  1. This is actually a huge issue, to be honest. This game is marketing itself as being able to do "anything that you could do in real life," so I find the fact that identifying as a gender outside of male or female isn't possible and "likely won't be possible" to be extremely problematic. Even when the creators were asked simply if male characters could wear female clothing, they said this feature likely "won't make it into Identity before launch. Possibly not at all." This is pretty shitty, considering you can fucking browse Facebook on a simulated laptop in your apartment, or literally anything else, but male-identifying characters can't wear heels?? I was surprised by how amazing the graphics were in the trailer until it came to the characters, so I really hope character expression/clothing is not just an afterthought. I'd like to be able to build my character's body and gender expression to reflect my own irl. Erasing the existence of queer identities in the game--and further, being apathetic to concerns around it--is really making me kinda wish I didn't spend my money on this already. Learning about this game made me REALLY excited, but then I was signing up and was prompted with "male or female." SUGGESTION: Listen to the people paying money to fund this project and incorporate queer identities into the character creation and expression aspects of the game. Additionally, after scrolling through some of these forum topics and realizing what this community is like, I'd like to add that I don't need any greasy 4chan neckbeards coming in here to call me an SJW or whatever. I'm literally just a queer person asking for equal treatment by the same game you want to enjoy so that we can be who we want in the game. The creators were saying in the trailer that you could play as anyone you want, so I don't see why I can't play the game as a non-binary person.
  2. at this point i'm not losing interest in the game because of the lacking gender expression features, i'm losing interest because this community (like most online gaming communities) is so fucking saturated with ugly old white men who make fun of trans people to feel better about their receding hairlines. i'm pretty new to this type of online game, but would it be possible to form a server/community that specifically blacklisted bigots? lmao because i am fresh out of spoons to have to prove my fucking gender to someone named "the orgazoid" whose main goal in this game is to spearhead an escorting service lmao
  3. y'all are conflating sex with gender and to be honest i didn't expect anything else from a gaming community. no, that's not biology, that's you regurgitating false ideas of gender identity. your sex assigned at birth is determined by your chromosomes (aside from intersex people), and your gender is how you identify, be that as a man or a woman or something else, and has absolutely nothing to do with your genitalia. i'm really sorry if that's too much science for you to handle, despite this being an extremely basic biological and psychological concept. but the communities you exist in that egg on your tired "i identify as..." and "safe space" jokes will probably never allow you to stop being bigoted.
  4. i'd like to add that the distinction between male and female bodies being their body proportions/size is really weird. i would personally be fine playing as one of the "female" body types as long as it had a flat chest. but i feel like the clothes should be adaptable to different body types in the first place.

  6. yessss i heard people could run for office and i was really hoping some leftists would try it <3 i'm like super new here and idk how any of this works, but does this mean you would only exist on the EST server? in which case, shouldn't we be like forming coalitions of commies running for office on each server?
