Is it possible to create a 100% male guild ?

You’re mixing up sex with gender; you’re assigned a sex at birth, not a gender.

It’s same thing. Change my mind

Think my favorite thing about these kinds of threads is that the first 1-2 pages is always like "HAH!! BAAAAAAIT" and then it hits 10+ pages with like philosophical debates and stuff about all kinds of things that no one actually cares about because nothing that any of you says is going to make anyone here think differently than they already do for even a fraction of a second. Their minds are already made up in what they believe no matter how stupid or blatantly untrue it is, so then it just becomes a battle of which side is either getting the most pats or which side is more "morally/politically" correct.

Anyway, you can absolutely have this FC! You can literally have any FC you want. No matter who screams and cries about not being let in. Generally nobody cares about FCs-not until someone says 'you cant join' anyway, then suddenly everyones posting their life story and self discovery struggle like anyone cares which they dont. If you want to avoid trouble I guess don't advertise it but. You can still have it. Just talk to people and recruit only those that you see fit and don't let them for any reason sneak in someone who doesnt fit. Anyone upset can also make their own FC.

I'm calling bull on this because I have joined male only linkshells and fellowships that are explicitly state to be non-romantic dudes hanging out spaces and have not heard a peep about these groups getting banned for being male only, I'm agreeing with the others that you probably had some homophobic drivel in the description that ACTUALLY got you banned.

if you're willing to explain, i am actually curious on why you take this approach. do you allow women and nonbinary people with male characters join, or do you make sure they're all men irl too? no hate, i am just curious on why.

I don’t know him, so I only speak for myself

I’ve been a member of such communities before. We don’t hate women nor femininity. We’re just there to speak whatever we want in whatever way we like without the risk of offending women.

Sometimes we just like to talk shit to each other, but we can’t do that in front of women

See, it's bait threads like this, that just create even more strife between the different classes of people who play this game.

Now, I understand if some of this is, "Truthful." Because I do see FC's recruiting who mention they are, mostly female or mostly LGBTQA+, but no where do they say, "You HAVE to be one of these to join." Obviously a guy could join the mostly female FC, as long as they're not a dog and think they're going to be in some sort of harem scenerio, like an anime... or when joining a LGBTQA+ FC, as long as you're not there to poke fun or be otherwise ignorant, then you should be fine.

In the end, this thread's topic, sounds very much like troll bait, posted by someone who knows how ridiculous they are being, in an attempt to get people riled up.

*Side Note* I am willing to bet you got Banned on your farm account, due to the use of certain, against ToS, 3rd party programs... But I could be wrong.

Oh man I remember that. As a joke I made a men only discord post as a joke. I was temp banned for 10 days. Good times.

I don't have any problem to play with female players since ff14 is casual.

Pretty sure this attitude has explained the whole story of why you were banned. Whenever I see guys in gaming say this type of thing I laugh because I'm a woman that's probably raided in MMOs longer than they've been alive.

As for making an FC for men and you don't have this kind of attitude towards women? I don't think anyone would care. I have a few guy friends that are in CWLS or FCs that are specifically for LGBT men. I'm not at all offended that they're in those CWLS/FCs as I know their intent isn't "women suck at this game so I'm not going to play with them". If my guy friends want a space to talk about guy stuff it doesn't bother me as I know it's not because they see me as lesser. I don't think they care that I go to my girl friends for specific discussions either.

Literally every single word this person has said in this thread

Thank you so much, it's been so long since I saw this level of awkwardness :,,D

P.S:
The person hard-carrying me through content and teaching me how to play properly is a woman.

With love

You can if you want. Just don't run around being misogynistic.
