    Hence, the wrong part lol. Showing skin =/= "slutty" as I'm sure if your mother or sister or any female member of your family is still around whenever you see them showing a little skin you would not call them that, now would you?

    Perhaps slutty isn't the best word to describe it but they are certainly provocative, sexualized, and/or scantily clad. You can't possibly deny that.

    I have no problem with it and give no sh*ts about it, but you can't deny that female NPCs do dress (some) in a revealing fashion.
    Nobody is denying that they dress revealing. Revealing does not equal slutty, nor even sexualized in my opinion. That's just slut-shaming which is deplorable.

    The issue is calling women (or anyone, for that matter) in derogatory terms such as "slutty" for the way they do or do not dress. Using that word has the additional weight of sending a message of that person having less value because they're a woman (or, rarely, a man) expressing sexuality. It's called "slutshaming" and doing it on game discussion forums isn't any cooler than doing it in real life.

    I agree. I don't think slutty is the correct word to describe this situation. Revealing, provocative, suggestive, etc. Nothing wrong with that IRL or in game as far as I'm concerned.

    I've been playing this game since beta and I've yet to see any NPCs I'd call 'slutty'. Which ones are you talking about? (Please don't say Minfilia. If you find that outfit slutty, I really hope you never leave the Middle East.)

    I'd say the U tribe (I think that's what they're called) in the forgotten springs is a good example.

    And thanks for the racist remark btw ^^.

    That's revealing, not slutty. Those are not mutually exclusive. And my remark wasn't racist. I didn't make any statements about any race. I made a statement about a geographical region well known for oppressing females and viewing even the slightest bit of skin as not just "slutty", but a crime. I suggest you go find a dictionary before you water down the term racist any more than it already is.

    While everyone has their own opinion...the definition, however, does not change.
