My dude, there’s only one group that is getting easily offended about this. Literally no one asked for this, but it’s nice to have anyway. No one was clamoring for the removal of gender labels from the character selection process.
But OH BOY are people flipping their tiddybeans about it being updated. And somehow the people going, “Oh. Neat.” about it are the overreactive ones?
We see bronzes turning into crocodiles for BM, Krasus had at least 2 forms, and all in all, it’s not out of the question that my female Dracthyr would choose a male blood elf visage without it being odd. But since the Dracthyr bodies don’t customize by gender… isn’t it rather nice to have options?
This does make a good point. The customization options between the previous binary system should become more universal, and I hope that is something we can expect down the line.
Imagine… One day we can finally have proper bearded dwarven women…
Oh, and it’s nice that people can represent themselves more accurately, too.
In EverQuest 2 all female dwarfs had a beard option. Be kinda cool if we had that here.
Also I’d just love to have all the hair options for either gender, or even across races. We just…we just need more hair options in the game…I’ll take anything at this point.
I know you’re trying to sound intelligent but it seems like you didn’t even read the changes.
They didn’t take away the ability to label yourself as male and female, they literally just changed the wording for how your physical appearance looks in the character creator.
Last time I checked humans have many different body types regardless of their gender, based on science of course.
Actually there are six sexes that don’t result in fetal death. Two are just more common than others.
But gender hasn’t been synonymous with sex since the 1930s in nearly every dictionary.
Also, as someone said, I can play a literal minotaur. Science really isn’t that influential in a world where your emotions can turn into eldritch horrors and you can go hang out in hell with your favorite Naga.
