| As a male character, why can't I wear a bouquet if I want to? |
| Topic moved from "General game forum" to "Queries and help". |
Do you wear frocks or any kind of female dresses in real life? -.-
Come on , its intended only from females.. so females only can use them ;) |

for Tri-Force: haha |
| And what about transvestites? Equal rights for them! No partiality should be allowed. Make female gifts legal for men too! |
| its intended only from females to promote female characters in the game |
And what about transvestites?
That does not change ones gender. It's just ones sexual inclination.
I guess the artifacts are clear in stating they are for females. Personal sexual inclinations do not change one's gender.
If you are so interested in having those artifacts, you are free to create an account with the female gender. :) |

Maybe I do, maybe I don't. This is the internet -- the place where people are free to wear whatever mask they so choose.

Transvestism, known as cross-dressing to the socially sensitive, doesn't change one's sexual inclination necessarily. The majority of drag queens are straight white men -- cross-dressing is a fetish.

I doubt many people would roll female just to have these artifacts. The stats are quite sub par when comparing the stat/gold investment ratio.

The only possible answer given so far is that flowers are feminine objects and no men should be able to display femininity. Apparently I've stepped into a time machine and am now back in the 1950s. |
If you want to wear that items you need to be woman.
Im not woman and i dont wear women wear |
So, I am a woman, and I have the same question as Mr_Waffles does. I still don't see an answer, though. Let me rephrase the question: why are flowers just for women?
Please, don't repeat what was said previously and say that's just how it is. I would like an actual constructive answer. |
Because this game is not a reflection of "society". Remember the world is a broad world and just because it is socially progressive to have men wear dresses in one country, doesn't mean that is reflected worldwide.
At the end of the day, bouquets of flowers are by and large feminine objects.
This game is in no way reflective of a modern society and to suggest that you have stepped into a time machine and am now back in the 1950s. seems an odd suggestion to make.
This is a fantasy game, certainly not set in the 1950s. Where are the radios and the cameras? No, the setting of the game would be further back (if you were so inclined to put a date to it), so what is the issue with having artifacts that represent gender differences? It adds to a role-playing element. |
Corey, thank you for taking the time to put forth a thoughtful response. I disagree with most parts of your post, however.
Because this game is not...
Quite obviously it doesn't, as we're talking about fictional situations, characters, and creatures.
Remember the world is a broad world...
I think we already established that it's not a representation of the world as it is.

I mentioned the 1950s because of all the responses I got from people; the peoples' responses appeared as if they'd been said in the '50s, a time when people were incapable of discussing this type of topic.
...flowers are by and large feminine objects...
This is the crux of my point. Since this game isn't an accurate representation of the world, there wouldn't be concepts of masculinity and femininity - each concept, and the traits given to each, are constructed completely arbitrarily. This means that although flowers are perceived as feminine by the society in which we live, doesn't mean that they'd be considered as such in some other fictional society. |
doesn't mean that they'd be considered as such in some other fictional society.
But the fact that they are only available to be used by female characters, suggests that the gender construct has already been established in the fictional world. It really ought not be a question of "why is this the case" because that might only be answerable by administration. A different question might be, "Is there support for a change. How might I go about making that change" - A debate better held in I&S section of the forum.
Unfortunately, re-reading my response, it makes it seem like the answer I am providing is "because that's just how it is" :D For me personally, I do not see the issue in having gendered items in this game, but of course that is one opinion and as demonstrated in this thread and in this debate previously, there are many other valid opinions too :) |
| Because there are better things for you to wear instead. Those flowers are just to trick women because they are more susceptible to such :P |
am now back in the 1950s
My greetings to Alan Turing |

You just put about a half of earth's adult population in a category of "being more susceptible to flowers"... That is a huge generalization.
Lets just make this game to where female characters won't be able to fight, and where male characters will have to provide the resources to female characters (isn't that what men are for?), so females can just sit there and look pretty. Oh wait, they should be allowed to cook too. Isn't that just what women are for?
Actually, lets just write it in the rules that GLBT are just not allowed to register for the game.
... just so it represents Russian society exactly.
Lord Hallion91, I am sure that there are guys that like flowers more than I do. I have actually met male persons that like flowers more than I do. |
game is on russia servers must follow russia laws or shutdown therefore
1.7.1. Lecherous actions, spreading information of outright sexual nature, propagandizing non-traditional sexual preference are forbidden. |
That is so sad. I was just exaggerating to make my point, but I didn't know that it is that bad there.
Yeah, I'm done with questions. |
