Alexthree Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I want to wear the formal clothes on my character. "It's ok, there's a slave costume for girls" I am told. While I'm perfectly fine with there being ****ty outfits in game, I find it incredibly offencive and ****ed up that I only get one option- ****. And if you have a problem with me calling a spade a spade, deal w/ it. Bioware put the costume in the game and they knew what they were doing. Remove all gender restrictions from items.

Elysion Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 You can get the balmorran resistance stuff, it has some nice leather pants and some pretty awesome boots/gloves. I find the helmet and shirt to kind of be silly looking though. But either way, formal is the only social 1 stuff, so even if you dont care about the looks its kind of unfair that female characters must grind to social 2 to get moddable light armor A few builds ago females could wear the formal clothing, it looked pretty good on females i think, i don't know why they changed it.

Thefatdaddy Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Bring back the Hawtpantz for male toons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armageddon_X Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Remove all gender restrictions from items. I am all for this but I forsee another complaint arising from it. Male w/body build #4 running around in Slave Girl bikinis. Not a pretty sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSarcastic Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 The game is implying that the only outfits girls should wear are skimpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexthree Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 The game is implying that the only outfits girls should wear are skimpy. Exactly. Or that only girls should be allowed to wear skimpy outfits, which is just as bad. Either way you look at it there's a sexist implication, and I don't like it. It is also unfair in general as somebody upthread pointed out- girls have to wait until social rank 2 before getting any of the special clothes. All I want is access to the same game people who made male characters have. The game has a nice 'gender-fairness' thing going on, and I like that for example my sith master is a strong independent woman, but this was a real slap in the face.

Ssfbistimg Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 They do have formal wear for female toons. The Corascant social gear is formal gear for females. My Sage is wearing it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're diluting the real issue with the crap your spewing about a video game. Yes, that's it. Thank you for completely taking this out of context and trying to make me look bad. That's helpful and definitely proves me wrong. There are items in game that are female only, and other items that are male only. This needs to change.

krisslanza Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 But Formal Wear is for females. I just saw it. What's wrong with something being female-only and something being male-only? How is that sexism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexthree Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 But Formal Wear is for females. I just saw it. What's wrong with something being female-only and something being male-only? How is that sexism? Because men can do it and women can't? That's, like, the definition of sexism. Same goes for the other way around. Not to mention as someone said upthread, male characters (sith, anyway) get a social outfit at rank 1. Girls have to wait until they're rank 2 and in a futher-along city. The items are very good not only for the aesthetic reasons, so I am somewhat disadvantaged compared to a male character at this point in the game. Anyway, regardless of whether or not it's even a big deal or matters in the long run it certainly is a restriction I feel should be removed. It's pointless and serves only to create a gender difference in a game where there shouldn't be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that sexism? Some people think that acknowledging that there is a fundamental difference between males and females is sexism. A man wearing a bikini is just plain idiotic.

It's pointless and serves only to create a gender difference in a game where there shouldn't be one. Maybe it's just that BioWare doesn't want to, you know, subject their graphic designers and players to the horrors of men wearing very feminine clothing - such as bikinis. Also social items are just as good as any other orange thing. The only reason to feel "disadvataged" is you can't get an easier orange sooner, or you feel the item should be easier to get because you like it.
