What Zero Could've Been

[Tsiron]

People who like traditional gender presentation are in the minority?

Press X to doubt.

They should be.

They should be.

Keep your hateful ideologies out of this game.

Thanks.

They should be.

As a gay guy who likes masculine men, that doesn't make much sense to me. Men are inherently masculine by nature - the extent varies, but the men who aren't masculine to some degree are very much a minority. If they became the majority, why should those of us who enjoy the 'default aesthetics' so to speak, miss out?

I think it's important to remember that the majority is under no obligation to revolve around the whims of the minority. I think everybody's entitled to their individual preferences - within reason - but when the pushing goes too far, I don't think it'll be pleasant when the pendulum inevitably swings in the opposite direction as it has many other times throughout human history as it'll likely result in eroding away a lot of the patience and sympathy towards different perspectives and preferences.

Maybe because the default is what is peddled in our faces every dang day. Most people don't look like that aesthetic and would love it to be not shoved into our faces as much as it is. I remember when the ShB trailer came out and there were threads made by people who got excited to see the few fat Miqo'te. Even some with asking to be able to have it as an option in the character creator. Even in what we do get I'd say that it's above what most people look like. Except for maybe midlanders as the one thing they have going for them is the chance of flawless skin.

Anyway I love what we've gotten so far with Zero and I'm looking forward to how she'll develop. @VictorTheed her look as Zenos's avatar is mostly masculine, but if you looked closely to their face it's of a man covering the eyes a of a lady.
