Non-binary gender needs to be added to character customization

I don't know why I contribute to these threads, I really should stop.

No wonder Skiros always resort to the same bait. It brings out the absolute worst of this forum in no time.

Honestly political topics should we banned and wiped clean from these boards like any half-way decently run message board.

This is a FFXIV board, not your twitter account.

I don't think that's a good idea, since a lot of people's idea of "political" discourse is just any time a minority brings up representation.

I personally want XIV to have more Afro-centric hairstyles. Is that "political"?

I highly doubt the OP is a member of a minority in any way.... unless we are counting trolls as a minority now.

they bring up divisive topics like this consistently, and for the sole reason of causing dissent and arguments.

the "moderators" of these forums might as well be seen as actively encouraging it as reporting it does nothing and the threads are allowed to continue as they degenerate into anger, insults and generally circular arguments while the trolls laugh their heads off at another successful thread...

This thread has gone way off course as far as this being a discussion about FFXIV. It's now devolved into your typical political twitter drama. A moderated forum would have prevented this and removed those types of unncessary posts. I don't know why people come to a FFXIV forum to discuss this in this manner.

why? because the moderators are seen less often than a unicorn. they are mythical non entities that do less than the STF against known bots.

come to think of it, sometimes the ONLY person that seems to do anything at SE is Yoshi, the story people and the musicians... the rest just seem to collect a paycheque for going to daily tea gardens or something

How they handle the forums and their complete lack of disregard for anything that goes on here is one of my biggest disappointments in the FFXIV team. And I do include community management as part of the team. It seems they just put up post limits and a subscription or free trial requirement and walked away. That's not good enough.

This has to be satire. It has to be. Right? Right?....

Not the first time this poster had really unique takes so I'm afraid not.

A NB student came into my office today and mentioned how they don't feel represented in media. As more people come out as non-binary, like Bella Ramsey (https://gamerant.com/the-last-of-us-...sey-nonbinary/), I think FF14 also has a role in being inclusive with gender identity as more and more people identify as NB, third gender, queergender or genderless:

I hope that Square Enix can make a progressive statement and let the first MMO include non-binary/third gender choices during character customization. If they want to go further, they could even make new racial models that have a queergender aesthetic, like Shadowbringers Urianger, which would allow for deeper customization as even people in the gender binary would also be interested in playing gender-ambiguous characters.

This request, with 2 likes, seems to me to be absolutely the majority of the 27M players, so SE will definitely be applying it as of the next patch !
