Gender Discrimination Needs to Stop

[Moqi]

They don't "make the lore as they go". Most of it has been in place for years. Did you think Fernehalwes was making crap up off the top of his head at the lore panel? Even things like Bahamut being inside of Dalamud was there when 1.0 started. They just hadn't originally planned to bring him down.

I guess Eternal Bonding had been inteded for same sex couples all along then and they just lied to us at the beginning.

Same-sex marriage still isn't a thing in Eorzea, although same-sex relationships seem to be completely fine. Marriage just seems to be a thing of business rather than love. Just like it was on Earth until very recently. Eternal Bonding isn't marriage, and the devs make a really big point of saying that. So nothing has changed except that the devs decided to find a way to bring same-sex marriages in, when they were originally extremely wary of it.

So they can spin that one around but not this because... oh wait there is no reason why they couldn't do that. Where's the lore that says crossdresser don't exist in eorzea exactly? Or that it is not socially acceptable for a man to wear a skirt?

It's right there in the game. You know how male characters can't equip female items? You know how you see only one man in a dress and it's presented as a joke? Right there. The game doesn't need to come right out and say 'SKIRTS ON MEN ARE SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE, WARRIOR OF LIGHT.'

Especially since some skirts ARE socially acceptable.

You know how some items are made deyable in future patches? Dungeons loot changes? Enemies are renamed? They can change anything they want.

Changing dungeon drops is absolutely not the same thing as altering the cultural background of the world and you know it.
