    Well, for starters there's no need for those opposed to the suggestion that is this thread to be bringing complicated political and social issues into the conversation to begin with. Not liking someone's character design or choice of glamour is in no way a case of bigotry. Nobody playing this game is actually their character.

    It's also pretty alarming for people who identity as gay, bisexual, lesbian and so on are being treated like a hive-mind. Diversity also includes diversity of thought and diversity of opinion. Please stop trying to force specific stances on something as trivial as glamour in an online game as being representative of every single person.

    The original idea in the initial post of this thread is pretty reasonable and an efficient compromise. It isn't 'erasure'. It's just hiding pixels on a screen that some people do not find interesting or enjoyable to look at - which is absolutely their right. We're all different and have broad tastes, after all.

    It's also deceptive to place such a high emphasis on people not wanting to look at men in dresses when a significant number of people have expressed their support for the idea for many different reasons throughout the thread.

    I hit the post limit, so I'll respond to the above quote here. The term 'and so on' is a pretty common phrase in the UK and not at all meant to be offensive or exclusionary.
