Non-binary gender needs to be added to character customization

[Aword3213]

In other words, you think a company's profits are more important than non-binary lives.

If you think the lives of nonbinary people depend on the customizable options of a fictional character which consists of pixels and digits, you have more serious issues to worry about.

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.

I agree completely with this as a non binary person myself. I also think any transphobic comments should be removed here by the moderators. LGBT+ topics are not bait, and it should be carefully monitored so that we don't grow these mindsets in the community. We're being attacked more than ever before in society, and we need to be looked after as much as possible.

Nah, I think that objective, biological facts are MUCH more important than subjective beliefs that exists inside your own mind. Moreover, it would make no sense for many races to be hermaphrodites or asexual; it would be a bad written lore if implemented. I would like a race that is both or neither, but anything else is good as it is now.

Biology SUPPORTS nonbinary identities. Educate yourself. Ova don’t make a woman, and sperm don’t make a man.

If we don't even get pixels and digits right, how can we build society right?

Thank you. The transphobia in these forums are alarming. Stay safe.

Exactly and both sexes available have neither so by your definition are non binary, so we can move along now as you have your options :P

Also not sure what the original link was to prove as she states she doesnt care what pronouns are used.

You're quite literally playing a gender fluid game even when it comes to clothing You're pretty free. This is the sort of thing that's been pushing us back the last several years. We don't need some small text in our character sheet no one is ever going to look at to validate us or to feel repressed. All it would do is generate more needles animosity doing more harm than good.

Our Society will surely collapse when there are growing number of self-entitled narcisstic people who do all the demanding instead of contributing.

Remove this transphobic post at once.

‘Get to the ‘choppa!’” Please give up this farce. Your posts and threads are laughably embarrassing and pathetic attempts to stir up constructive conversations. Do us a favor and just stop, as you are an embarrassment.

We're being attacked more than ever because of posts like this. People were sympathetic when we were pointing out and trying to address real issues and just after basic rights and decency. With each non issue we try to put on the same level we burn that good will.
