Maybe you should teach your son about the differences between fantasy games and reality? Or give him to parents who can.

I think everybody should be ashamed that they don't look like Taric, girls included.
But in all seriousness, I honestly think that Riot's made a pretty good selection of different possible body types in League of Legends. You have people like Jhin, who's pretty much a walking stick, to Gragas, who lies at the other end of the spectrum. Taric might just exist as that "one in a million" that actually do exist in real life :\

The sexists over at Riot games have just released their taric rework and I for one have to say I am shocked. I have a young son that loves league of legends and he loves taric, but I don't want him to grow up ashamed of his body image because he doesn't look like Taric. I mean, just look at that pose, the puffed up and built chest, the elongated and muscular arms, the flowing hair, perfect jawline complexion. It is absolutely disgusting and sexist that Riot would appeal to female gamers in such a sexual way, but obviously we know this is just another example among thousands of the sexist gamer culture at work. I for one am outraged that Riot would choose such a blatantly sexual pose for a champion like Taric that promotes the Matriarchy and unrealistic male body images.
I will be frank and I will be brutal about this. But seriously what in the seven ****s is this? In this day and age sexualization has nearly become the norm so why ***** about it when we as people want to be, feel, and look good. fair enough some people go over the top with the unhealthy body image, like for example, Rob Liefeld. You got an allergy towards something that is sexualised, then go to some conservative third world country because you don't understand the irony of sexualisation of women and sometimes men in modern media. in that we as people have more respect for the other gender here than anywhere else.
Sure I love sexy ladies, but when fanservice is to be delivered, I'd mine with some substance as I think that blandly sexualizing women is just a joke and something and pisses me off because of the tryhard attempt is being sexy.
And there is no shame in people have standards for us to live up to, look I will admit myself I am a fat bastard who has a brother that has model level beauty and a younger one that is ripped as hell, but I don't feel unhappy about myself, but that is different strokes for different folk. Being blunt about this to some people is just gonna make them even worse when you are gonna tell them to suck it up and deal with it.
But really this is taric we are talking about, not some of the worse WWF users of steroids or messed up bodybuilders. Dude has a nice but(no ****, maybe) to say that he is out of proportion is messed up. not to mention he is a fictional character and not a real life person unlike the worst I mention in this paragraph or the one drawn by Rob Liefeld.
