Gender Discrimination Needs to Stop

[Yamimarik]

/snip

Sword cuts both ways by the way... same can be said about straight people as well, please don't flaunt your "straightness" in others faces, they've heard enough about it, keep it to yourself, in your real life. Please don't bring your straight sexuality into Eorzea. I'm not trying to be rude or anything.

OT:
I feel it really isn't "gender discrimination" more like an oversight and it probably doesn't look well on the male model in game. Though I personally wish there was more male locked gear, just to keep it even with the female locked gear I suppose. Least we have the south seas talisman over them >:3

The mere fact that you are alive means your parents were involved in a straight encounter. Since the races in Eorzea seem to have two genders and they tend to age, reproduce and die just like humans do in real life, "straightness" isn't easily hidden.

He's very obviously referring to the players, and he's right. Anyone who treats this game as some kind of ERP dating service, or somewhere to flaunt their sexuality no matter their orientation, should be smacked upside the head. It's a damn fantasy MMO. Play the game, enjoy the story, and get that loot.

Edit: It should be noted that homosexuality is seen frequently among the NPCs in Eorzea. There doesn't seem to be a taboo against homosexual relationships, but only against marriage. I mentioned this earlier in the thread. Marriage in Eorzea seems to be treated as a business transaction.
Anyway, this thread isn't even about homosexuality. It's about people wanting to crossdress because they do it in real life and therefore absolutely MUST do it in every video game they play so everyone knows just how crossdressy and progressive they are.

I agree! upvote just play and have fun.

Actually, most of the ERPing I've seen going on seemed to be same-sex, for some reason.

In any case, men wearing dresses is just going to weird people out. This game already allows male characters to dress in quite provocative ways, more than I've seen in any other MMORPG I've played - I really don't think they have to be able to wear wedding dresses on top.
Real life nudists don't get to live out their lifestyle in games either, and, as far as mainstream games go at least, never will.

Well, that became aggressive quickly.

As both sides of the argument have been made, I will be closing the thread due to the uncivil tone of the posts within. If this thread should be started again with a civil opener and polite discussion of both sides, it may be allowed to continue. If it should be started again in a manner that begets aggressiveness and conflict, it may be removed with account actions for creating a thread with the intent of making a negative impact on the community.

Any reports already made within the thread will be investigated and handled appropriately.
