People who are against "sexualizing" female characters are the same ones whining about representation within their games.
We are playing a game with catgirls, giants, and potatoes with legs. We aren't playing this game so that our real selves can be represented. We are playing this game to get AWAY from real life. That's what gaming is all about. As far as I'm concerned, the less me and my life are represented in the games I play the better, and I think more people should think that way.
Also, Men can run around shirtless but that's not considered "sexualizing the men".
I'm a girl playing a handsome male character. I see nothing wrong with female chars, they're cute. What do these twitter triggered people want? They want all female chars to look like ogres or something?
Imagine being so clueless that you think that the fairer sex prefers to play as an ugly character, rather that a super hot one. Like, dude. Have you ever talked to a woman?
In many other games, "The girls are the ones playing the characters" would not hold water. But FFXIV actually has a large population of female players compared to most other MMOs.
imagine saying that to a real playmate…HOW DELUSIONAL they love to show themselves and express women's natural beauty, i dont see any problem…god damn hpyocrits
i havent seen one person moan about the sexualisation of females in the comment section, but i see a million ppl moaning about the people who think sexualisation in video games is bad. lols. its like you all are agreeing with each other.
I mean the way I look at it, its their character, they can do as they please so long as it does not violate ToS… and let's face it… cat girls and playboy bunnies are fucking hot.
My take has always been "It's bad when people are forced into a choice" If a game only has skimpy girls in revealing clothing, then I draw issue. If a game only has buff white dudes in beefy armor, then I draw issue. But those as choices isn't a bad thing. It's only when people are forced into that customization (in social games especially) that is where the issue lies in a lot of games imo. FFXIV isnt absolved of issues like this entirely, where some clothing options are genderlocked, or the female version is a bit more revealing or shows the face where the male counterpart doesnt, but it isn't nearly as bad as some games, and the agency each player has is great overall.
Man takes of shirt to show off the results of all the anavar and Tren bologna sandwiches he’s been eating “that’s not objectification he’s just trying to cool down”
i was unaware of how much female players playing in japanese servers, boy i was wrong .. over 40% are girls. they usually play big daddy characters and then when they use discord its feminine af lol
Nah it's stupid in both directions. The whole game looks stupid, inconsistent and illogical in everything. All these asia mmorpgs do. They are like a trash dump in which they throw everything into that come's to their mind before they mix it. I like many of the game's aspects but that's not one of them nor do i have to desperately find reason's why everything is okay now or doesn't matter.
Someone once described the difference between female and male projection (not sure if that's actually the right word) like this: When boys play with Batman, they want to be Batman. When girls play with Barbie, they want Barbie to be them.
That's why you only ever see women and Twitter feminist men complain about how other women look.
It really is just one more reason to like FF14. It's not just the girls, it's a lot of things that point to the fact that the devs aren't caught up in woke PC BS.
Play as 10/10 jacked chad hot dude – I sleep Play as 10/10 jacked stacy hot chick – sexism moment? Zack said it right – No one cares if you are a normal person
isnt zack just asmon after he gets down from his sugar and chocolate snack high? You see the guy fade away during his streams, slip into the bottom of the screen the later it gets.
Someone else put it as "allowing them to be hot" and not "forcing them to be hot." I myself make my female character wear modest clothing, but power to the girls who wear the skimpy armor, we love to see it.
„Girls are the ones playing the characters“ is the biggest cope of online gaming
Imagine getting mad at hot female characters lmao
Only girls that get mad about "sexualised" female characters are ugly feminists.

There are 2 type of people:
1) Honest people
2) Dishonest people
Me, I like playing hot male character in a bikini.
REE HOT GIRL
Hot men AWOOGA
girls are the ones playing the characters kappa
lol he thinks its girls playing those characters… Sure there are SOME, but lets be honest!
imagine saying that to a real playmate…HOW DELUSIONAL
they love to show themselves and express women's natural beauty, i dont see any problem…god damn hpyocrits
Only fat and ugly girls care about sexualization – they just jelly

Spoken like a true virgin
I think the majority isn't against it but a vocal minority just likes to harass and try to force their weirdo povs on people
this game might be the only way someone can freely express themselves, so let em do it i say
Sexualization is one of the most natural things in this world. People who are against it are just jealous puritans who hate their lives.
I just think that’s what healthy humanoids look like. Not to mention all of the cardio our characters do
imagine wanting to have nice looking characters in a game
Thats Zack, not Asmon
Lol sexy girls and badass guys
Irl we are all the same…
Players
"I think it's awesome." Me too dude. Me too.

Woman wears bikini in media “OMG objectification”
Man takes of shirt to show off the results of all the anavar and Tren bologna sandwiches he’s been eating “that’s not objectification he’s just trying to cool down”
The fun thing is, people get REALLY upset when you speak out that they are playing Catgirls and bunnies for the gaze.
how is this a hot take lmao.
Normal guys like hot girls.
And every 60 seconds a minute passes in Africa.
Only ugly girls are getting mad.
mad about girls ingame but not mad about hot tub streams hmm
i was unaware of how much female players playing in japanese servers, boy i was wrong .. over 40% are girls. they usually play big daddy characters and then when they use discord its feminine af lol
"… It appeals to the male fantasy…"
Nah it's stupid in both directions. The whole game looks stupid, inconsistent and illogical in everything. All these asia mmorpgs do. They are like a trash dump in which they throw everything into that come's to their mind before they mix it.
I like many of the game's aspects but that's not one of them nor do i have to desperately find reason's why everything is okay now or doesn't matter.
Hot girls played by fat sweaty balding loser men….
let's keep it simple, people that are offended by sexy video game character are full of shit.
Someone once described the difference between female and male projection (not sure if that's actually the right word) like this:
When boys play with Batman, they want to be Batman.
When girls play with Barbie, they want Barbie to be them.
That's why you only ever see women
and Twitter feminist mencomplain about how other women look.me, a full grown man with a hot catgirl character: "yeah the girls are the ones playing them anyways it's chill"
It really is just one more reason to like FF14. It's not just the girls, it's a lot of things that point to the fact that the devs aren't caught up in woke PC BS.
Play as 10/10 jacked chad hot dude – I sleep
Play as 10/10 jacked stacy hot chick – sexism moment?
Zack said it right – No one cares if you are a normal person
iirc FFXIV has a gender split of around 70-30 male to female, would be interested to see how that compares to other MMO's, WoW especially.
isnt zack just asmon after he gets down from his sugar and chocolate snack high? You see the guy fade away during his streams, slip into the bottom of the screen the later it gets.
People wouldn't complain if they could see my harem of half naked catboy retainers.

The people playing the characters are the ones sexualizing themselves so yeah
