SE: Thank you for finally releasing the male bunny suits!

Meh. I understand a lot of people want to play dress-up with their doll (character) and to break gender lines, but honestly, I’d rather see Devs spend time on content than on addressing a silly clothing imbalance.

This reasoning falls through hard when you realize that the reward for most of that content is clothing, and how popular a particular piece of content is is usually determined by how popular that reward (clothes) is. Clothing is the goal here.

I was kinda expecting something a little more unique... if they were just gonna use the same model I wonder why it took so long.
Female char though, it's of no consequence to me.

Because it was very low on the totem pole. Most dev teams have a pile of work they poke at when everything else is done and they'd literally be sitting around. Since they didn't seem interested in doing this until people kept asking, that's probably why.

Wait a minute... This was never confirmed right? Are modders playing games with us???

Huh. I never thought of that. I heard it was shown at some event and thought “OH IT’S REAL THEN!!”

Well at least we are getting the salt out of the way now.

How funny would it be if it turned out to be a group of modders with intentions to scramble up the community. haha.

I wish they just removed the restrictions, baby steps. One day my male role may be able to become a bikini tank, he is modest and likes to leave certain things the imagination. I am also glad they did not try and make a "male" version and kept it more or less the same as the female one.

You. I like you.

Some people just like to watch the world burn. However, it's legit unless the ones trolling are SE themselves. Fast forward to 0:58ish

The problem with this line of thinking is that, as you say people gravitate to certain styles. All the locks do is make it so that most people who have access will gravitate to that style. The problem isn't that the popular options are so popular you need to lock them to encourage visual diversity, but rather, we need a much bigger selection of popular styles.

YUP! Pretty much every area of customization in the game is always going to have one popular option, and simply deleting or locking that option won't solve that "problem" (I don't even really consider it a problem. Popular things are popular for various reasons, regardless if you agree with them or not).

I mean every race has "face 01" syndrome where one face is more popular than the rest. Deleting or locking the faces wouldn't suddenly create an equal disbursement of the other options. A new popular face would emerge.

Female Miqo'te and Au Ra avatars being deleted or locked wouldn't suddenly make everyone play Elezens and Roes. Chances are the players that liked those aesthetics would then swarm Midlander Hyurs (then you'd really see just Hyurs with horns and cosplay ears out in droves). Then everyone else would get sick of looking at them and go "delete Hyurs."

And glamour is no different. If "everyone" is wearing the same outfits that just indicates it's popular. That, or so few options exist for a particular aesthetic that anyone wanting that aesthetic is going to wear it (the casual sweater is a pretty good example). Locking that particular outfit won't change a thing, people would just go for the next best thing and wear that, thus a new "popular/samey" item emerges.

That's just how people are, and restrictions sound fine until an item you actually want is restricted against you.

Someone needs to call out the elephant in the room. Mental disorders are a serious problem that's given a pass far too often :^)

Being gay or balking at artificial designations of which gender can wear what is not a mental disorder.

Some boys like pink. Nothing is wrong with this.

Some boys like boys. Nothing is wrong with this either.

There is something wrong with Labeling someone who doesn't share your opinions as mentally disordered, however.

Some boys like pink. Nothing is wrong with this.

Fun fact: pink used to be considered a masculine colour (something about it being a strong colour, while blue was delicate).

[Souljacker]

There's quite a swath of population that don't consider that fact fun at all. It's... weird how people get all bound up over such a non-issue as what arrangement of pixels can utilize another arrangement of pixels.
