Discussing your 'unpopular' opinions

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

It isn't really exaggerated when you consider the broader picture. A considerable number of outfits and hairstyles are being marketed as 'unisex' but in reality are clearly targeted to appease those players who enjoy feminine and androgynous aesthetics.

And on the flip side to this, all of the Veteran Reward outfits were from the male characters, and there were no options for female characters at all.

I'd prefer it if they stopped the unisex stuff and gave male and female versions.
Unisex just makes everything look bland.

Is there a disparity? Yes. Do they owe males the bunny outfit? yes. Is the problem exaggerated? still yes.

I repeat my unpopular opinion from some pages ago: males don't need a bunny outfit.

Out of curiosity, what's your reasoning?

My unpopular reasoning is that most of the time, is the gay people asking for this, wanting to be more skimpy than they already can be with actual glams. Being gay myself this hurts me because I don't like in general how people can over sexualize their characters, I personally always think "do they go irl dressed like that?". I mean, ofc it's a game and you can do whatever you want to your character, but I think some people just go too far with that. I know for sure if they add a male bunny outfit, everyone, literally, will be using it. And it's gonna be disgusting. I know my opinion might be harsh, but I always think if they have some dignity when they go around dressed like something like that, or with fluorescent colours or weird makeup. We are supposed to be Warriors of Light, not Warriors of the Alley.

Is this notion exclusive to just the male bunny outfit or do you have a problem with the female bunny outfit too?

Male outfit. I think I don't have such problem with the female version because 1) it got released so long ago that many girls already don't use it, 2) I don't tend to look in game to female chars, 3) those kind of costumes are like... "made to be for females". They look good on girls, they look acceptable on girls. In guys just don't.

They look good on girls, they look acceptable on girls.

That's an opinion based on your socialization. Personally, I think they look stupid and if you're asking someone from an orthodox religious socialization, it's completely unacceptable for a women to wear such a thing. Burqa is the female clothing of choice there. At some point, people thought women shouldn't wear trousers. And then you go back to ancient rome and men wore what would classify as dresses nowadays. Men in stockings? Middle ages go you covered.

I just crack everything that I think looks weird up to a different socialization at this point. Gee, some people are wearing jeans that are purposely torn nowadays! You were considered filthy if you showed up in such a thing in my youth, now it's fashionable >_>

There's no real reason a bunny outfit works on girls but not guys. Heard of Chippendales? You can easily give males an outfit like this. I mean if a male WoL shouldn't look that way, why should a female one? Most female avatars tend to look like budget strippers the way they're dressed. Clearly little more than an expression of the fantasies of their player.

Males don't need anything, but that's not the point.

The bunny outfit was the first glamour released that had no male equivalent that caused everyone to notice how we were only a few patches in and already female avatars were getting more vanity options than males. Something that's gotten so progressively worse that we have, as Theodric stated, players choosing female avatars just for some clothing variety.

This all stems from how many outfits made for guys end up unisex, while the opposite never occurs, while females still get uniques. The Sailor set, Best Men's set, and Gambler set were all supposed to be male locked.

The bunny outfit also keeps repeatedly coming up as SE, years ago, stated they were working on a male friendly redesign, and then radio silence.

Also no villain outfits, and mostly protagonist only.
