Male Spring Bottoms. What the hell?

I'm probably not able to find the source, but I'm pretty sure the uncomfortable excuse is literally what they told us when we asked why the male bunny suit was taking so long.

I feel like this is something that needs a source.

Agreed. Despite the fact that female characters being the majority seems like a much more reasonable and logical explanation as to why the glamour situation is the way it is currently, I have a hard time believing that devs would come right out and say they're uncomfortable with males.

The reason that was 'officially' given when asked about the bunny suit in PAX was this:

"Here's a hefty claim about the devs, but I don't have a source" isn't really effective.

This, they basically corner themselves to it. Well, I don't think it's corner, but more of "lets just focus on what we do right instead of fixing what we do wrong".

I agree. When I brought up this issue with friends of mine, I received "Why don't you just play a female then?" as a response, which to me is absurd. I'm a male, and I like playing masculine characters. There's nothing wrong with males playing females, but it's not something I choose to do, and "Play a female" is a ridiculous answer to the issue.

Perfectly fair. I'm pretty certain they said this in one of those Q&A things, but I can't really find it. To be honest, I don't even know what they're called or where they're even done at. If anyone can just tell me of the places they normally do these, I'd be glad to do a better search.

I've played both male and female and tend to switch around. But one of the things which I tend to play more as female than male is exactly how often I see males getting the designs with the least effort, or just down-right make you question their irl dress code. I wish they would just make more gear design contests for glam items too, and be much more open to ideas rather than "what fits the game"/"lore-friendly".

To be honest, the only thing that seems to be consistent with kept information is the Letters from Producers. Your best bet with finding all of the Q&A panels might be reddit. Kinda just have to search around.

Lol agreed. I'm not sure why stuff like Q&A panels isn't posted on the main site. Not everyone has the ability to attend PAX events.
