Bulge size options for character creation.

I'm also not convinced that it is truly a 'minority' of people who appreciate such aspects of the male form, either. Up until recently, people were persecuted for their sexuality after all - and in some countries, they still risk being killed for it. I imagine that plays a large part in people being quiet about their tastes - and it's very telling that when progress is made in regards to the acceptance of sexuality in a particular country then there's a lot of people who come out as homosexual or bisexual.

Appeal have nothing to do with sexuality, you know? The primary physical points of appeal in men going by questionnaires usually involve musculature. Heck, the focus is on the upper body part, not the lower. It is, in fact, similar in women, except the points of appeal are the defining traits (face, hair etc) rather than the body type, with the exception of buttocks (which, ironically, in this game are non-existent despite being statistically more important than breasts).

Both men and women, heterosexual and homosexual can say that someone is handsome or attractive. It was most always the case, except when surrounded by the most extreme parts of the society. You can be 100% heterosexual and say that some guy is handsome and takes care of himself without anyone saying anything other than "I agree" or "I disagree". Similarly a woman can be 100% heterosexual and can say that some woman is beautiful, to a similar result.

Don't mix points of appeal with romantic interests. They are two entirely different things, even if the latter does work nicely with the former at times.

since when the anatomy is taboo? XD

Imo it's the same thing than having a character with none eyes or no ears, hello people/SE 0/ men have a bulge maybe you are discovering this idk XD

Just another detail which prooves that this game is clearly focused on female characters lol

Ripped pecs. Nippleless ripped pecs.

The revival of this thread was worth it just to read this line. Laughed way too much at this lol

As an aside, there's an option for one of the characters in FFXV - Gladio - to strip until he's shirtless. He didn't lack nipples, thankfully. I'm not sure why there's such an aversion to nipples for men in FFXIV. I do have some theories, though they're perhaps a bit too controversial to voice here...

It might just be a cultural thing. If you've watched any anime, males will typically have no nipples with a few exceptions. I haven't really looked into other Japanese media so I don't know how to compare this.

I am neutral to the thread suggestion. Males look weird without their anatomy, but I think the lack of butt is weirder. Butts for all.

I'd like for bulges, especially in gear where it makes sense that one would show up. There doesn't need to be a slider, as such, but Overwatch went ahead with them and the world did not end, plus it's nice to have males who don't look like flatpacks down there. I don't see the point in pretending men don't have something down there - it just looks weird, tbh.

Too much pixels, too much data --> server explosion cause of bulges and butts XD i prefer laugh about it even if i think it's a bit saddening we are soon in 2019 add this to the thread concerning the lack of character customization and we have a combo.

It's only a necro if it's no longer relevant.
