Why didn't they hire a girl for MoCap? Female moves would never be natural for a male (even gay), it's like shaving with your legs - theoretically possible, after hours (weeks, years) of training, but still very impractical.
That's right. Shaving your legs is only theoretically possible
I might go one further, maybe I'm being too generous but anyways, and guess that he meant actually shaving with his legs and not shaving his legs. As in holding the razor with one's feet.
Comparison doesn't really work, and the motivation behind it is still quite ass backwards though.

Given that the quoted text actually is, "shaving with your legs", that's a reasonable conclusion to make.
But making that conclusion would prevent you lot from overreacting, so I can see why you lot wouldn't do that.
I find nothing wrong with a man playing the role, but I don't care much for him, and now I'll see him when I'm looking at Harely. Seeing everyone freak the fuck out over it though, that makes it worth it.
What unsettled me about that video is not that a guy did the mocap for Harls, it's that the way she moves makes me think mostly of Voldo from the Soul series.
I love Voldo, and all, but he's creepy and creepy.

I love all the commentators freaking out over this too.
