I don't even read it as that, recalling back to EU fanfest they brought on that one lady who was a character artist, and they had her do the designs on a lot of the dresses and what not in game not because the guys thought it weird for them to do, but because they were uncomfortable designing something they had no personal frame of reference on. So they logically passed it on to her since that was where a lot of her experience was in.

That makes sense, too. I got a different vibe from them regarding the bunny suit which I obviously could have misread. I do remember reading this about that lady though.

No, it really wasn't. That was me listing an occasion in MMO history where a games developers added content to a game that was drastically out of place in the MMO market, with the reference being that no other developer will do that for you. You are the one with an agenda and to that I say, so what?

The occasion you are talking about is one that is intrinsically about LGBT players and same sex characters. And while it is great, Square Enix should not be celebrated highly for adding it after they announced it was straights only. Your example of they do things no other developers will for you is flawed, because people had to drag them kicking and screaming to get it done.
