Ungendered sit poses, please?

[Avoidy]

Sure all the regular guys would like their male character to suddenly sit like a modest woman with a dress. Pretty selfish idea. Same goes for the ladies as well. My sister for sure would love to see her character spreading her legs

I genuinely don't understand the complaint here. If you just type /cpose then you're not sitting that way anymore. OP isn't asking for people to be stuck with only those emotes; he's asking for those sitting emotes in addition to the ones we already have.

And just adding on, I'm saying this as a woman who sits like this irl. Because idk, women sit like this too? Because it's comfortable?
And as if male elezen don't already have a tight sit that would go against this necessity for spreading. Estinien literally sits cross legged and tight.
There's no reason to keep sit poses gendered. It's arbitrary.

It's not uniqueness when they're arbitrarily locking stuff based on gender. This issue is more like the unlocking of gendered clothing than it is stripping races of their unique animations. They arbitrarily separated the animations. They can fix that if they want because there are a Lot of people who want this fix.

And there is no one holding you at gunpoint to use this. It's literally about people who would want this, and there's nothing unique about gender restrictions and it's a bad precedent to set when they're being more inclusive in other fields.

Are you thinking before you type? I don't mean that as an insult either. It's a FACT that things being exclusive makes them unique. Don't matter how you or I feel about it.
It's clear where your head is when you claim the way it is now is broken and needs fixing. Nothing is broken. They made this choice for a reason and it works as intended.

Never said anyone was holding me at gunpoint for anything. Why so extreme? I simply like the idea of my Highlander have exclusive things. Again you saying there's nothing unique about gender restrictions is factually false. Also sets a bad precedent? For what? This ain't the real world and the game isn't going to cater to your whim nor mine at every turn. Not everything needs to be and is going to be inclusive. Just how it is

So what exactly is the deal here? Is it uniqueness, inconvenience, or both? Cause I am somewhat lost on what is the actual complaint or reasoning that is a bad idea.

What don't you understand of racial uniqueness is not the same as arbitrarily gendered stuff. It's not unique, it's a restriction that forces people by gender to play a specific role. Again: many articles of clothing used to be locked by gender. They acknowledged that this was wrong and are fixing it. The devs have acknowledged that restrictions by gender is not the way to move forward, so that should also apply to these genderlocked animations. Because how someone sits should not be gendered.

It's a lot of bad faith arguing that's taking "we shouldn't gender the new sitting poses" as "gender should have unique animations that fit stereotypical gendered presentation and you're wrong for wanting to remove the uniqueness of it." As well as a tiny inconvenience.
It's making a mountain out of a molehill when it's literally just letting people express themselves however they so wish, even if they want to continue to play into the existing gendered stuff.

Wait, what "role" are you being "forced" to play? That's one of the weirdest takes I've heard on here yet.

It's not "wrong" to have gender specific clothing, animations or poses and it's not something that needs "fixing" because it's not broken.

I'm guessing you missed the entire zone of nonbinary Fae folk who go by they/them, the Steppe Xaela Au Ra lore about gender, the new female NPC who uses male emotes and weapon poses and, well, the list of a hundred glamours that are no longer gender exclusive including dresses, high heels and bathing suits. I think you're a bit late on cancelling your sub, lmao.

Last I checked these are all NPCs whose feelings aren't getting hurt by exclusive sitting poses. That would be the overly sensitive folk within this thread.

Those who are against blurring and obscuring the lines that define one sex from another aren't complaining about those NPCs and situations in the game. We may not support those decisions, but it is what is and we move on.

But it's totally broken because my catgirl doesn't have access to them all! I should have access to everything on my catgirl because she's the Warrior of Light and super special!

Mostly because all of that isn't constantly and blatantly shoved in our faces at all times.

In the case of the fae, they aren't even human so appying the human binary on them wouldn't make sense.
