i don't get the gender slider thing. are you saying you want to be 22 percent girl, 78 percent boy or some poo poo? how the gently caress does that work? i thought people like that in real life had like balls that were also ovaries or some poo poo, and i doubt they want that.

It likely represents more the various modes of expression in identity. Farewell.

my gender identity is 63% male and 37% female with a standard variance of +/-3.7%. this is a normal and human way to think about gender that covers the wide and nuanced concept of self identity perfectly and is definitely not stupid bullshit, beep boop

I didn't say perfectly, and it's about expression or whatever people call how you like you present yourself as well as offering a chance to diverge from "Classical" forms of beauty, however flawed, because the physicality of your video game avatar is generally harder to pretend than identity, I assume.

SR2's slider isn't so you can decide your character thinks their a more "masculine" looking woman on average, it's so you can make them look like one, for example. Or whatever. IMO for whatever its faults in simulating reality, it's better than just male or female choices as long as it doesn't gently caress up the clothes or skin textures or whatever developers are considering when creating limits.

I don't know what's supposed to be funny about people who like that kind of thing other than like if some goon is really proud of his insane samoan bodybuilding pimp trans woman hitting people with a can and he's writing a lot of words about it and putting the awesome face or like, writing some fan fiction in the Saints Row forum about his character and wayne brady choked a bitch and fled the cops while on fire. You know, goon stuff.

I'd just do the Dark Souls thing of having two genders, but having a slider for masculine or feminine features.

I personally prefer say, in the Sims 4 or Eve or w/e where you can shape the character model. Hopefully some day for these non-binary folk's sakes they figure out a good way to give expressive freedom that isn't as offensive or whatever.

if i can post earnestly for a moment, like the huge human being that i am, i actually think its cool when games include gender sliders because it means that They're Trying™ and also character customization is cool and the more in depth and spergy it gets the better

Agreed.
