Are people really mad about nudity, or are they just mad that it's not all het nudity?
Edit: ok so after some research, looks like full nudity is an optional setting, and all body models (male or female) can have dicks or vulvas. Which makes me think there's an anti trans component to complaints as well.
I imagine some are genuinely mad about the nudity, I imagine. Remember "video games are for children" and "if a child sees a nipple (let alone a penis!) the apocalypse will begin". Just because gamers are gamers doesn't mean they're not still part of the larger culture.
It all reminds me of the controversy among older TES fans over the lack of nudity in TES3: Morrowind. There was a lot of European vs. American in those threads (and we had a genuinely cross-pond fandom back in those days). Arena and Daggerfall had nudity, and a few of our European posters expressed indignation over the change.
