I still heard people referring to that picture as feminine. I think it's the narrow waist that makes people say that. Definitely not as bulky as the other versions of Diablo we've seen. But I agree, other than that it doesn't scream femininity at me.
Demons don't need boobs! It's probably just me, but I think this model would look awkward with breasts. Maybe if they were little breasts with spikes for nipples, then maybe that'd work for me. I hate when designers make an awesome looking character and throw big honking tits on it, just ruins it for me personally. (I know I'm probably the only one lol)
Take it from me, that is a feminine pose and those are breasts. The waist line is feminine. The hips are feminine. The pose is feminine. The arch in the back and the rib cage is feminine. That's a girl.

I wasn't sure if those were meant to be breasts, they looked a little awkwardly placed to me. I thought they were just meant to be the pectoral muscle. But it is a demon so maybe they have awkwardly high/really spread out boobs!
Ok, for those who dont see the femenine features, here, hope this helps:
The dude, is a lady.
Diablo polishes his nails.
He has pillow fight with Baal and Meph.
He uses sexy lingerie and high heels.
Deal with it.

Ever see a girl stand like that? That's pretty much exactly what breasts look like when you arch your back and push your shoulder blades together like that (and aren't packing D's )
Diablo can take any form he wants, we learn this in The Sin War.
As for the speculation I think it's been played out. I'll repost this though:
[spoil]This is a texture for Leah. Could just mean she's a zombie though or something.[/spoil]
That new image really does shed new light on it though.
Diablo is a girl...I'm slightly turned on by the primordial shift in the relationship I had and now have with Diablo....

Speaking of tits.. Why do guys have nipples.. I mean, whats the deal with that?
In my humble opinion, I dont think it's going to be Leah. It would be too obvious.
Blizz is not hiding the fact that Diablo looks like a lady, in fact, the want us to notice that and to build some theorycrafting.
Thet probably did this to make us think from day one that, duh, Leah as new main character + Girly Diablo = Leahblo.
I've been trying to avoid spoilers, but for what I've heard, some f*cked up shiet happens to Leah in the course of the game.
This would make us go for the obvious "Oh yeah, and now she goes on full Diablo infested mode, sooo predictable", and then, they smack us in the face with the slap of deceit! 180° turn and we're on wtf land.
I'm pretty sure that Leah is not going to be the Lord D. It would be to obvious, they're forcing us to believe that, and they'll keep doing it during the game.
why it would be a sex change ? in 1 and 2 Diablo possesed male character in 3 he posseses female character and there is probably some lore why is that so, so i don't have problem with that
Male--->female.
Sex change.
Ta-da.
More seriously,it's not so much about who diablo possesses. It's more who he is/was. Time and time again, there have been reinforcing concepts throughout the lore and the game about diablo being a 'he'. Not an 'it' or a 'one' but a 'he'.
Say you wake up tomorrow and you find your mom in the kitchen(ya i know...), except she sports a full imperial beard and is built like Arnie. No matter how much lore and explanation she will put behind her new appearance, you will probably be annoyed at the sudden change, when all about her (appearance) is a 'he' now.
I mean it's not like a plot twist and damn! you find the good guy was actually the villain or vice versa. It's more how we've come to regard diablo throughout the years.
Guess my perception of that bitch was wrong.
So I would argue that there won't be any "OH MY DIABLO IS ACTUALLY A FEMALE!!" surprise in the game. The feminine form could be because of several reasons, either possession of a female or just that he looks like that..
The image doesn't really lend to how tall Diablo will actually be or anything. Something tells me that Diablo isn't going to be 'human sized' or anything like that.
I also have a feeling we may see Diablo as a boss that has different stages/forms. I think they are going for more strategy based fights in the game and Diablo is the type of boss you can do a lot with. Have it start out in this feminine form, then it breaks out of its shell into some massive hulking demon of death that eats babies and spits their bones at you for 1,000,001 damages.
I completely agree with the post above. A multi-form fight with different strategies is just what the game needs.
Eating babies and spitting their bones is optional, but would certainly add a disturbing factor to the fight.

He gives a new meaning to the term "fire crotch"
Yea, It's so obvious Diablo is a female in D3(I'm surprised people didn't notice before that highlighted pic).
Well so what to do now, instead of killing Diablo, do we now throw her over our knee, and spank her for being a bad girl or what?
Correct. Diablo can reflect the worst fear of his/her opponent.
I hope Blizz has planned for multifarious appearances and a varying set of skills.
This way each encounter will feel unique.
And let's be honest: "Hell has no fury like the wrath of a woman"
Speaking of tits.. Why do guys have nipples.. I mean, whats the deal with that?
Maybe, we are demons too!

- Although, Leahblo sounds pretty awesome XD
I have nothing against female baddies but sex changes just don't work that well on demons. Maybe we'll get a hermaphrodite on D4.
