Please Stop Genderlocking Gear

[SophiaDL]

Let's just cut through all the crap right now:

"This does not look good on men", or "Men should be masculine", are not actual reasons to to keep men from wearing the stockings with garter belts.

Nor is "What if teens playing this game see this" because that is a parent's job, not the goddamn world's (plus your teen has already likely seen worse by now). It is a parents job to determine what their kid sees when they turn on their computer.

There is not a single argument for why men should not have gotten the stockings (not even the actually rather decent "What about the game's own personal choice of aesthetics?" because men already have a few pairs of stockings.) and I have yet to see any actually decent argument proposed in favor of keeping the stockings genderlocked/varianted.

Reasons for why they should not do the gender lock/variant are better though:
1. Less dev work as a whole (if we presume they don't have just a slacks generator at this point)
2. Keeping customer trust (these were stockings in the photo on the live letter. They were on the female model, however, that is my first impression, which means I was expecting stockings)
3. Less moderator work as a whole (less of these threads!)
4. More variance in glamours
5. ACTUALLY KEEPING IN LINE WITH THE FACT IT IS A COSPLAY GLAMOUR.
6. Making the people who wanted the stockings on their men happy, as very few (if any) people would have quit the game over stockings, and if they did, well, that's their own issue and they probably should have quit the game a long time back.

All of this is literally your opinion, just like the people that have the opposite opinion

Also your points are completely moot

Less dev work as a whole (if we presume they don't have just a slacks generator at this point)

That makes no sense, its double to work to adapt to both genders and different looks of it

Keeping customer trust (these were stockings in the photo on the live letter. They were on the female model, however, that is my first impression, which means I was expecting stockings)

There's been a lot of things on live letters, even on expansion pictures that didnt happen, it never led to "massive community distrust"

3. Less moderator work as a whole (less of these threads!)

Will be replaced by literally any other topic, absolutely moot point

4. More variance in glamours

There's already a lot of variety, this wouldnt help much at all, if anything we should be requesting more glams in general, not just the gendered stuff.

5. ACTUALLY KEEPING IN LINE WITH THE FACT IT IS A COSPLAY GLAMOUR.

Literally doesnt matter.

6. Making the people who wanted the stockings on their men happy, as very few (if any) people would have quit the game over stockings, and if they did, well, that's their own issue and they probably should have quit the game a long time back.

Goes both ways. If you absolutely want tights for men, then just leave?
