Are FF14 players more feminine

[magtuired]

I know this is most likely a troll thread but I do find people's perspective in this regard interesting; Cultural norms are different from place to place, I wouldn't say FFXIV is exceptionally "feminine" by japanese game standards and things that we would consider feminine traits aren't necessarily read that way in Japan.

Likewise there are western cultural norms for men that the Japanese read as being hypermasculine and therefore associated with homosexual men.

It all depends on perspective and personally I see FFXIV's appeal to women and the LGBT community as a net postive for the environment of the game and it's long term health and longevity.

In my experience guys who obsess about their masculinity also have a tendency to hate women in revealing clothes.

Ok but there’s nothing wrong with men having preferences.

I don't know. I was at a speed dating event last night and everyone I talked to was a guy XD. Here I was hoping to find someone and see how things went

Serious answer: I think FFXIV is just one of those games that appeals to both men and women. Possibly for different reasons. When I used to raid, I was often the sole female, but in a roleplay community I'm in the majority are overwhelmingly female, even though the characters are 50/50.

Just give my Highlander males eyebrows!! That’s what I need! Thankfully my tastes in male characters are pretty varied so I can enjoy my Viera. And he doesn’t scream androgynous to me, but back to my point. Male Highlander.....eyebrows.

Yes! Give these poor dudes some eyebrows PLEASE!
I‘m also hoping for some handsome face options added for them with a future character creation update.
Imagine highlanders with face options akin to snow‘s or sonon‘s - they‘d be more popular in an instant if you ask me.

I don't know, but I see alot of male viera in my JP server... Meanwhile the hunk races are really few...

Maybe they prefer J-rock style more I guess

Bara is more of a Western appealing power fantasy/style and not that popular in the east outside of a fringe population. Male Viera are also well... easier to glam than Male Miqo while still giving the same "pretty boy" look, which is much more popular in the East than the West. Male Viera are also easier to look feminine than male Miqote, imo.

ehhh there's a diff between gymbro and bara
trust me, i am a connoisseur

The Thai red curry paste is a big shortcut if you can find it in the stores.

And use regular coconut milk, not light, otherwise the sauce might come out too watery.

I did something pretty similar to this, but I used a totally different vegetable profile since my husband has the palette of a toddler and won't eat broccoli or carrots. I used onion and green peppers in addition to the red peppers, instead.
