This thread is about the bunny suit in case you didn't know. If it was just the ears, I'd have no problem with it.
Edit: Last post of the day, hit my limit.
Uh...if you had read a little more, you'd see that I have acknowledged numerous times that crossdressing is in the game as comedy. Occasionally, as comedy . Not frequently to be taken seriously, which is what some people seem to want.
Hildebrand also breaks from the game in many ways, almost always in a comedic way. This is no different.
I don't have a problem with men wearing pink. Men in pink clothes obviously designed for a woman and to compliment a woman's body is what bothers me. Men in any color of clothes designed for women bothers me actually.
That's also absurd....I have no problem with people choosing to play as the opposite gender, and that has nothing to do with crossdressing. If someone wants to play as a male, they should embrace clothes aesthetically designed for males. Playing a male to dress like a female is counterintuitive and I imagine it's something only a minority of people do or find attractive.
You really shouldn't assume though. If womens' voting patterns in the recent election in the US didn't convince you that we're capable of being at least somewhat conservative in certain ways, I don't know what would. If an interest in crossdressing is something we looked for in men in the majority, maybe it would be more accepted worldwide. But it's not. I wonder why?
I find a man with masculinity attractive and/or comfortable to be around. I do not find a man with feminity and dressed as such attractive, only uncomfortable to be around. Is it weird to be that way as a woman nowadays or something? Good to know that being hetero-normative is unprecedented around here.
There's a big difference. Most of the skimpy outfits for men in this game are clearly designed for men or are at least unisex. A man in a speedo is a man in skimpy men's clothing. A man in a bikini (i.e. with the top) with high heels is a man in skimpy women's clothing. Big difference.
I think the bunny suit people have in mind for men here involves fishnets, maybe heels, frilly sleeves, a bunny tail....etc, right? That's by all standards very feminine. A butler-like suit as someone mentioned would not be and would be acceptable to me.
Ah yes, the good old "Your opinion is different than mine so you must be trolling" shtick.
How can I explain in a way that's more simple. A scantily clad female in clothes designed for a female is a different beast from a scantily clad male in clothes designed for a female. Comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges, especially since one generally makes a lot of people uncomfortable while the other does not. Snowmen outfits and the like are no different from mascots. Shouldn't make you uncomfortable unless you have some kind of mild phobia to it.
Also, this is Raubahn:
As you can see, his "skirt" is akin to what a Gladiator or warrior from the Roman era would wear with a clearly masculine design. Not at all feminine, just historically masculine. Appropriate for his gender for the setting. A guy in a tight, frilly, actually feminine looking, etc miniskirt with fishnet stockings would not be. It would be feminine clothes on a male by both modern and historical standards.
The outfit the huntmaster wears has the appearance of a shaman of sorts. Also historically masculine or unisex.
The problem is that the more stuff like this is added, the more people like myself (which again, I would say are the majority if real life and MMO culture are anything to go by) will be bothered by it as it becomes more and more prevalent. We can't exactly hide people's characters from our view. Overdoing these things comes at a cost to any player who would prefer not to see it happen.
