STOP Genderlocking Cosmetics!!

As someone who likes to dress masc on female characters: It's hard out here. The fact the items exist to fit these bodies in the game files means it is a developer choice not to release them.

"Releasing gender locked would mean more andro styles and less masculine glam!!!!!!" Is such a cop out. We wouldn't. They would release glam the same as they always have: in a masculine and feminine style but without the lock. That's it. We wouldn't miss out on any glam, we would actually get more glam overall.

While we're at it, stop taking AF gear and making it really sexual/childish on female characters. Looking at you, BLM and RDM sets..

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I threw a fit when I saw just how different the sets were. Stop trying to force me to show my tits and panties. I'm so over it.

I don't like seeing males in skirts or dresses, if it was up to me I would keep things gender-locked.


It is my belief that females can wear pretty much everything but males should wear male-clothing only!.

And this is why we still have civil rights issues around the world.

Again, they were going down the winning entries. Regardless if you find them masculine or not, those were the winners, those were what have been implemented. The latest bozja update gave us the first non winner/non finalist. Assuming they continue down that route, look forward to these possibilities.

And again, you're assuming if we didn't get one niche we wouldn't have gotten another niche. Its as much of a crapshoot as me saying if we didn't get a giant robot dragon for the gwiber final we would have gotten a sineater themed gwiber.

There’s a reason there’s numerous threads filled with people complaining about it. They’re very clearly not masculine. They’re literally hairstyles with curls and bows and they just look like a mess, something even female characters have agreed to. It seems like they’re just trying to appease the small crowd with it and it isn’t helping anyone

Except i mean, in this expansion where they’ve wasted time on ungenderlocking past gear, it’s the same expansion we’re getting more androgynous hairstyles and less masculine glam. Kinda hard to argue with the facts lol.

You mean in the expansion of cut content due to covid they released models they had in stock to pad the content releases? You mean the hairstyles that were voted on in the infamous contest? You mean the expansion that still had gender locked glams? That expansion?

Those styles exist because because people voted for them to exist which means they appealed to more people than the non winning styles did.
It was a contest based on votes.
Those with the most votes won.
I don't know how to break it down simpler than that.

If they have another contest enter something that is suited to your taste and hope it appeals to more people than other designs.

So if crossdressing and dressing in the opposite sex's clothes shouldn't be in this TEEN rated game, then why are there prostitution rings and other clearly ADULT rated content being permitted to happen in game without any push back?

But what does any of that have to do with the decrease in masculine glams? Still no change on the healer and caster gear having a more masculine appearance. The nier raid came out before the pandemic even started. Again, they should’ve done 1 male hairstyle and 1 female hairstyle as categories to make it fair. Not allow random androgynous hairstyles through unclassified.
