Well, not necessarily...it could come with a well placed Lei, presumably attached with some form of magical body adhesive to protect modesty.

;)

Besides, online interactions are not rated by the ESRB....

Now you see it.

But so many Roe men would look so good Q.Q

I know... It's a terrible shame. :/ Bunny boys = love

I feel like that wouldn't look very good, though

Also online interactions only apply to actual interactions with other people, hehe.

Bunny people are disgusting and I hope males can never wear the ears.

No, but seriously. It bears repeating: there is absolutely nothing wrong with gender locked gear. The vast majority of people are fine with it - because in most societies there is a clear case of specific clothing being marketed based on the gender of the wearer. Exceptions exist, yes, but they're very much the minority and not the majority.

Does this mean that all gear should be gender locked? No, not at all. At the same time, however, the game would benefit immensely from designing more gear specifically for men, women and specific races so that it doesn't have to be watered down for the sake of one particular gender or race. Let's be honest here - a lot of gear that is designed for both genders tends to be designed in a very feminine or androgynous manner. Some people like that, others don't - and variety is important. Male characters in particular often get the short end of the stick when it comes to many unisex sets, particularly healer/caster gear.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with removing all gender locks, but you seem like you might have a problem with that.

EDIT: If we want to get into stuff designed with men in mind, how about you take a look at literally every piece of generic tank armor in the game.
