Stop FFXIV Gender Inequality!

[No2631]

To those who make the argument: "if you want to wear a dress, go roll female"; that is not an acceptable solution. If males have to change their gender just to wear female equipment, where the reverse is not true, it's not a fair compromise. These are enlightened times where same-sex marriage is allowed, but for now it's not possible to have one of the marriage partners wear a dress if they aren't female.

To those who make the argument: "you're a minority, so you're not worth the effort"; still paying customers whose memberbase will only grow as more female-exclusive gear becomes introduced. Just because we're a minority doesn't mean we can't ask for the things we'd like to see in the game and get it up for consideration. The glasses lovers get a massive lot of variety, throw the crossdressers a bone. Even if it's hopeless or pointless, if you don't let people know what you want there's no way they'll consider it. This way, SE knows It's A Thing we want to see happen.

I, for one, intend to be optimistic and believe SE will seriously consider this request for the option for males to wear dresses and sexy bunny outfits.

This community scares me with the overly politicly correct bs. I'm on board for a ton of stuff and equality, sure all day. This is a bit much IMO. Quote me, hate me, and curse me but I don't care. Damn forum warriors jumping on the stupidest things is all it is.

SE, don't listen to them please.

People say there is not enough demands and yet many complain about 'this thread again' every time the topic is about crossdressing/women clothing for men/gear restriction. In the last two forums talking about this I've seen more people for it or that don't care than people that are against it; somehow I'm pretty sure there are many more of us than what people suggest.
They just really need to answer us, a simple 'we might think of it' or not could be the start of an answer. If SE was able to do it for a few gear they can probably find the time to do a few more.

Has this been a thread about adding more glasses or high heels they probably would have replied asap...

PS; people have also only showed support to this ideal on the reddit talking about the bunny being gender locked. so far i'm seeing more + than - and most people who don't want it just seem to be scared of men.

For me it's not about political correctness or wanting my male Roe to wear a thong bikini. Females have more glamour options than males. Period. That's fact. Cannot be debated.

They need to either

1) Make all outfits in the game gender-neutral.

or

2) For every female-only outfit, design a corresponding male-only outfit.

I'll voice support for this. I don't really like the idea of men dressing as women, but imo equal choices for every player should be available. As far as the gender inequality goes to extend to my interests, I'd like men to be able to wear whatever they want, and I'd also like women to be able to be as tall as male characters... I understand it's their design choice, but personally I don't like catgirls being forced to be short. Just my two cents...

I don't wanna cross dress, but it'll be nice to have a masculized version of the bunny costume.

I felt the same way, but looking at half of these posts I really think these are people who are just stirring the pot because they can. Just someone who wants attention, I don't think anyone is really concerned or upset. At least I hope not.

You can say the same thing about the "Give characters actual hips" and "Give males Chest Hair" and look at where that ends up.

All I know is, it would be really nice to see some sexy bunny dudes wearing a little bow tie collar and a little speedo with a puffball tail and bunny ears.

Or is that just me? I'm an equal opportunity ogler.

I wouldn't care if both sexes could wear the bunny outfit although in all honesty, if I did see any male in the exact version shown, I would definitely get a good laugh and think they look terrible (that's just my opinion)

But hey they wanna wear it, more power to them!

The other pictures submitted as suggestions from the players are actually quite nice and compliment a male rather well imo.

I love glamor in any game!...but if males had more then females, I wouldn't give it a second thought. I don't need to have the exact same # of glamours then the other sex to enjoy the game. If some do, then again, I hope they listen and change their stance on the outfit.

I would be a lot more interested in unrestricting due to class/job then sex.

Hopefully they eventually equal out the # of glamours since ppl are actually counting them O.o....and everyone can be happy. No harm to ask yup.
