Pronouns?

[Jennah]

On the one hand, given the WoL's history as an Amaurotian and different incarnations as both genders over the millennia, 'they' makes quite a bit of sense from an RP perspective - RL politics aside. Especially in 6.0-onward, when we're fully aware of our history.

On the other, with Fantasias apparently being in-canon things and not really all that expensive - I'm not convinced that transgenderism would really be a thing in Eorzea. Or rather, that it *would* be a thing (and probably much more pervasive than on Earth to boot, since anyone 'questioning' could just buy two and switch back if unhappy) - but using a 'he'/'she' pronoun the opposite of the physical body would be really strange, since it's very simple to just change the physical body instead.

I forget the quest but yeah fantas are canon ingame items NPCs can buy and use. SE makes damn near everything canon so it's no shock to me honestly.

I don't have any memory of such a quest.

I suspect it might have something to do with the fact that the term 'bigoted' and similar phrases are thrown around so often that they have, on many fronts, lost all meaning.

There are times when the term "bigot" and "nazi" are used inappropriately. For example, if you voted for "x" that means you are a "y" which does devalue words. However, it is extremely concerning when an actual bigoted post garners so many likes.

Painting people as 'undesirables' for not being in full agreement with complicated issues is pretty abhorrent.

This is incredibly reprehensible behavior which I do not condone. I absolutely hate when people try to lump me together with the LGBTQ or whatever community simply because I'm transgender and then they speak for me like I'm part of a collective hive mind. Many of my friends are Christians and Republicans, I'm not going to hate someone simply because they hold different political opinions or religious beliefs. It's concerning how polarizing everything has become from people on all sides of the political spectrum, what happened to basic human decency?

It's really hard to simpatize when you jump at the slightest provocation and are very easily led on. It's no wonder coments like rance's get traction when there are people like you reacting to them to other viewers' amusements.

It's disturbing how people can find amusement in comments like Rances, then again people find amusement from calling black people the N-word or making sexist comments against women. So it's hardly surprising or unexpected behavior on the internet.

I mean it IS disturbing to find amusement in comments like Rance's. But it's not the comment itself what people is getting amused by to begin. it's the heated answer what they look for. That's the whole draw there is to controversial statements and trolls, and it's a huge part of what a lot of alt-right sites thrive in: in getting angry responses.

Most of these comments are far less with the intention of letting transphobic feelings out and way, WAY, more with the intention of evoking a response, and getting drawn in their game will only act in your detriment. Either you recognize the bait and learn to ignore it, or you learn to step up your sense of humor and turn the tables against them.

There's a majorly huge awesome biggest and monster like chance I'm misremembering details. but I remember being told they are canon and following it up with something in game telling me as such. Please don't hate me T.T

Fantasias aren't canon and are a meta item with required flavor text because everything in this game needs flavor text. And even if they were canon, said flavor text suggests that they're a legendary item, which would lead to the conclusion that they'd be inordinately expensive not cheap.
