| Athey said: " I don't understand how femininity is unique and not cookie cutterish when a lot of the guys look feminine? I mean, I saw several people in free market who looked nearly identicle to EdibleSpeedo. I know there are only so many combinations of outfits out there, but how can you back up your arguement with 'femininity is unique' when so many of the males I see choose "hot" items like the flowers, headband, blush, seal cushion and that starry shiny scarf? Go to the free market, you'll find a handful of people who look very, very similar to each other. And all of them "feminine". I saw one guy who had a feminine avatar, but HE looked unique and all he was wearing was the entire sailor set. But, my question was answered long ago, and some of you act like I was out to crucify you or something. I was curious, I asked why. No reason to get sensitive because I asked a simple question. Now with the conversation going in the direction it is, I honestly don't think it is appropriate to defend feminism being unique when it is clearly not. Speaking only about cash shop avatars, I see more feminine ones than I do masculine. I have no problem with people who choose to display themselves this way, so don't think I'm out there trying to shove gay guys and straight guys who want to look girly in to the masculine persona people expect them to play. It was a simple question that required a simple answer. I'm not here to bash your perspectives, so neither should you." Femininity IS unique, when used correctly. If you also haven't noticed, alot of the people who either troll on the Fashion corner of Basil or are one of the people being idolized, choose NOT to wear Hot items from the Cash Shop, or when they do, use it with very rarely used pieces of clothing that exist in that huge closet that is NOT picked in. Also, YOU yourself back up my argument, when you said "I saw one guy who had a feminine avatar, but he looked unique and all he was wearing was the entire sailor set". You rest my case that femininity (When used correctly) makes for a unique character. When used incorrectly (like 90% of maplestory), you end up looking like the person next to you. Also, Masculinity in maplestory? The people who often choose to look masculine have non-nx armors, often in the form of a warrior, but then there are those who wish to look masculine, but their result is a complete disaster. But once again, Maplestory was made for people age 10 and up. If we wanted masculinity in Maplestory, why do mages have twerpy-looking wands, and animations of WOMEN when they cast spells? Shouldn't we have something that causes an explosion, in deeper, darker hues of masculinity, instead of the sunshine yellow of Genesis, or the sky-light blue of Blizzard? And also, you state that you don't want to bash on opinions, well you should not have posted this here on Basil, knowing the amount of trolls. Furthermore, you should also be open to both sides of the arguement: The people who support |
