Today, SEGA broadcast a news stream for PSO2: New Genesis. The last part of it mostly focused around character creation. You'll find it at 1 (hour) 23 (minutes) in this video- https://youtu.be/gUsd9cTipJw?t=4994
As a reminder, this is the Japanese side of things, not even North American localization at this point. Four body types: Humanoid type 1, Humanoid type 2 (Racial traits like Newman ears and Deuman horns are cosmetic, and you can even have both), Cast type 1, Cast type 2. How do you think women will feel if they started being called "Type 2s" instead of "women?"
City of Heroes has been using body types since the game launched in 2004. This isn't a new thing.
Yeah but those were named Male, Female, and Huge. Which is the issue at discussion here.
The other is that Huge isn't recognized as an official gender, and my biceps deserve one to themselves.
I think landwhale would work for quite a few that are pushing for woke rules.
