    Gonna get flack, and I don't care: Using the sexism argument without realizing what sexism IS might as well be the equivalent of being blind and saying something is too bright.
    1. prejudice or discrimination based on sex
    2. behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex
    "But Xhominid, the 2nd one could easily lead to sexism" No, it cannot. This game has been RIDICULOUSLY conservative and having options is NOT a problem. If this was TERA, you would have a point, but having only ONE singular option to be a tin can is just as bad as having just one option to be nothing but bra and panties.

    Thank you. That is exactly what the look is yet users want to use the skimpy approach to defend those who would like armor that if more feminine. Showing a little skin isn't necessarily bad but that doesn't have to be the case.

    No getting any flack from me.

    Oh give it a rest. I don't need to inpune anyone's opinion to make a point. Sorry if calling your beloved suit of armor a tin can upsets you that much but I seriously don't find that armor special at all and certainly not for females. I'm entitled to my view and I'll certainly not be afraid to express it.

    Separating the looks from a genderless armor base (tin can) to a tin can and "female" version, would meet the definition of sexism. Particular because the female version we all know people are requesting is one with more windows to the body.

    For the last time, no it does not. Alot of people like pointing to that but what they truly mean is stereotypes, which AGAIN, is not sexist by itself. For this entire game, there have been LOTS of armors that have covered the females more often than never. Simply that being the ONLY option is STILL as bad as the ones with the only option being bra and panties because there's no real options past glamouring, which if that's the case, what's the point? There has been no option whatsoever to have an armor that even REMOTELY looks like Livia's, atleast that would be an improvement over Tin Can #7034
