Perks for girls?

justicezer0

You have a bunch of perks like "Demolition Man", "He's a User" and the like that have words like "Man", "He", and other masculine gendered words. Can you make a bunch of perks with names like "Lady of the Lake", "Girl Friday", "Lipstick" and so on to even it up?

Nowhere is safe apparently u3u

Those are creative perk names tho. I mean... I think there's a perk with the word diary in it? Is that okay? Why are you throwing garbage at me u3u

i got a better question, who cares?

and while having the titles you get from said perks changing based on the player's gender would be nice, it's far from a reason to create a new set of perks, unless we'd have some content to go with them [have you seen how many perks are in the game already?]

after all they are just names for perks...and who goes for perks anymore?

It's about as important as having more costume sets or action figures. It's fluff, but fun fluff none the less. I like the idea of a title having the option of a his/her s/he aspect.

I put up perks that fit my characters, and it's annoying that there's so many options that don't fit because they're for boys (because of the gender specific language, and some of them sound awful if you gender flip them), and NONE that run the other direction.
Who cares? I do. Lots of people do. It's just lazy and insensitive, and that sort of thing just doesn't fly these days.
As far as making new content - you can make some of them exploration. woohoo, we marked a patch on the map that wasn't marked before. so much developer time and effort. You can link some to existing content. oh noes, someone had to start counting, say, how many DEMON Succubi they defeated in downtown. the horrors. And you can start trying to make up for the imbalance in new content.

As soon as males get to have all those female exclusive costume pieces. And vise versa.

I'm personally up for all title unlocks to include the male and female version of them.

But girls got the 'Baboochka', 'Hot Stuff' and 'Lady', what more you need?

Oh no! Me and Buxom agree.

Also there are female only emotes, EQUAL RIGHTS!!

I'm all for additional ones but only if they make sense, since most titles seem to be pop culture references. That and I'm sure a mere switch of the pronouns on some of these titles turn these things into names of or references to blockbuster movies into names of porn movies (hardcore or softcore, take your pick). However, the issue I see with this is that eventually, the argument will turn to adding more to suit other pronouns. Where's xir? xe? xhe? And so on. At which point then, it's not so much that they shouldn't try but along with calls for gendered stuff on the flipside, I feel like the devs have more important things to attend to.


Like mah XP Gifting. Where is it yo?

We could release a "Feminist Agenda" title pack in the Z-Store. Have it include a bunch of feminine titles. There's nothing sexist about that at all, and Cryptic can make a buck.

"Who cares?"

Well, if people are asking for this, it's because they care. Representativeness in medias is important, and if girls are asking for this, it's because it's important for them, and I don't see a single reason why shouldn't be done. And I know a bit about programming and it shouldn't be very hard to do a gender check and give the appropriate pronoums or perks.
