offending my super delicate feminine sensitivities. I am in favor of pants.

I would actively support this.

But trying to get pants for the Scarab is already enough of an issue.

“0/10. why are monitors even doing posts like these?”

I knew what kind of thread this was before I clicked on it but I wasn’t expecting it to be by a Monitor and feature several more.

I don’t mind that, but it is a little odd. Why not have something a little less serious now and then?

really… What about the custom games issues, Theater issues, file share

No we get posts about a robot needing pants

sigh

the poor, poor pantless children, awesome!

Pants on the Scarab? Don’t be silly. Obviously the Scarab needs a nice flowing sundress with a floral pattern.

You people must not know a thing about Robotitry! Basic Robonomics? Mechatroid 101?! CHILDS PLAY, really!
It is obviously a counter weight for its massive guns! And just think, a SPARTAN operator? That armor isn’t exactly cardboard. It weighs…alot! C’mon people!

343: “Quickly, tell the forum moderators to do something silly! Juggle something! Keep them distracted and entertained!”

And you know what? I’m pretty entertained.

At least they could of put a thong on that mantis.

All of those already exist, Monitors aren’t 343i employees and can’t answer any questions. May not have been the most humorous thing ever, but it doesn’t hurt anybody.
