Bunny Ears for Men

[Bravely_Default]

If you think that many people support it, why don't you start an actual thread about gender discrimination on equipment instead of turning what was a conversation about a simple head accessory into a flame war. I have yet to see our characters in cut scenes do more then stand around like a loaf of bread so I can only assume they have more important things to do. Like raids, classes, gear, and content.

This topic has been brought up countless times, many people asking for more "female" outfits on male characters, more people wanting unisex options, people wanting bunny ears. People clearly support it, there's several threads you can go read if you want. The issue is that Square Enix is ignoring people's wishes. Not to mention, the art team isn't the combat team. They had time to do Lord of Verminion and all that, why not take the time to make bunny ears and other outfits unisex?

We did. Go check it out: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...department-yay

There's also some more background here if you don't want to root around looking for everything in different threads.

I'm actually confused about why you think that the people supporting male bunny ears are the one turning this thread into a flame war, when the point of this thread is explained right there in the first post

Is it really? Please qoute me then cause it sounds like your putting words in my mouth since I never gave any reasons to why I don't suppor. I simply said that I don't; and now that there's a difference in opinions, I'm being attack for things I never even said to begin with. It's like I'm being forced to agree with you otherwise I am automatically a horrible person.

With all due respect, I think there's another angle to this. If the topic was "Can we all have dyeable succubus horns?" or "Can female characters have bear ears?" then saying you don't agree is simply giving your opinion; the reasons for it don't matter. I respect that, maybe you really hate bear ears or something.

But if the topic is "Can people who aren't you have the same things you already have?" and you come in to say you disagree, then say you can't give the reason because that would reveal discriminatory intentions, it sounds an awful lot as though you're discriminating. It literally doesn't affect your character in any way; so long as you stay female you never have to risk logging on to the game drunk one day and accidentally equipping some bunny ears. So why do you get to tell people with male characters that they shouldn't have that option at all?
