Counterpoint to all the Debbie Downers lately...

[TowaIsBestGirl]

Oooof, ouch wow things certainly got busy and heated in my absence. I don't even really think I want to address any of this, to be perfectly honest. Farewell for now~

her not being perceived as hot enough to attempt to justify it. Sexist nonsense, but for some reason, others choose not to see it and steadfastly maintain he has some sort of genuine point to be made.

I'd say the sheer dearth of Y'shtola fanart stands to contest this to the contrary.

Wait, I'm addressing it GO BACK

I will never tire of Happy Gr'a and his burger. The man deserves it after everything he has done.

I take umbrage with one single part. The part where he held it sidewise and almost lost the cheese. How could he, that poor burger deserves to be eaten!

Ugh, finally. Now farewell for real this time I swear. I need food and caffeine before I deal with any more.

Yeah, it was a Gouda scene but I could not Brie-live it. How Dairy they make him almost loose the second best part of a burger! Hopefully the next time they do it they do a Cheddar job of checking things like that.

At the end of the day some of us are gay and would prefer to see more variety where the men in the main cast are concerned. You can't even create a tall, conventionally attractive regular looking man with actual eyebrows in this game. Something which has been politely requested for years by this point.

I distinctly remember the poster in question seeking to compromise by asking for variety, only for even those attempts to be shot down. So I'm not surprised he's gotten very tired of Y'shtola when her 'sassy' comments are often cheered on and Magnai's character is deceptively read into in the worst possible manner when he's actually pretty passionate and doesn't actually force anyone to do anything that they do not wish to do.

I'm also a little confused by the claims of wanting to keep a 'distance' from the poster in question but going out of one's way to bring up past posts in order to stir the pot. I think that's rather counterproductive in regards to such a goal, if nothing else.

At any rate, I don't think it's 'misogyny' at play so much as comments made in the heat of the moment in response to his personal tastes constantly being denigrated.

I've seen similar accusations of 'misogyny' thrown around on a whim at various posters - including some who happen to be women - simply on the basis of questioning Venat's actions, so with how readily such heavy terms are thrown around I'll admit to being skeptical.

I think the core issue is that the poster being discussed can be brash and opinionated and rather than simply make use of the ignore function, some would prefer to simply resort to the worst possible interpretations of what he's saying.

I think in general regardless of orientation, it would be nice to see better customization. In terms of males, I tend to agree there is a lot to be desired, in gear design, and looks.

...

A big issue is just that FFXIV got popular, and how SE is going about it to try to cater to it's popularity, I'd say. I think Yoshida even explained that at one point, about all the casual people joining the game. At least in terms of how they wanted to design encounters (?). However, as someone who can be very casual, I don't really think they are going about it the right way, and in terms of content and rewards there is very little even for someone casual, frankly.

Bard DoTs, they have been continuously reduced in importance since Shadowbringers to the point where your basic spam attack fulfills the same purpose now.

Honestly, it's the same with Huton. It's up 100% of the time to the point that it being removed would have no impact on Ninja besides lowering the skill ceiling. The fact that I have 2 ways to get the buff and 1 way to increase its duration, I'm never finding myself needing to do it outside of the initial buff. It's just plate spinning at this point. At least with like Summoner, the Bahamet phase feels really good. You have to wait for it as it cycles to Phoenix, but when it comes back around its chefs kiss. Plus, it syncs up with the damage buff. So you just combo for nuclear damage.

That didn't even crossed my mind. Bard DoTs or just all DoTs in general, which includes my Higanbana. Did they remove PLD DoT? I don't play Tanks to know... or anything besides Samurai (obviously)
