Female Sundrop Dance

Equality =/= sameness

That means the dance is just fine.

I have no problem with the dance being different. The moves themselves are fine. My issue with it is the way they're executed, it has no authority, it looks more like a schoolgirl trying to play at being tough than an actual tough woman.

Well... most females in the game do look like schoolgirls trying to play tough. It wouldn't change even if they were given male animations.

Anyway. Someone doubted the ferocity and grace of femroes so I had show them wrong. Here's the /sundance in different kinds of clothes so you can see how attire changes the "vibe" of the dance. The first one conveys the most power, the second emphasizes head movement and facial expressions and hides the stiff legs, and the third makes the dance seem cutesy. I must warn you that it's a pretty big gif cause I'm bad at creating videos.

I like the way it looks on my character and I don't think a wide-legged crab crouch would suit her that well. It's based on real life tradition and female characters were given the same animation as female NPCs always had. You can't judge the amount of work that went into it by the scale of the movements alone. Even though the movements are subtle they were still animated frame by frame and looped properly. The dance is fine imo. Some people just like to cry inequality when they don't like the aesthetic of something, as if they represent a greater cause.
