    I find it weird to associate some animals with "masculinity" and "feminity"... meh. Humans are weird

    What's also weird is that, at least in the west, I can really only think of masculine rabbit examples.
    (peter rabbit, bugs bunny, roger rabbit, rabbit from winnie the pooh, Buster from Arthur, thumper, the white rabbit from alice in wonderland)

    So like, "rabbits can't be masculine enough" is weird on a biological (and I do hate to use this word, but really rational) standpoint, but "female rabbits are the only normal depiction" is weird on a cultural standpoint as well.

    Maybe it's a modern japanese thing. Tsukuyomi, the japanese god of the moon, is female in FFXIV, and has rabbit ears because the moon is associated with rabbits in Japan.

    Which is odd because tsukuyomi in real mythology is male @@

    Yes it's really odd, I don't really like when gods change gender in some video games, like Shiva in FF

    Funny how he would use bugs bunny for the “tease”, then...
