STOP Genderlocking Cosmetics!!

[Yencat]

I totally forgot about the fact that this game is rated T for Teens. For them to keep pushing this lifestyle in a game that's rated for underage children is crossing the line. If I had a child and they kept allowing men to wear dresses I would not let them play this game. Underage children should not be exposed to this lifestyle. If I was a parent I want my children to procreate, and I will do everything within my power to unsure my bloodline continues. The promotion of this lifestyle goes against that.

By all means, and if you're cool with the way things are in terms of gender locked gear then that's obviously on topic and fine, but there's a lot of "I don't want X I want Y instead" about different things going on.

If people want more masculine hairstyles and glamours (which is a totally fair request) but they only ever seem to bring them up in topics about other things and then go back to quietly stewing about it, is it that surprising it's not getting much attention?

There's no need for any of that, we're fine with what they're adding. Opposing the idea of more crossdressing here is by all means the correct way to go about it. Until such a time that I choose to make a thread opposing this kind of exposure.

I don't think that's the case. People have made threads on the subject asking for more masculine looking hairstyles and glamour or contributed to threads where it's a viable part of the topic only to be drowned out by a very vocal minority who appear to have some issues with anything that isn't overly feminine or androgynous.

For example, despite a lot of people asking for masculine options for male viera an aggressive minority decided to effectively hijack the thread and shouted down those of us who asked for a compromise in the form of a generous height slider, at least one traditionally masculine base face option and a decent amount of muscle mass.

Then there's the simple fact that many of us arguing in favour of more masculine hairstyles/gear have been doing so, as this thread proves:
