Please DO alter Dark Knight AF for female characters.

Sexy =/= Sexist

Learn the difference

Requesting 'sexy' versions of armor for females only is sexist. Especially when the male alternative for a tank armor is the opposite.

You're making some assumptions with that statement.

From what I've seen I think that a lot of the people here requesting sexy outfits are female, or play female characters, and are specifically speaking to the fact that they want their character to be sexy, or at the very least feminine - specifically in the dark knight armor. There is nothing wrong with or shameful about the desire to look sexy, or even to see sexy things. The thread is not about men, or male characters, it is about females and players with female characters. I don't want my female characters to look cute/sexy for you, I want them to look cute/sexy for me.

I also don't really think that there is a wrong stance on this conversation, just two different opinions. Some people want to look cute, some people want to look sexy, and some people want to look cool. It's up to each player how they want their characters to look, and I think that it's important that we have options.

I swear, half of you only read the cliffnotes of sexism and don't even bother reading up on what true sexism is...

There's certainly nothing wrong with wanting sexy options. I'm never gonna judge for that. But when people want female characters to have a disproportionate amount of sexy options in comparison to men, or ridiculously impractical armor options, yes, that is discrimination and reinforcement of gender stereotypes.

THAT BEING SAID, Jazo's graphic examples that were just posted do none of that and are certainly reasonable options that can/should be provided. Carry on.

Did I say that? Because when did I say that? Do you have proof that I said that? No, then stop acting like I did. I have already said my piece:

I. Want. OPTIONS! Is that concept so hard to grasp? You can have your, in my opinion, completely drab Paladin AF that looks like every other piece of Heavy Armor I've seen ever, while I would want an option to actually have one that shows my toon's figure(like jazo showed) or atleast still looks badass and sexy at the same time. And quit using the damn sexism card, I have proven countless times already no one knows how to use it, just say you don't want it because it's silly or something, damn.
