Please, no... not at character creation, having to pay $10 USD plus tax to give your character a slight tan is bad enough already.

I'm a bit conflicted on the topic of making all gender- & race-unique animations available to all genders & races. On the one hand, I absolutely hate the male Au Ra Devilman Crybaby runs & the "cute little anime girl" mannerisms of female Au Ra, & I dislike a few other things about some other gender- & race-unique animations. On the other hand, it's undeniable that gender- & race-unique animations are a part of what makes a race special.

To give, say, the female Miqo'te default dance emote to a male Hyur just doesn't feel right to me. & I don't even know how you would begin to go about giving Lalafell the male Au Ra run, or vice-versa.

I would love for all the weapon idle poses & the battle pose & victory stance emotes' animations to be available to your character regardless of gender.

I would love for the default dances, idles, & sit poses of each race to be available regardless of gender-- race-locked but not gender-locked.

But I don't think that a race's unique animations should be made available to other races willy-nilly. I think that the best way to address the limited nature of gender- & race-unique animations would be to create more idles, sit poses, run cycles, etc. that could still be gender- & race-unique but would have a greater range of personality, emotion, etc.
