Women and Armor!

[Riepah]

Yay, catfight. Just what this thread needed.

[Zedd702]

Gotta admit though, this one is actually entertaining. lol

*munches on popcorn*

You're both pretty, stop arguing. Let's get back to arguing gender equality through virtual equipment options.

[Adormus]

Yay, you quoted the correct sentence. I'm proud of you. Now all you have to do is to understand it. By the way: Quoting is not considered addressing. And you clearly did not address it.

"Or to word it a tad bit more serious". Let's analyze that. It basically means that the comment before is not to be taken seriously, while the comment coming afterwards is only ever so slightly more serious. Of course I'd apologize if anyone was offended by that. But OH WAIT. Let's read your first comment on this again. Too bad you don't even mention any insults there. All you complain about is double standards. How did we get to the insult part again? Ah yes, that was when you finally recognized that it was indeed a joke. But to save face you then proceeded to grumble over something else, which was completely unrelated to your original point.

Also you should stop putting words in my mouth. Your "You're basically saying" bullcrap is ridiculous.

[Amused]

Enough of this madness.

[Adormus]

Enough of this madness.

Are You Not Entert Amused?


Okay, okay. I'll cut it out. Back to the boring discussion.

Anyway, can we get this thread on fire again?

What Remilia said was indeed incredibly sexist; and it makes me so frustrated because I can't make him understand why it was sexist (without writing way more than I feel like right now and taking this thread even more off-topic).

Yep.

Basically it's not equal, and all here acknowledge it's not equal (but don't call it sexism! Wouldn't want to offend those who think women are there only to be their eye candy) - but hey, women should just be grateful for the attempt, right? It's CLOSE, therefore stop complaining, we should be grateful for the scraps of equality that have been graciously bestowed upon us!

Full equality in gear appearance? That's just crazy talk.

But don't listen to me, my character is named Creamy and apparently that's offensive to women.

Out again.

*I don't think "Sexy"(Don't think thats the right word but its whats been used) armor should be removed entirely and replaced by a new line of conservative armor that covers your body from head to toe like the Darksteel trash can armor, like some of you seem to be requesting, because that wouldn't be equality, it would be completely destroying one side(The side you don't like) so you don't get offended anymore (modern feminism, not that you guys are).

I don't think anyone wants this? To me equality means, if it's sexy on women, it should be sexy on men, too. As many have stated, men and women like to look at each other!

So why do guys get to look at female drg belly, but we don't get to look at male drg belly? It's not "artistic vision", so don't give me that. Because it's designed with straight men in mind, and that's the crux of the matter.

[BlaiseArath]

I do

Then you wouldn't have the Closed/Open for both, you'd have 1 copy for each. What I'm proposing is both copies for each. Which would be a lot of design choices.

What you're asking for, and what you seem to not understand, is to remove the mens choice for closed belly button so they are stuck with the one women have... this is as I stated, destroying the opposition rather than actual equality. I propose both choices for both genders, even if that would be quite tiring on development team.

Still, I think if every single piece of armor was gender neutral, it would be boring. I know plenty of women who like the choice too look a bit sexier in armor if they wish too. Is the DRG armor the only real argument you have, or is there other armor that you find looks good on the male version but not on the female? I personally think the exposed belly on DRG AF is stupid, it makes no logical sense, but that doesn't mean I want it removed, I'd rather an option to close it, like /visor for body.

Again, if any adjustments are made, I'd like both options available to each side, not just the petty old debate of "then make them suffer too!"
