Smoking emote.

[Flay_wind]

Yet no one sees the issue with the mention of drug using, alcohol drinking, talk of r--e in some quests, the "dancing girls" in Ul'dah, and many more things .... it's smoking people find disgusting ... /mindboggle

For one of Vath quests you essentially make and deliver some weed to the soldiers at Tailfeather.

Do those themes being in the game mean we need a r--e emote? An NPC doing something one time is different from all players freely doing it in every city and dungeon.

How would a rape emote actually play out in game? They do not seem to be comparable actions.

I see we're jumping to extreme absolutes now.

Uhhh... its because nobody is asking for a drinking(alcohol) emote and getting s**t faced, asking to r**e or being a stripper...well actually someone did ask to be a stripper actually.
People are weird.

We already have a drinking emote, bro, its called /toast.

I for one am all for it. There are plenty of NPCs that are seen smoking around the game and have a lit Cigar housing item. If you don't want to use it, don't get it. I do think if it is ever implemented that it should be a Cash item much like the "Toast" emote where we raise a mug of "beer" in cheers.

Too many people cringe about smoking because "it's bad for you" but so is drinking alcohol ad we have plenty of Alcohol references and housing items in game that are canon (Drunk Moogles anyone?) It is a game that is VERY RPG heavy and many people like to envision thei characters as a smoker, even if they as a person are not.

To be fair, we don't know its alcohol though. Doesn't say its alcohol so its just assumptions just based off MH and that's just one scene too in MHW.

Same could be said about the smoking emote. It is a fantasy game it could some special substance that has no negative effects on the person or anyone around.

Though I do wonder if people would still be against it due to the implications behind the action itself in the real world and would still ignore the fantasy aspect.

idk what monster hunter has to do with it, but that's very clearly a beer mug, and i don't remember the last time i saw someone chug a glass of water and react the way you do in the emote. i have seen toasts of ale and beer go down that way however.

edit: actually just checked its description on the mogstation. It is referred to as "grog" there, which is a term for an alcoholic beverage, usually beer. The addition of the phrase, "just make sure it stays down..." Is also quite telling.

Because the emote is from monster hunters. Or rather, inspired.

I stand corrected then.
I still don't agree on smoking though. It's far more disgusting than drinking.
Keep the rat poison away from PC emotes.
