Male Spring Bottoms. What the hell?

Haha. Oh, look! It's another thread where some very vocal people playing female characters rush to tell people who play male characters what they should and should not get up in arms about.

I forgot, only male avatars can share an opinion regarding male fashion.

Nice try, but that isn't what I said.

There is, however, a confirmed track record of people who primarily or solely play male characters having their concerns and feedback suppressed by those who primarily or solely play female characters.

I never understand them. I mean its not like you guys want something very special or anything..you just want the shorts like the female version..I mean what is wrong with that? In a game with that many subligars a short pant like that is kinda normal..(and yes I would never wear the male version, it looks horrible)

So +1 for OP.

(Also what...since when is wearing shorts as a man crossdressing?)

I sometimes feel like any time a guy is considered "attractive" or "fashionable" by those who appreciate the male form (in games or IRL), he's labeled as being "feminine" by those that don't. As if you have to be ugly or have poor taste in clothing to be masculine. Apparently a guy wearing even remotely "cute" clothing is considered cross-dressing now.

I will say however that guys do get the short end of the stick in this game with glam options. There's an overabundance of dresses/robes/longcoats/tunics and a significant dearth of more form fitting tops that don't go below the waist or have dangling swathes of cloth for no reason. The Thancred Modern outfit is a good example of a good male chest made worse by unnecessary swathes of cloth attached to it.

I'd like to see more masculine options for guys in game, particularly in the chest slot. With that said, it's not impossible to have "cute" and "masculine" in the same item. Guys can wear shorts that are "cute" without it being "feminine" or "cross-dressing" /eyeroll
