crabs have exoskeletons humans have endoskeletons until they die so only human skeletons are analogous to crab, if humans evolved exoskeleton on top of endoskeleton that would be better but it raises the question of what the meat becomes because if it's endomeat then surely the endoskeleton should be endoendoskeleton and if it's exomeat what is a human currently?

In Guild Wars 2, nearly half the players are humans. The most played characters are human females with access to boob wizard armour

Least played are the humanoid lion/tigers, which I think is a shame because I think they're the most interesting. Not counting the strong furry contingent

I do think every guy should play as a lady in an MMORPG for at least a while just to see how utterly deranged it is. Random guys will just follow you around, give you free stuff, and beg to be your friend. And that’s just the shallow end that’s still relatively normal
A (cis male) friend and I were playing recently, him as a female Norn, and he did get a tell from some rando calling him thicc. Which is very funny

There's been a meme going around of koopas doing that "wah-wah" dance thing from the new Super Mario Bros games, and someone just made this:

The person who made this is a fool and the koopas should be switched, because, as everybody knows, the defining characteristic of the varieties is green walking off cliffs and red remaining safely elevated.

I played GW2 on/off from vanilla up until about Season 5 (so from 2012-2021) and had at least one character of every race/gender, and never got harassed. I think it's because every other player is just a human/Norn female. Plus on-balance the boob armor isn't, ok look I'm not saying it's good but do some comparison shopping to other MMOs of the 2010s and GW2 is on the modest/classy end. I actually met a lot of women (and men) playing it, who were in it specifically because it was low rent action with good Barbie doll dress-up options. They didn't call it "Fashion Wars 2" back in the day for nothing.

The Charr (humanoid lions/tigers) are least played because 4 out of the 5 races are just standard humanoid, therefore it's pretty easy to design wardrobe items that just need to be scaled or altered slightly in proportion, versus an entirely different leg/torso/shoulder shape. Thus the Charr have the least fashion options, thus they're not as attractive to players who really really love being able to customize their character looks.

But yeah hope on most MMOs, play a lady, and watch thirsty dudes come out.

Oh, for sure.

Also on the plus side, at least one of the plunging neckline boob armour outfits also does that for males. But I maintain they're cowards for not making slutty Charr outfits with three boob windows, because that would be extremely funny.

And I admire their restraint in not giving the cat people boobs. Though they do have en-breasted plant people...

I only played guild wars 1 but i recall mesmers, and also kinda necromancers having extremely femme armour regardless of gender.

Definitely recall my necro lad rocking the lace cuffs.

Oddly bethsoft RPGs haven't ever done that and it's a shame. Morrowind at least let you cobble together an utterly horrific fashion disaster out of three different types of armour, clothing layers, and mismatched left/right gloves and pauldrons based purely on whatever you have that has the best stats/enchantments on it, except then it encourages you to throw a robe over the entire lot.

GW2 has that checkbox, to hide headgear. And one for shoulder armour, too. And another checkbox for an "outfit" that replaces everything you're wearing with something else. Mostly they're bought with microtransaction bux, which is kind of nice because it means you can pick a look you like regardless of the stats of your armour.

I've got two Charr warriors. One's a berserker elite spec, the other a spellbreaker. Both berserker and spellbreaker are a lot more fun than stock warrior!
