    that though, I'm trying to find the source. :O

    Also, and I know I'm going to get run over by the hate train here, but I don't really want to see overly flamboyant guys running around in bunny costumes and such. It's bad enough with the big male roes and the metallic pig costumes.
    I've heard that artist being uncomfortable thing too. Which begs the questions where are the female artists and why does designing "sexy" armor for guys make the male artists uncomfortable... but sticking the guys in dresses 90% of the time doesn't? Male armor options don't need to be sexy per se, they just need to be more masculine and for Hydalen's sake they need to have more options that aren't friggin dresses.

    I'm a big fan of RuPaul's Drag Race but that doesn't mean 90% of the armor males get should be suitable to wear on the show. I want to fight bad guys, save the world, and look like a badass while I do it, not work the runway for the judges.

    And that whole "artist uncomfortable" line is BS anyways. There ARE good looking male armor options in the game already that aren't pseudo-dresses. The problem is they are very few and far between and half of them are race/class/job locked.

    If the artists managed to power through their uncomfortableness to make this:



    they can certainly do it again and more frequently and make some of them usable by all classes/jobs/races. I want more stuff like the above for the body slot. Not pseudo-dress/robe/longcoat #267921230

    I'm less concerned about flamboyant bunny boys than I am about having badass body slot options that aren't another robe/dress. Sexy on males isn't necessarily about being flamboyant or showing tons of skin.
