You were never sincere to begin with, seeing as you went right to back-stalking.

The only Gender Bias that exists is a cultural one, and that is because power structures are in place to keep them that way. When that applies to game development, just like in the parallel "race" thread, the developers will never put something in the game that requires personal knowledge they would not have, because it will come off bad. Thus a lot of "oh that's sexist/racist" comments a game receives, are because a game is developed by people who do not have that personal experience to call upon, and it shows. Better to not do something, than to do it poorly and be embarrassed by the lack of informed development choices. FFXIV Version 1.0 called, says they're still sorry for not having Male Catboys and not having more than one Female Roe. What research did they do made them think players wouldn't want gender choices?

Putting a butt or package slider in a game is not the equivalent of a bust or hair slider. One is about making the character look a way you want to be perceived, the other is making a character a power fantasy where bulging muscle tone, body hair, packages, breast sizes, etc are exaggerated because the people who want them DO NOT CARE if it's unrealistic. That's fine, let game developers put whatever wacky character options they want in. Customers will see right through anything that is thoughtless, and "package" sliders are an example of a developer not even knowing why it's thoughtless. You put that in a game, and then that becomes the thing the game is known for. And probably gets it banned outside of Europe.
