    I really think that trying to turn this into a '' progressive '' issue is a tad obnoxious and trying to spin it in a weird way.
    In the end of the day It'd just be nice with more options but I don't think that it's a political issue lol.

    There's some on male characters I think are rly dumb and others on female characters I think are dumb.
    The female ones actually tend to be better animated tho, the male ones are usually more stiff and less fluid.

    Why would my character's gender matter in how he takes a stance when he's just standing around?
    It feels particularly odd in this game where you can be any job on any character of any race... So why would my character's gender matter in something as mundane as say, crossing your arms in some emote or another?
    Are we really going to pretend like this isn't a thing irl?
    Men and women do move and tend to emote differently irl to some extent it's social but it's also because we're quite literally structured differently and find different things comfortable.
    Meme aside, men don't like to sit with their legs closed for example for quite obvious reasons.
    And women have generally wider hips and are more bottom heavy and move differently than most men do.
    Women also have breasts which affects how women might cross their arms too.

    I don't see why emotes shouldn't be more reflective of how people are irl.
    Should they all be masculine?
    Why?

    If you're going to go this hard on realism, I'd have no chance against Titan as a lalafell, no? After all, I'm incredibly small and squishy.

    Christ. What even is this reply...

    Nothing about me as a man restricts me from standing ever so slightly to the left or to the right depending on how I feel. It's as simple as that.
