    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?

        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.

      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.

      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.

      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.
