I honestly don't understand why they don't just label them "masculine" or "feminine", and they can just add "androgynous" if they want a non-binary option. Is there an element of this that is offensive that I'm missing?

    People who are never not upset are upset when designers don't title body types as masculine or feminine and instead use a single character like "A" or "B".

    Like from a design standpoint if you have plans to introduce more body types then lettering them makes a lot of sense but I imagine that's also one of the first things to get cut from a budget because it multiplies the amount of QA that's going to happen.

    Okay, that makes sense. I just didn't know if it was that way to be sensitive of trans people or something.

    There are insane people that think michelle obama is trans. I think its more the anti-trans people are prone to just make insane assumptions and assertions.

    Lots of games have little unfinished bits. Like look at Metal Gear Solid 5: full ass AAA style game and the entire ending of the game is just missing. I think the obvious explanation is somebody intended to have more body types and just never got around to it or it got deprioritized hard by the budgeting folks.

    For a lot of people the sex is way more important than the way it is presented. I'm attracted to feminine women and masculine women but I am not attracted to men of any kind. And you can present as androgenous, but if you have lady parts I'm still hot for it.

    Wow you're like fully unflinchingly sex attracted. It's kind of magical to observe.

    Its not, it's the most dominant form of attraction.

    Your just in Lemmy where like 70% of the user base is lgbtq, furry or a shut in that has little to no real world experience outside of their bubble or the queer community.

    Its wild how frequently I see people claim to be amazed at what is frequently the most common cold ass takes on topics.

    The younger generation of the queer community has an almost overwhelming fixation with sexuality and gender identity well beyond what is normal.

    Its actually a fun case if you ever have a chance to talk to a few different elders in the community who grew up though the 60s-80s.

    Its not a new topic in the community by any means but it has caused a wild echo chamber effect over the last 15 years thanks to social media, a larger community connection, and increased representation and freedom.

    To be attracted to someone just based on hidden sexual characteristics? I'm not knocking it, but I won't pretend I understand it either

    Eh. It's less that's the only factor, and more that the range from girly to butch has little impact on if someone is attractive. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    But if they have a hidden dick they somehow know? I stand by it's weird.

    I could show them many girls that are gorgeous but they're ladyboys. Based on their logic they would be attracted and the penis shouldn't matter but then they say sex matters so how do they know that person has a hidden dick?

    I mean, if someone is attractive, then they are attractive? I don't just want to bang every attractive girl out there!

    Maybe it's different for people who go for flings, but I like to be friends with someone before anything goes to the bedroom - specifically friends enough that bedroom chat and what we're both looking for isn't an awkward topic.

    If it turns out they have a dick, then I've still got a good friend? IDK.

    To get to the bedroom means sexual attraction though? Does anyone get to the bedroom without the intention to fuck?

    And if they have a fully fem voice, and it's a hidden aspect that you won't find out until you TALK ABOUT IT then... I don't get your point.

    Just because you find out someone has a cock and balls doesn't mean you still need to bend them over, lmao. On top of that, do you think getting to that point and stopping somehow gives you "the gay?"

    Read the original post we are both replying to. Person was saying they're only attracted to women. I think we are both arguing the same thing it's fucking weird. Many "women" are actually men. The point is the person isnt going to know. They're saying it doesn't matter and yet the mythical idea of a vagina is what they look for. What if they look like John Cena but they have a vagina? Would they be attracted to them because they have the lady parts? It's weird they are forcing an absolutism on that.

    I mean... There's a difference between man, male, woman, and female.

    John Cena with a vagina would clearly look like a man, that they wouldn't be attracted to, because that's a man. Maybe a female man, but a man.

    Just note that they never said male or female, and they mentioned attractiveness, not desire to fuck.

    Just my last nitpick because I don't want an infinite back and forth they mentioned attractiveness in women but did specify what I would assume is traditional images of women hence my point you can have full on men as beautiful as women except they're hiding a dick. By their logic they are not attracted to those people because they somehow know they are not women? That is what I found weird.

    So what? The main problem today is that people are offended by anything. Its ridiculous.

    The problem is not the words, it's the people.

    I can see why game developers stay out of it though. Regardless of what their personal opinions on matter may be is it really worth dealing with a bunch of angry incels, especially if it's a big studio they don't want that kind of nonsense so they don't do it.

    The funny part is the a/b is them actually explicitly jumping straight into it

    Staying out of it would be to have ignored the problem ENTIRELY and kept using the standard method that had been used for decades in gaming and centuries in writing.

    Doing nothing and ignoring a problem is taking no stance beyond saying you won't participate.

    Changing in anyway is taking a stance. That's how that works lol

    Yeah if it's just some job where you turn the handle to put out Derivative Manshoot with Nominal Twist 2 + monetization then I can understand not feeling like putting any of your soul into it because wtf is your game even saying? Like from an artistic perspective.

    Oh wait, scrolling up, I guess this is more about RPGs. Which idk, I feel like you can get away with anything in a RPG character creator.

    I don't think it's offensive by any means, but I think it would be better as a society to get away from labeling things as masculine and feminine in a way that refers back to a traditional gender binary and assumptions. The A/B system serves that, though it fumbles when your character's pronouns are also determined by this choice.

    Personally I think they ought to make two base bodies (small and large) and then add boobs as a toggle for both. And none of this business with separate hair and face options either.

    Just call it what it is.

    Testosterone based body fat distribution and estrogen based body fat distribution.

    Then no one can be angry! After all that's basically what your picking the standardized body shape caused by fat distribution primarily dictated by the primary sex hormone in the body.

    No one can get upset if you just label everything clinically. At least not with out being a dipshit about it.

    Also free the god damn nip. ):<
