And what the ethics and dangers of physical appearance are. What it's okay to look like. Perhaps the most sensitive topic in all of human sexuality, at least online.
I have some opinions on this subject. But no matter what stance I were to talk, or what degree of reasoning I would put for for an argument, there's no way to not lose face. And I'm not sure I want my Square Enix account permanently associated with such a hotly contested and judged debate. I've been on Twitter and elsewhere enough to see the direction this subject most likely goes. And that direction goes to people screaming at each other over Twitter and name-calling. People can't even decide whether shipping characters with a height gap is okay, and many have decided that revealing personally information and online bullying is okay over ships they don't like.
The idea of dragging that can of worms into my official Square Enix account, and whether that's worth it, is something I'll have to think on.
