Customizable gender identity? (for emotes)

[Lihtleita]

It's more the players than the game, personally i don't wanna have anything to do with it.

While having customizable emotes is fine in my book the rest is "Why?"

you misunderstand, i mean there are already gender politics in the game, most people just dont notice them because they are ones most people agree with almost instinctivly. we live in a society, etc,.

"girl wear dress" is as much a gender politic as "what if boy wear dress?"

(i dont mean this in an aggressive way btw)

If we look back in history men also used to wear a skirt for example at renaissance times in Italy.
So Fashion is a state of mind for most people, what works for you might not be in other's taste and vice versa.

But i get what you mean!

Please keep gender politics out of this game, thanks!

Me wanting to hold my bow in a different way is not gender politics. There is nothing particularly masculine about holding your bow in a casual manner.

They have already added a bow that is excactly the same for both female and male. /easternbow

I said hold my bow. Not do a bow. Please try to not intentionally misunderstand what I said. It's not a good look.

Well that's reasonable, i did misunderstand it. I've already said before that i don't see a problem with thoose things, different /cpose would be nice i guess.

I'd be fully in support of something like this in a new game, built from the ground up with it in mind. However, going in and allowing custom pronouns for emotes, when all of that stuff is hard coded to your gender selection at character creation, may be more development work that is feasible, especially considering it'd only make sense to have this apply to how npcs address you in dialog as well.

Female Lala dance emote is nice, Male lala Eye mount posture is nice, etc.
Being able to choose for one or the other would be nice!

I feel like having gender-specific emotes as a point of distinction is lame.
Why would my character's gender matter in how he takes a stance when he's just standing around?
It feels particularly odd in this game where you can be any job on any character of any race... So why would my character's gender matter in something as mundane as say, crossing your arms in some emote or another?

To put it bluntly, sounds like a waste of time.

I always say this but people are struggling to tell the difference between male and female viera as it is. Why make them even more similar?

Why do you need to know the difference?
