Gender Locked Gear

Some make perfect sense at least.

Like the South Seas Talisman, girls can't wear that without pushing up the ESRB rating.

Well, not necessarily...it could come with a well placed Lei, presumably attached with some form of magical body adhesive to protect modesty.



Besides, online interactions are not rated by the ESRB....

Now you see it.


Now you don't.

I feel like that wouldn't look very good, though

Also online interactions only apply to actual interactions with other people, hehe.

I know... It's a terrible shame. :/ Bunny boys = love

Bunny people are disgusting and I hope males can never wear the ears.

Very true, although in a game where players can alter their appearance and wardrobe, there is still some element of what Iw as suggesting - as you can see in the pictures I posted in an edit that sadly happened after you replied. Kosmos is clearly wearing something, but that is obscured by foreground objects. Very simple and traditional camera trickery to create faux nudity. Kosmos would definitely appreciate a costume with a well placed Lei as a top, maybe that's a Miqo'te thing though?

lol, A friend of mine wears one of the Usagi helms all the time. I think he'd be very happy to be able to simply wear the ears alone (along with the rest of his normal costume!!) sometimes.

That just means they aren't responsible for what other players say. Glamour items =/= online interactions.

I take personal offense to this as someone who identifies as a member of the GLBT community.

Are you lost? This isn't tumblr. You don't need to throw the LGBT card around in an attempt to give weight to your argument.

This seems like a gross overreaction when literally the only difference between the items is the color of a feather.

Also, it seems that the female toons are allowed to wear much of the "male" gear (though not all of it I'll admit) while the males can't wear female pieces at all and that is blatant discrimination. If female toons can wear items traditionally for men, the male toons should be able to also don a dress or bunny ears should they so desire. This time you've gone too far, SE. Fix this.

This has been a point of contention for a long time now. Females get tons of glamour options that males have no counterpart to, in essence giving us "Female" and "Unisex" glamours for most items. It's been discussed ad nauseam in countless threads and many of us that play male avatars (not all of which are actually male IRL) would definitely like more glamour options.

But seriously, you're that mad about the hats? This is the straw you've declared as having broken the camel's back? It seems like a pretty weak one and the shameful amount of hyperbole you're indulging in just makes your post look a bit silly. :/

No its not an overraction, its really stupid to genderlock an item for such a thing, someone lost work hours genderlocking a hat because it had a pink termination. Thats what your subscription is paying for, and if you are ok with that, then whatever.

Genderlocking items should come to an end completely, period, this kind of silly locks on items only add to the fault of the excesive ammount of genderlocked items already in game.

I'm actually fine with genderlocking as long as there's an equivalent for each gender. I don't like the current "Female/Unisex" distribution of glamours at all. On the other hand, I'd be just as happy without genderlocking. It should be all or nothing. But seriously, taking "personal offense" to these hats in particular (to the point where they had to go all tumblr on us and mention the LGBT thing) and declaring this precise item as the point where SE has "gone too far" is a little silly if you ask me.

Hate that some things are genderlocked. For a cosplay that i'm trying to do i need some short pants and the hempen underpants would seem to fit, but I cant use them because I have a female character.
I could understand somewhat for dresses to be genderlocked but even that seems ridiculous when you look at some of the tomestone gear that clearly are skirts wearable by males?!

Yeah, the hat being gender locked is very odd, something like the bunny ears, too.
Although we really can't win them all.

While at that, I really disagree on people who want the race-specific gear to be allowed for everybody though. There's not much gear diversity in the races. Same with male-only gear being wearable by females, there's never much incentive for players to choose a male character.

At least some of the Esoteric gear is somewhat different for both genders. I hope they make it look more different for both next time.

Because skirts are something males actually accept wearing...in days of old that is, and depends on what kind it is. Not surprising it's the same in Hydaelyn.
