Wait, you’re accusing me of victim blaming when they’re the one who said the outfit is the reason people get sexually harassed in game? Make it make sense.
I wasn’t even mean about it though.
Chachapo, Thancred, and Urianger all have dicks in my lore, so they’ll probably never have kids of their own. But they’ll always be happy to babysit Vatti and G’raha’s daughter if they’re not too busy saving the known universe.

Do you get emotional when you see a persimmon at the store or do you not play Final Fantasy XIV?
Considering how much effort the team went to do justice to Tural, I sure can.
I heard tale of a shop on the East Coast that sells imported Love and Deepspace merch and I might have gotten a little excited.
So pointing out the logical fallacy means I’m not chill?
It’s Euro-something.
I mean if the accusation hits close to home…
I seem to understand it better than you. That, or you're white knighting.
Here they are directly attributing the attire to their harassment.
I wasn't quoting them or putting words in their mouth, I was explaining how what they're claiming sounds. Didn't we all agree ages ago that blaming a victim's attire for their harassment and sexualization is the wrong thing to do?
Okay, so you guys sexualizing the outfit is kind of creepy and I don't know why you're projecting that on the rest of us.
Some, but not all. The heck is The Black Shroud supposed to be? Thanalan? La Noscea? Ishgard's closest real world "culture" is Catholicism, Garlemald is just imperialism, and Shaaloani is anywhere a cowboy might have thought about breathing.
So even though Delilah confirmed they were talking in part about the sexualization, as soon as I point out the double standard suddenly that's not at all what's being talked about?
Mkay, I see what's going on here.
Eww, don't put words in my mouth. I'm saying exposed belly isn't equivalent to cleavage in terms of fetishization and to say that it IS implies a personally held belief that non-white cultures are inherently fetish material.
I didn't put words in your mouth.
Might I remind you of the cleavage-fest that is Dirndl's Bodice?
Okay, so you've met creeps, that doesn't mean the outfits themselves are fetishistic.
And honestly this is giving "Well it's their fault for wearing that outfit that they got creeped on."
It kind of is. I've seen this come up any time fashion is introduced into the game that isn't inspired by European cultures. It's giving "only white fashion is unoffensive."
I don't think everything with a peck or a tummy exposed in a fantasy setting that doesn't perfectly mirror the real world is fetishistic and dehumanizing. If anything it's kind of offensive to assume it is.
I mean it makes sense to me that the outfits wouldn't inherently be analogous to any one culture since many of the nations in this game aren't analogous to a singular culture?
Of course the horniest race is excluded. Of COURSE.
And then there’s Caleb…
