Anyway I’m transgender. 
They would make money by releasing a product that come with multiplayer, campagin and forge on day one and in working condition. They decided to go the free to play route. This is on them. Not us. I’m pretty sure ALL of us are not happy with the lack of content. I’m pretty sure a good chunk of us had 60 bucks ready to buy a full package.
The reason for me saying that it should only be positive is because there is an overwhelming majority of posts that are not constructive at all, they are just down right attacks and rants.
I will admit that the balancing between unlocking cosmetics and purchasing them is unbalanced, that’s a given. It’s very one sided at this point in time.

I don’t think you see the point here. 343 chaged things that didn’t needed to be changed. There shouldn’t be the removal of options. There should be MORE options. That means more inclusion by default. There has been many posts that say they feel left out

Yes! Thank you. You get it.
Sure. But the idea that there should only be male or female options is exclusionary of people outside the gender binary. You cannot make an inclusion argument and say it should be binary in the same post without tripping over yourself.

We all need to keep in mind that 2 years of production of this game was done by employees working from home. That massively hinders your access to resources and tools.

Anything beyond male and female models would be a waste of resources because it doesn’t represent the vast majority in the world esspically since the game is free to play and on PC.
When it comes to emblems, tags, names, colors. Anyone should be able to do anything with these. But when it comes to player models it should be male and female only.
If anything I would argue for skins that represent you accurately rather then the player models themselves to keep it simple.

Okay so you’re just arguing in bad faith. You do not want inclusion, you decidedly want exclusion.
Doesn’t that mean you should take two more years to complete the game? Why crunch? Why release the game without the big features? They all know for a fact that if the game released with the big features the game would’ve have extreme glowing praise from all corners of the earth. I could’ve hated the game and if they released forge day one I would praise it up and down. That should’ve been their priority. Getting things in at launch.

I’ve seen plenty of things that are just hateful, racist, anti LGBTQ+, anti trans or entirely off the initial topic and for the most part I think locks I’ve seen are justified.
Cant speak for everyone’s experience but there are clear guidelines that im sure we are all able to admit we can fail to uphold at times and there are plenty of spaces like reddit for less moderated discourse if that’s how you feel j suggest going out into the wilder forums. Personally I’ve grown tired of all that and prefer it here. And I was very much someone who bemoaned waypoint in h4 and 5 days but I think I was just being a bit immature about things then. Its a franchise I enjoy not my identity so if a thread gets locked it isn’t a big deal to me personally.
Personally I really don’t care. I want humans in military looking power armor beating other races into blue, red and green pulps. Glass their planets, nuke their schools from orbit. Steal their resources.
Go ahead, call me xenophobic.
But man, I love some big glutes. Male, female, I don’t care.
I identify as giga chad glute lover, and nobody is taking that away from me.
Edit: except my boi arby, he’s cool. Payable elites maybe. You read that right, I won’t correct that auto correct, because it is highly correct.

Okay.
That’s disgusting.
No. First and foremost I want the basic inclusion that should’ve been there at day one. If they want to add more body types then they better have a good excuse for doing so like being done with all the other important updates. Basically I’m saying that male and female body types should’ve been there at launch and anything extra should be resources for other things. Not extra models. Other inclusions like tags, names and emblems don’t take as much time as a full model.

Sounds like you could use a healthy dose of Warhammer 40k

Mmhm, mmhm, so you want everyone who isn’t in the binary to deal with lackluster representation for an indeterminate amount of time.
Man, it kind of sucks, doesn’t it, not having the body you want? Almost like it makes you feel a really bad way?
I’d respect the sentiment a lot more if you hadn’t basically just up and told me, “Body 2 shouldn’t exist because a femmy body type ‘doesn’t’ exist, others come before you, you should get emblems instead.”
thanks but no thanks, I’m waiting on my Valkyrie emblem I’ve used for 18 years anyway.
Actually, I thought the same thing typing that out.

Not too unrealistic of a sci-fi scenario though.

I dont understand why you need a label on the body to know what gender you are?
My cis dude is a cis dude and I dont need a box labelled male to tic to know that.
I also don’t want the hit box issues of reachs thicc ladies so from a base mechanics standpoint its makes the game fairer.
But ultimately why is this topic of being mad that having a numbers (that accommodate all equally) rather than words (that serve to isolate and alienate or even increase dysphoria in community members) showing up in so many threads.
C’mon people this game has so many really problems représentation ain’t one.
Although I’d love more diverse voice in future DLC there’s lots of accents/languages in the UNSC.
I don’t think that’s necessarily a good thing.
Some people literally can not think for themselves on gender and it shows. Nice to see someone else who’s up to date on the subject.

If you want to get technical any body can have a a lot of different shapes. If the game was to go by your standard then there would be hundreds of body types.
Men tend to not have curves, women do. Men and women are the majority on this earth. This is a non debate. When a video game puts make and female it’s representing reality. Anything after that is extra. Some one that’s taller or shorter than a Spartan shouldn’t feel excluded because there is no height option. Same with any other atoribute. These are spartans and you are playing an fps. It’s not like Skyrim where you get to choose the shape of your body
