    Because that's how males crossdressing is viewed in japan, as comedy relief or something foolish to not be indulged in for very long (though this is a common trope for many cultures).

    Obviously they struggled to make something for men based off the bunny suit and instead went for hey let's just make it a big joke cause they didn't know how to conceptualize a masculine version of the purely feminine outfit. I don't have a dog in this fight so I don't care too much, aside from not looking forward to Ul'dah in the coming months, but it's plain to see they as a team had no clue on how to approach this project. And we can't use previous outfits that show off the male figure as proof of ability since those were based off pre-existing styles.

    I don't think they had any intention to make this. Just more of seeing if this would stop a part of the community from asking that question/s.

    Yeah that's the most likely answer to be fair
