Ungendered sit poses, please?

Yet you said

And? Is there supposed to be some kind of a point you're trying to make? I stated an opinion in my initial post. Nothing more. You don't see me or anyone else starting threads complaining about these NPCs, marriages in game between same sex couples, or any of the other virtue signaling that the game is filled with. If something in the game bothered me so much that I start talking nonsense like it affects the sake of my comfort and ruins my enjoyment, I would just unsub.

I wouldn't consider how I sit to have anything to do with defining my sex.

And it would be ridiculous if you did. That's not what I'm saying though. There are still masculine, and feminine mannerisms. "Masculine" meaning associated with the male sex, and "Feminine" being associated with the female sex. When a female does, says, or acts in a way that is behavior typically associated with a man, it is considered masculine. If a man sits with his legs crossed, and folds his fingers over his knee, this is considered being effeminate because females are known to sit that way, not men. The masculine way for a man to sit is to place the ankle of one leg on the knee of his other leg in a 'figure-4' manner'. Then there's the manspreading, which has taken on that name for a reason. A female sitting like this does not make her a man. But in my view, it does make her disgusting.

Such a shame I have to spell this out. Sad, really. I'm not even sure most of you even know what feminine and masculine even is. All evidence to the contrary.

Anywho, carry on folks.

Why does any of this matter? Maybe I am blind, but if a man sits a certain way all I see is a man sitting. I can tell you for one no thought of masculine or feminine ever cross my mind. Not trying to come off as an ass but it is scary that you have put this much thought into. I mean end of the day don't people normally sit in a way that is most comfortable? Does comfort have to have some masculine or feminine traits?

I misunderstood then, that's on me.

Yes, but they're social constructs. Rather flimsy ones that vary with culture and time, to the point where they become contradictory. I mentioned some of these contradictions before either in this thread or another one. Pink has been male and female. Heels have been male and female. Makeup has been male and female. I don't care if you or anyone else wants to follow these rules, that's a personal choice. What's appropriate for me or my fictional characters is up to me though, and I feel like in a RPG style game with character customization it only makes sense to give me control over all aspects of my characters. The devs will do what they want, it's their game, but some of their decisions are going to be more or less popular with some people.

Even the game in its current state is not that strict. Male Elezen, Au Ra and Miqo'te all have model-specific sitting poses with legs crossed tight, one knee hooked over the other leg. Male Viera (not exactly an argument for keeping genders strictly defined) have a demure hands-folded-in-lap pose alongside a more masculine one. Im not sure if anyone uses the figure-4 pose, at least out of the characters I've tested.
