Who doesnt want gear restrictions removed?

Like you said, it goes deeper. I can't express the "why" fully because it goes very far out of the scope of the thread. It goes into the eradication of gender norms and roles. It goes into politics. It goes into society being such a washed up version of itself, that video games or anything else that allows/displays a man in a dress denotes virtue signaling. Especially when I know that this dev team previously had views that would stop things like cross gender school uniforms right in its tracks.

I don't care if a man wears a dress, or a male character in a game wears one. I think they look stupid, and are contributing to a much larger problem, but I do respect their choice.

I feel like this conversation would be extremely interesting and I wish I could actually talk to you about it at length without entirely derailing the scope of the thread. As much as OP devolved into being rude and out of pocket, I don't want to do the same by derailing the convo entirely, regardless of personal feelings. I will say I think that men wearing dresses actually contributes to the eradication of a bigger problem (one I won't mention because I'd rather not get unfairly called names again), but I'm glad you respect the choice. Thanks for responding, I now kind of understand what you meant, though I think I'll always find the sentiment confusing.

I am always open to constructive conversations, and I extend my thanks to you as well for explaining and correcting me on how it confuses you. Even though we can't necessarily engage in an in-depth discussion of topics that pertain outside the game here, hopefully some posters can see how you and I initially disagreed with each other, but by simply listening and trying to understand each other's perspective, the two people engaged can remain amicable. I know I can come off as abrasive, but I am constantly on the defensive here.
