Jesus Christ...the hell happened!?
People are talking about objectification, sexism and the kitchen sink without knowing the hell it means, cherrypicking Primals as sexism evidence(SERIOUSLY?! Freaking Primals!? If anything, in most myths and religions about the gods, the females AND males are usually NAKED, if not looking completely beyond our comprehension so if anything, Garuda and Shiva are more covered up than the naked Ifrit and Lioncloth only Titan...and why the hell am I even talking about this???) and stupid crap about how stats suddenly mean everything in a game where you can still be practical DPS with 15 gear in 30 instances...
Just this thread...so I'm gonna break this down...as best as I freaking can:
1. Objectification...is a VERB. It's not a noun, pronoun, adjective, homonym, whatever. IT IS A VERB MEANING TO MAKE SOMETHING INTO AN OBJECT! Sexual Objectification means to turn something sexual INTO AN OBJECT! Which means that you YOURSELF have to make it into an object. I don't objectify a single character, whether they be my own, NPC or even Primal but if you do and then suddenly scream sexism...you have a problem, not anyone else, just you.
2. Unless you are looking to simply mini-max, there's no point in whining about stats PERIOD. And even then, why not make High Quality Equipment? Why not level to 45 and ignore the Coliseum Equipment? This is literally the dumbest argument I heard and the sheer fact Ophie keeps bringing it up is just freaking PATHETIC. You have MULTITUDES of ways to get something else, hell, you can just glamour the damn thing away, I seriously doubt Glamour parts is hard to buy at all so the fact you can't even do that means you are just complaining to complain.
3. Primals don't even freaking OPERATE on the same plane of THOUGHT, you think they honestly give a DAMN about how they are dressed, let alone look? I seriously doubt Garuda, the most bloodthirsty of the 3 starter Primals, honestly flusters herself on how she looks...
And I highly doubt Minfillia is even a freaking fighter, so who gives a damn what she wears(which the only offense...is a damn tubetop)? Seriously, I've seen far more covered ladies than men in this game and people still whine about sexism?
4. For the last time...if you whining about practicality about the belly opening...yet not about the freaking spikes EVERYWHERE ELSE on the damn armor, then there is no reason to keep talking about how stupid the Female Dragoon AF is. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the damn thing on principle and it looks FINE. If this was the real world, it would be a practical nightmare...but guess what? It's a DAMN GAME! And besides, GLAMOUR IT OFF if you hate it that much.
God, these forums get more ridiculous by the damn day! It was from a funny joke to suddenly being stupid serious and not even being factual about it.
