Thanks. Honestly I expected more of a 'meh' reaction from people on the other side of things than some of the really over-the-top hate this has gotten because it literally doesn't effect them. But in retrospect I should have known better lol. Some of the really nice responses have brightened my mood, though.
Yeah, I know what you mean. :c Subeta always seems like such an inclusive and welcoming site until you dare to suggest changing something. Heaven forbid something changes! Going through these, I flinched everytime I saw someone deliberately using gendered pronouns for Quentin. I felt like they were attacking. I'm so sorry you've gotten so much hate and venom about this. It really is a great idea.
Lemme know if you want a fellow subeta user to yell to about it. :(
how would you feel if you had to choose between a HA with a penis or a HA without a penis? I'm totally serious, and please don't be offended by my question.
This suggestion is so disrespectful for both man and woman..
I'm not sure how to feel about this suggestion. While I do support nonbinary options etc etc, with this particular site feature, the main difference between "male" and "female" HAs is breasts anyway, so I'm unsure how useful any changes like this would be, because in the end the option really does not matter in terms of what items you can equip etc etc (but correct me if I'm incorrect, it's been a while since I was outright active on the site).
The wardrobe is nigh-unusable no matter which version I use (half an hour to put together a Masquerade outfit!!), so I'd prefer seeing it become...workable before we start arguing semantics over relatively sex-less avatars.
Thanks for the kindness. I may yet take you up on that offer :)
I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean if everything about the HAs and labels on them was the same but they had genitals for some reason..?
I mean, imagine if the HAs had a penis, and we take your suggestion but we replace the breasts with penis and you had to choose between a base with a penis, and a base without a penis.
Then I would make the same suggestion - not all people with penises are male, not all people without penises are female.
so you understand that to let you choose your genitals is disrespectful for any kind of person? Can you imagine how some trans will feel about it when you put genitals AGAIN in front of his/her face?
Definitely do so :) Now I'm gunna leave this thread before I get in a fight with someone :x
... i don't know what you're talking about. i'm not suggesting that we add genitals to the human avatars, if that's what you mean.
Haha probably a good idea. I've had to refrain from responding at all to some posts in here because there is no way I could without going off the rails a bit.
aye, if nothing else it gave me a nice selection of people to start out my 'blocked users' list.
I bet! Plus I'm currently dealing with mad stomach pains so I'm irritable as all heck XD FIGHT ME SOMEONE LETS GO.
and I fully support 's suggestion/fix!
{ Tumblr || Flight Rising }Lol! I hope you feel better soon! Fighting with people in this thread'll just get you nowhere, like punching a brick wall.
I know :c and thanks! hug good luck fighting the good fight, friend. I'll get you some boxing gloves XD At least then there will be padding against that brick wall!
c: haha thank you. i appreciate that (:
If you really think it's logical to be upset over the implied sex of an avatar on a pet site, well, I don't think anyone can help you.
I don't mind the idea suggested, it makes decent sense. I also, personally, don't mind the current listed sex of the bases. They'll most likely be referred to the male base or female base in discussions regardless of whatever is changed. I guess you also have to ask where else they're going to change it. On the CW creation page its listed as male and female where you put the links to your items.
My concern is that it might get confusing when users create items. I don't know how it might be confusing, I'm sure someone else might have more insight into that. I'm not saying we NEED to keep the labels, but it's not just the wardrobe page that would need to be considered. Maybe on the CW creation page you click on the base to submit the item image for that base? But if we're going to bring up the labeled sex for the bases and the issue with that we might bring up ALL the places where they are labeled as such.
I forgot to ping. ;~;
