So that's where it is

Those terms are criticism and meant to inspire introspection, you purely taking it as an insult and not a claim that is made because of an issue. Is a problem
Why do people keep pretending masculine female representations don't exist with the races? Don't we have Thighlanders and Roegadames? Why do people keep pretending that cutesy and graceful males don't get representation like Lalafellas and Manquo'te? I get wanting to go against the status quo, appeal to variety, but this horsecrap about FFXIV being P R O B L E M A T I C because there's one more race where the women are feminine and the males are masculine needs to fucking end. It's not a problem--especially since the other varied representations of women and men already exist in the game.

Please stop.
