    This is a silly topic... it's silly because if you feel threatened or uncomfortable with males in a video game wearing dresses, but conveniently ignore that many of the female characters are men in real life then you have more issues than Time Magazine.

    also I think you're the one who has issues, why can't you accept that we don't wanna see it? Nope its gotta be a grand scheme or something diabolical it cant be just normal that we don't wanna see it nooo its the work of the devil himself.

    that my friend is a issue.

    I have no problem that you don't want to see it. What you want or I want is really not the issue. The issue is that you want to restrict other people's options based on what you want to see them wear.... that seems a bit absurd to me. I prefer not to see most bard outfits, but I'm not going to ask them to ban bards.

    If they could make some kind of filter, so that you could turn on gender based models, fine. I fully support you being able to live in your bubble- I just don't like the idea of forcing a narrow view onto others- whether that view is mine or someone else's.

    When they allow people to play whatever gender they want... and have half naked kitten people and childlike races running around... I just have to shake my head at someone trying to claim forcing conformity to an idea of "normal".... I find a LOT in this game to be VERY fetish driven.

    Hey, guess what? Not accepting your intolerance does not make me intolerant. You not wanting to see a male character in a dress should not strip those of the choice to freely express themselves.

    I personally do not care about wearing a dress on my male character, but I think everyone should have the freedom to if that is what they desire.

    I am not personally interested in wearing dresses... but this very "localized" idea of "normal" has led me to believe that there is a greater chance of some kind of sensual tentacle creature showing up in game before I can even create an anatomically representative male character, instead of a Ken Doll.

    Yeah, we have to remember that this game takes place in a medieval setting, which included elves, cat people, and magi-technology. We can't possibly break immersion by giving male characters the option to wear a dress.

    On a completely unrelated and joking note, I am not opposed to the idea of playing a sensual soulflayer

    Well, you could run Tam-Tara Deepcroft and when you get to the boss turn off the game's sound and pipe some Barry White through your headphones to get this effect...

    Either way we will never see eye to eye and that's why it will never happen because of what I just said me which my way life goes on but your guys way you'll complain and call people names and tell SE they are heartless and that's what I meant about forcing the hand to get what you want even if you have to step on the ones who don't wanna see it. I don't care if you are gay have fun with that its not a issue but when you cant accept something I don't wanna see but I can accept you are gay I find it messed up.

    This. Right here, this, is why people say mean things. If you don't see why there's something "messed up" about this type of statement, nothing I say can help ya.

    Can people, please, get over the fact that guys who wear dresses MAY OR MAY NOT be gay or transgender? It's not a QUILTBAG issue. It's not like all guys who want to wear dresses are gay or that all gay guys want to wear dresses. It's highly insulting to people's character and being.
