Bunny outfits for men, not a cryptid!

[Arrius]

Did they really put clothing that was molded for female shape and jsut slapped it on male body? is this some kind of delayed April fool prank?

*looks for official announcement*

didn't find anything

It's footage from PAX East.
Here's the front look, by the way:

Well, I'm glad they finally made something after so much time.
Since they weren't going to change the design I'm puzzled they didn't just release the ears earlier to appease people while they worked on the rest of the outfit since I doubt that would have taken much time in modeling adjustments.

Even if it was a side project it's crazy how long this took to get done.

The obvious answer is that for a while they didn't want to. At some point they changed their minds, but it never became a high priority item. Guess someone had time to work on it.

Often something takes little time to do but just never gets high enough on the queue to get any work put in because management doesn't consider it important. (One of the reasons Google had that famous policy of staff using 20% of their time to work on whatever they wanted wa to get ideas that otherwise would never see the light of the day a chance to get prototyped.)

[Hestzhyen]

Well, uh, thanks SE. At least I can make something close to what I really want to see with the ears and some existing gear I guess.

I don't want to sound bratty or spoiled, but... do they not have Chippendale's in Japan...?

[DreadRabbit]

Am I???? The only one??? who actually prefers that the male bunny suit is exactly the same as the female version??? To me it actually looks like something attractive and I feel like if they'd changed it to be more masculine then it would look ridiculous... Though at the same time I happen to find men in feminine clothing attractive so who knows.

Now when do the guys get dresses? Gimme. Now.

I honestly don't mind getting this variant. Truthfully the reveal shot showing the Highlander copping a feel on not one, but two of his fellow man bunnies made me grin like a Cheshire cat.

I don't think anyone is denying that there's people who like the feminine design. The issue is that most people conform to conventional beauty standards and want male characters to look and act like conventionally attractive men. This is pretty standard and even accounting for some male NPC's being very feminine the vast majority are distinctly masculine - either classically handsome in their looks or more on the rugged side.

Obviously the developers can't please everyone. Yet it's pretty disappointing that they keep pushing feminine/androgynous hairstyles and gear designs on male characters.

I only ever remember people requesting the bunny suit for males, and being pretty outraged it wasn't a thing. Now that it is... People are outraged!?

And like miste said, you can already have a bow, no shirt, and glossy black pants in game, now. Why would they add that again?

People are so unreasonable sometimes...

In other words, you don't really have a stake in the fight or any knowledge of the long string of disappointments where male glamour options are concerned yet you can't help but rush at the chance to make a snide comment. It's very telling that the vast majority of the posters belittling the concerns raised about male glamour options don't even seem to play a male character themselves...at least not as their main character. Interestingly enough, many of those same individuals also post as Au Ra and Miqo'te women - which just so happen to be the two of the more popular and 'fan service' options available where glamour options are concerned.

I think you are the only unreasonable one, always just posting negative comments to people's criticisms.

You expect no one to comment on this lazy shoe horn, okay...

exactly +1, they are just here to defend SE in any waking moment possible.

I don't usually play miqo actually, I'm normally a hyur. But thanks for assuming, and why does this even matter to begin with? Why does what race a person plays in game matter as to their glamour preferences? And I don't even like most of the female glamour, I tend to wear more conservative stuff (not the case atm, but I just can't find anything I like)

And you know what, I don't play a male character because I don't find males attractive. There, you happy? Why should that even matter at all, if this is about equality. I think there is double standard shit going on here.


Also, my comment wasn't meant to be taken as snide. I simply am going off what I recall from those threads. Maybe you should stop thinking anyone who plays a female character is against male glamours. I'm all for equality.

And as for star, you are stalking me now, and find fault with anything I say, please stop.

They asked for a male bunny suit, they got it. the problem is that bunny suits aren't attractive to most people when men wear them. The solution most here seem to have is "just give us the ears," which is telling. I don't think people realized what they were asking for.
